I don’t care about the magical cards or prizes. I just want to earn corns and play my game ### 3/5 — Used to be fun *2026-08-30, version 115.1.365* I’ve been playing this game since it first came out. It was engaging and fun. (Especially the win streaks!😄). I’m on a great team with lots of cooperation and support. This past year however, the puzzles have become extremely frustrating because there are too many goals for too few moves allowed. It is not fun to play the same puzzle over and over and not be able to win even with a fully charged creature. This happens way too often. It seems to have become a money grab - make you so frustrated that you spend $ to advance. This is not fun at all and if it weren’t for my wonderful team I’d have quit by now. Do better Zynga. ### 2/5 — Hate new changes *2026-08-29, version 115.1.365* I hate all the changes because they have cost me a lot of coins! The box to exit the game play has now changed to “keep playing and gives us all your coins”. I’ve lost thousands of coins. Today I lost 1200 coins trying to exit the game. :’( ### 4/5 — Was !! The Best 3 Match Game *2026-08-28, version 115.1.365* The games visuals are great and team play aspects as well. They took the ability to save your coins to purchase premium during the completion. Now cash only. Not cool ### 5/5 — Love this game!!! *2026-08-28, version 115.1.365* This game is so fun and addictive!! ### 5/5 — Still one of the best *2026-08-27, version 115.1.365* I’ve been playing this a while. It seems that fewer people are on here these days, but it’s still one of the best games IMO in terms of variety and challenge. ### 5/5 — Balanced *2026-08-27, version 115.1.365* “Balanced”! I can’t find a better suited word for this game! I have been playing it for years and I still haven’t found a moment to stop or take a break from it! The developers know when to make it challenging, when to ease it, make it fun, competitive or more laid back! Even though the use is ads is very moderate and even their duration is NOT as long as other games! Kudos to all the people who worked and still are working for this amazing game! Thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 ### 2/5 — Avaliação *2026-08-27* Regular. Ja foi melhor. Fases que o algoritmo deixa mais difícil.

Obrigado por jogar Zynga Games! ### 5/5 — Like it, but *2026-08-25, version 115.1.365* I like the game, but when are you going to put the death of hallows levels in it ### 5/5 — I love your game *2026-08-25, version 115.1.365* I like your game cuz it is hard but not to hard ### 4/5 — ❤️ *2026-08-24, version 115.1.365* This is so so so so fun!!!! I love it definitely recommended for more than nine year olds ### 5/5 — Гарри Поттер: магия и загадки *2026-08-24, version 115.1.365* Я играю на Apple - этот планшет сделан в Америке, но именно играя на этом планшете, я крайне редко прохожу уровни, самый лучший результат игры - один уровень за 25 минут. Худший результат: один уровень за 48 часов. Перестали давать возможность приобрести премиум-пропуск за игровую валюту! Раньше можно было за 10000 золотых монет купить премиум-пропуск. Сейчас только одно требование: покупай за реальные деньги. Раньше было интереснее играть, было больше нужных и необходимых наград, которые помогали при игре, при прохождении уровней, сейчас ничего этого нет 😢. Игра стремительно теряет свою привлекательность и рейтинг. Разработчикам это событие глубоко безразлично. Хотелось бы, чтобы разработчики очнулись ото сна, улучшили бы условия для прохождения уровней и событий игры и вернули бы этим былую популярность игры до оценки 4,9. Советую игру тем, кому будет интересно проходить один уровень за двое суток!!! А рассказывать обо всех косяках в игре - ни какого здоровья не хватит!!! Всё не могу больше играть, уже тошнит от того, что не дают играть, не дают проходить уровни, ни какие игровые задания не дают проходить: За три дня дали один раз пройти уровень в событии: «Битва за Хогвартс». Событие : «Дерево Лукотруса» вообще ни разу не дали пройти. Бросаю эту игру, устала от всего этого беспредела. Жизнь одна, и терять время на эту бесполезную игру - слишком шикарное событие. Любая игра должна приносить удовлетворение, а не полное разочарование. ### 5/5 — DVDS *2026-08-24, version 115.1.365* I just love Harry Potter movies and games ### 3/5 — Returning player *2026-08-24, version 115.1.365* I played this years ago when it first came out, and recently decided to try it again. It was a pretty terrible returning player experience. There must have been at least 10 minutes of constant pop ups telling me about all the new systems introduced to the game. Then I came to realize that having played to around puzzle 200 way back then was actually a disadvantage because I guess most of the progression systems didn’t exist back then. I started a new account and already have more progress with creatures, more power ups, more coins, some spells upgraded to a higher level etc at close to puzzle 100 than I did at puzzle 200 on my original account. Having an older account should feel valuable, not like a liability. I’ve now started getting banner ads so large they that cause the actual game boards to shrink down to a point where they’re hard to see and just feel really cramped. This frankly makes the game unplayable. I get f2p games are going to have ads, but banner ads should not shrink down the actual game and impede playability. ### 5/5 — Love this Game ❤️ *2026-08-24, version 115.1.365* Great game, keeps, mind busy, and lets you figure out moves 🤗 ### 5/5 — I love Harry potter *2026-08-23, version 115.1.365* I love this game and I love it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ficou difícil e cansativo *2026-09-06* Todos os times desanimaram **Developer response:** Olá! Agradecemos por compartilhar sua experiência. É compreensível que o jogo possa parecer desafiador e até cansativo em alguns momentos. A paixão que vocês têm pelo jogo é valiosa, e esperamos que, com o tempo, possam redescobrir a diversão que ele pode proporcionar. Se tiverem alguma dificuldade, encorajamos vocês a entrar em contato com nossa equipe de suporte pelo recurso de ajuda no aplicativo. Obrigado por jogar Zynga Games! ### 1/5 — Impossible puzzles *2026-09-03, version 116.0.366* Have played this game for at least 5 years. The puzzles have become much harder the longer you stay. Features like Super Charm bag are lost after only 1 or 2 games of achieving. It’s no longer relaxing when I have play the same puzzle 6 times to get past it. I spend money to get in game coins but when completing the puzzle is this hard, the benefits gained from spending money are wasted. Many benefits can only be achieved by winning. The only good thing about the game is the Club feature and group chat. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-09-02, version 115.1.365* I went to play the game last night and I had to log back in for some reason and now I have no club. The page just says “welcome to the club panel “ then a box underneath a graphic of a chat box with a trophy it says “currently unavailable….. please try again later” I’ve been trying for over 24 hours and it’s still not available. I’m sure I’ll be kicked out of my club unless everyone is having this issue. ### 1/5 — Decepcionante *2026-08-19, version 115.1.365* A venido de más a menos, premios absurdos, ya estoy en proceso de buscar otro juego ### 1/5 — 公平性とは？ *2026-08-18* パズルを6連続毎にクリアすれぱ貰えるゴールド報酬が無くなりました。理由が不公平になるからだそうです。パズルを上手にクリアしたらダメなんですかね？大谷翔平が打ちすぎるからバットもって打席に入っちゃダメなんですよ。と言われてるようなもんです。 チートをやり得にしてみたり、イベントや仕様変更が人によって開始時期が違ったり、同じイベでもクリア報酬や条件が違うのって不公平じゃないんでしょうかね？私は前にイベント報酬を他の人の半分にされた事があります。ハンデキャップがあるゲームなんて初めてでした。同じアイテムなのに人によって課金額が違ったりする事を平気でした事ある運営です。 P.S. コンテニューが900ゴールド1クリアで貰えるゴールド平均20、これだけで今の運営のユーザーに対する視点がわかります。 初期設定なのを報酬だけは9割減、ムーブも極端に減らして理不尽なステージばかり。カード集めも直にアイテム等を報酬にしてたのに実質報酬激減作。揃わないカードをダラダラと集めされます。最近では約400ステージクリアでやっと新1枚でした。 初期プレーヤーがどんどん引退しています。とにかく詰まらなくユーザーを楽しませる気がありません。とにかく搾取しか考えてません。 とても残念です。 **Developer response:** ゲームの公平性についてのご意見、ありがとうございます。報酬の変更やイベントの不均等な実施が不満を招いていること、理解いたしました。ゲームが楽しめないと感じるのは非常に残念で、私たちもその点を重要視しています。お寄せいただいたフィードバックは、社内でしっかりと受け止め、今後の改善に活かしていきます。もし何か問題がございましたら、ゲーム内のサポートチームにご連絡ください。ご意見をいただき、本当に感謝いたします。 Thank you for playing Zynga Games. ### 1/5 — Used to be fun, now it’s just frustrating *2026-08-17, version 115.1.365* Value in terms of purchased perks and power ups is garbage at this point. Your money doesn’t get you far, especially with how many events are focused on win streak. It’s also extremely disheartening how cheated you are on trophies when new weeks start. I logged in today and earned 60 trophies from the monthly calendar after watching an ad, but not only were they not attributed to the new week, my progress was reset an hour later and I have to now pay 200 to get the day I missed. The inconsistency and poor synchronization combined with how little value you get for spending money has made me so angry that I no longer want to play at all. Also, there is no such thing as VIP. They might send you one or two emails but you don’t get anything out of it. ### 1/5 — Used to be a great game *2026-08-13, version 114.0.362* The game has changed drastically in the past 4 months. I have been a VIP for the last 4-5 years, whatever that means. The game makes you spend spend spend and when you do, there is absolutely no advantage in doing so. They changed the algorithm so it is soo difficult to win without using up what you purchased. The game is garbage now. ### 1/5 — Quite buggy *2026-08-11, version 114.0.362* Aside from JK being a horrible person, this app is really quite buggy, the wrong screens are shown, it frequently hangs in transition, requiring an app restart to clear ### 1/5 — Potential to be such a great game but unbalanced. *2026-08-07, version 114.0.362* Game itself is fun in a world we all love, however, the rewards system is completely unbalanced. Level continuations and things cost way more coins then you ever win for anything. Bonus levels are impossible to beat and the cards for rewards is useless and completely unnecessary. I do enjoy playing the game it just feels way too unbalanced for greed purposes obviously. I’d happily pay $1-$2 here or there but this game is outrageous. ### 1/5 — USED to be fun and engaging *2026-08-07, version 114.0.362* Zynga continues to take away the enjoyment by making bonuses misfire, awarding fewer bonuses, making more mistakes with every update, making games harder to win the moment you have your creature meter full. The list of transgressions gets longer and longer. It’s become more punitive and harder to make progress every update. It used to be the perfect game. Now it’s work. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Harry Potter fan check! *2026-09-06, version 116.0.366* this is the best! I have no words, it’s just amazing ^_^ ### 5/5 — Très bon jeu *2026-09-05* Dommage trop de pub qui font planter le jeu De plus ils faudrait limiter la durée des pub à 30secondes max et revenir directement au jeu Merci Pourquoi on redescend systématiquement dans la prison d’askaban lorsque on s’abstient de jouer pour aller travailler ? **Developer response:** Bonjour tedlorient, C'est super d'entendre que vous appréciez le jeu !
