Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery – How to Get House Points

Now that the magical mobile RPG Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery is out on iOS and Android, players have been eager to figure out the best way to earn House Points in the game. House Points are an important part of winning the House Cup at the end of each school year.

In this guide, we’ll go over the different ways players can get House Points in Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery in order to win the House Cup and earn some free gems.

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery – How to Get House Points

The House Cup serves as your main goal during your year at Hogwarts. The House Cup is awarded to those who accumulate the most House Points for their house before the end of the school year. You can track your house’s progress by selecting your character picture in the upper-left corner and tapping on Rank to see the House Points leaderboard.

Players will earn House Points as they play through the story in Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery. Certain tasks or events can cause you to either gain or lose House Points. Your primary goal in the game is to accumulate as many House Points as possible to try to win the House Cup, which comes with a hefty reward of 100 Gems. 

Play Story Missions

One of the most basic ways to get House Points in Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery is by playing through the main story. As you take lessons, learn magic, and improve your wizardry skills, you will accumulate House Points that go toward your yearly total.

It’s important to note, however, that there will be events during the main story that will cause you to lose House Points as well. To counteract this, players must find alternative ways to earn House Points to boost their final score.

Rep Your House’s Values

One of the best ways to get more House Points in Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery is by always making sure to act in a way that coincides with your chosen house’s values. Ensure that you are choosing dialogue options that fit with and reflect the views of the house you are a part of.

Pay attention to the color surrounding each dialogue option, as this helps indicate the value attribute for that dialogue choice. Selecting dialogue that falls in line with the core values of your house can help you occasionally nab some extra House Points. 

Here are the value attributes associated with each house:

• Gryffindor – Brave and Daring.
• Hufflepuff – Dedicated and Loyal.
• Ravenclaw – Intelligent and Witty.
• Slytherin – Ambitious and Cunning.

Be a Good Student

Another way to earn more House Points in Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery is by doing well in classes, lessons, and challenges. Successfully completing classes can sometimes reward you with House Points at the end, so you’ll want to make sure you’re at the top of your game. Finishing a class without the minimum star requirement essentially means you’ve failed the class, which can result in you missing out on House Points.

Do Side Quests

After playing through some of the main story missions in Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery, there will eventually come a time where the game requires you to wait for a few hours before you can dive back in again. This is the perfect chance to start doing some side missions or optional classes to pass the time and earn extra rewards. 

Completing side content can sometimes help you get additional House Points to supplement points you may have lost during main story and allow you to maintain your house’s rank on the House Cup leaderboard.

Now that you know the best ways to earn House Points in Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery, you are one step closer to earning the coveted House Cup. For more tips and tricks, such as how to choose the right wand for your character, head over to our Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery guide hub.
