Games like Harry Potter for iPhone and iPad
Two official Harry Potter games are on the App Store right now, Hogwarts Mystery and Puzzles & Spells. The rest of this list are games like Harry Potter: they share the wizard school, the potions or the spells, but they have their own worlds. Each entry tells you which part of the magic it covers.
We make Harry Magic, so it's first on this list. It's an independent game and not an official Harry Potter product. Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery and Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells are the two licensed games here. The others come from other developers and nobody paid to be included. Each one was on sale in the US App Store in November 2026.

Harry Magic: Potions Class
This game is one thing only: the potions class. You stand at the bench with a cauldron and five vials, pour exact recipes by eye in under a minute and wait for a strict Professor's mark. No story to follow and no energy to wait for. The first six classes are free.
-
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery
The official one for playing a student. You get your letter, pick your house, learn spells, brew potions with Snape and work through the years at Hogwarts in a new story. With 1.3 million ratings it's the biggest game of this kind. Rated 12+.
-
Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells
The official puzzle game. You beat match-3 levels to unlock and upgrade spells, and scenes from the films play as you go, with Harry, Ron and Hermione, Fred and George, and Hagrid. Choose it if you want the characters without a story to manage. Rated 9+.
-
Sorcery School
Monsters have invaded the Owl School of Magic, and you help the professors defend their classrooms. It's solitaire with spells: you clear cards, collect ingredients and upgrade characters. The store page says you can play offline with no internet.
-
Witch Arcana: Magic School
A magic school story with a darker tone and a real-time strategy side. Your day runs from spells and potion class to fights against the forces behind the rift portals. It suits older players who want choices and battles. Rated 12+.
-
Idle Magic Academy
Here you run the school. You expand it, enroll students and watch them graduate from classes in spells and potions. Choose it if the castle interests you more than the homework. Rated 4+.
-
Cat Magic School: Cute Tycoon
The same idea with cats. You're the principal of a magic school full of cute cat students, and you add classrooms until it's famous around the world. It's a calm game that keeps running while you're away.
-
Mystical Mixing
You mix ingredients in a cauldron, stir, tap with a wand and hatch magic pets. The tricks include love potions, rainbow magic and turning invisible. It's a looser, sillier take on a wizard's craft, and you build a village as you go.
