Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, should we expect the Whomping Willow soon?
By Callum Gunn
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery has been teasing us about the Whomping Willow on Twitter, does this mean we can see its introduction to the game very soon?
The tree that all Hogwarts students fear but only the enlightened respect, the Whomping Willow, can be found in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery. However, if you were to approach the tree and give it a little tap, you will be greeted by a message explaining that it is currently locked.
That is a much better greeting than what normal students would get, a whack by one of the Whomping Willows branches, but it is one that is still frustration. Some players on Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery have come as far as the game will allow that they are choking for some new content to be added and with any luck, the Whomping Willow will soon be such an edition.

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery has been teasing us with the Whomping Willow. Sharing a caption of the tree on Twitter with the statement that it hits back has raised the question over if the tree is about to be unlocked.
For those who have reached the point of needing new content will probably be thinking that it is not. That it will not unlock until Year 6, as per the message when you approach it, and we are way too far away from that. While that is certainly true it is no means a binding contract that says the Whomping Willow is only allowed to become accessible in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery in year 6.

It could say that because the developers intended it to be for year 6 but are thinking of bringing it forward. If they did hold off until year 6 it is rather a cruel tease to play on us.
