  1. [R14] Harry Potter 5/5 · US Really fun community game: Really enjoy puzzles. But more importantly enjoy the team I’m apart of and the weekly team events the game stages for us to participate in.
  2. [R52] Harry Potter 5/5 · US Love this game!!!: I have played this game for years. It never gets old. There are so many new and fun challenges. Love this game!!
  3. [R61] Magic Wands 1/5 · GB Bad: The dungeon is still closed🙄
  4. [R67] Magic Wands 1/5 · GB Dungeons: Hurry up and make the dungeon mode 😡🤬🤬🤬please I’m begging you 🥺🙏🙏
  5. [R4] Harry Potter 1/5 · US Nope: Too many temu trap adds, I can’t even play the game because of them.
  6. [R10] Harry Potter 2/5 · US Ads: All of a sudden there’s an ad banner constantly running but I don’t know how to remove it. Any suggestions?
  7. [R37] Harry Potter 1/5 · GB Glitch after update: It glitches and freezes after latest update. Lost so many bolts and bombs :/ please fix it
  8. [R43] Harry Potter 1/5 · GB Keeps crashing: Just near completing a game it crashes and I lose lives and all the bits I’ve used
  9. [R79] Magic Wands 1/5 · GB Wands: For some reason the only thing that works on my iPad is wands I can buy and use wands that is it the dungeon still says coming soon.
  10. [R9] Harry Potter 3/5 · US 50/50: Great game but zynga is so greedy with the micro transactions!
  11. [R22] Harry Potter 1/5 · US Was great: This used to be a great game. But with all the impossible puzzles w/o buying power-ups, it’s just too aggravating. Games should be fun but this game is infuriating. The algorithm is like all the rest. Spend to win until you start losing then spend some more. The super charmed bag is a joke now. You finally get it, then lose it a few games afterwards. Then suddenly, charmed bags galore i
  12. [R64] Magic Wands 1/5 · GB Terrible game: This game is just about buying wands! Nothing good about that!
  13. [R86] Magic Wands 2/5 · GB What is the point of this game?: Press buttons to cast spells to maybe get money to get new wands that do absolutely nothing
  14. [R1] Harry Potter 1/5 · US Theft: They refuse to restore lost game progress due to in game glitches. They refuse to refund money spent for a sale package or credit the game. The game is fun. The lack of support ruins it. I do not recommend this game at all!
  15. [R45] Harry Potter 1/5 · GB More frustration: Each time I open the game I get a message saying the game is out of sync. I have raised the issue a number of times but no response. What is the point of a game that does not work properly and getting no response when issues are raised.
  16. [R70] Magic Wands 1/5 · GB To the devs: Shame the developers have abandoned this game, it could have brilliant and loads of fun.
  17. [R90] Magic Wands 1/5 · GB No: Doesn’t load the dungeon even though game is more than a few years old, seems like it has potential though
