Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery Summer of Mystery Guide (July 2026)

The “Summer of Mystery” event in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery asks you to crack a new clue each day in order to uncover hidden rewards scattered around Hogwarts. Since the challenge refreshes every 24 hours, this guide is set up to be updated throughout July with the newest hint and the exact place to look.

One important caveat before you chase any of these answers: you won’t see the Summer Mystery “solutions” until you’ve progressed far enough in the main story. Based on my experience, you need to move beyond the point where you talk with Hagrid about magical creatures in Year 1, Chapter 5.

And if you’re in the mood for nostalgia, the wider Harry Potter universe is packed with funny lines that still land with fans years later.
