Ahoy there me hearties! Yer friendly app pirate had an excellent time with the crew. We had a movie marathon since we were still far from our destination. We watched all the film installments of Harry Potter and boy did that kept us entertained! Me watched those movies before, and even read all the books, and it never goes old. Aye, this bucko is not just into booty hunting, but me also into magic! Would ye believe me even dressed up as a wizard last Halloween! Har har, har! Since this old salt is still feeling the wizard vibe, me decided to share an app review of the game called Harry Potter: Puzzles and Spells by Zynga. Avast ye and let’s start.
It’s nostalgic
Harry Potter fans who are into match 3 puzzle games will find this app as an exceptional treat. It will immediately give you the Harry Potter feels as soon as you start the game. You get to select your character and your wand too. Even the background music is the same sound you will hear in the movie.
Topnotch graphics and animation
The developers did an exceptional work graphic-wise. It’s exciting to see the characters and the details that you will be instantly familiar with if you are a Harry Potter fanatic. From the characters like Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Hagrid, to the newspaper of the popular Wizarding world, everything is inspired by the movie. The animation is also fantastic. Instead of non-moving objects, you will see movement like the movement of the wand when casting spells, and the characters moving too.
Typical match 3 gameplay
The gameplay is similar to other match 3 puzzle games. You will have a limited number of moves to complete each level. However, unlike other similar games that are star rated, this one will not give you star ratings. You can’t also go back to the previous levels you already completed.
Free but higher levels can be too difficult
It’s a free game that comes with ads, although you will not be bombarded by it. There is also an option to pay money to remove ads, although you can still enjoy playing without doing that. There are hundreds of levels available for now, but the higher ones are frustrating to complete. The level of difficulty on these levels, take away the fun of the game.
The good
The app is free and it will take you back to the popular Harry Potter movie and book. It has superb graphics and impressive animation. It has hundreds of levels.
The bad
Some of the higher levels can be too difficult that they feel frustrating to solve.
The verdict
Harry Potter: Puzzles and Spells is recommended for Harry Potter fans who are into match 3 puzzle games. It has the familiar gameplay of the usual match 3 puzzle game, but with the nostalgic theme of the popular Harry Potter movie. It’s also free and it comes with hundreds of levels, although some of the higher levels can be too difficult to solve.
