Meanwhile, Reddit user Koning038 found Emma Watson, best known for her role as Hermione Granger in theHarry Potterfilm series listed as a fourth year Ravenclaw in the game.

Besides potential celebrity names found in theHouse Cup leaderboard, celebrities are present inHarry Potter: Hogwarts Mysteryin another capacity as well. While voice acting in the game is relatively sparse, what’s there is actually performed by the movie cast, with the likes of Dame Maggie Smith (Professor McGonagall), Michael Gambon (Professor Dumbledore), Warwick Davis (Professor Flitwick), and more reprising their roles from the films.
