The mystery over who the werewolf is in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is officially over, his identity has been revealed.
Until very recently, the logo that appeared when loading Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery was always the same. It featured Hogwarts, the player, and Hogwarts Professor. Then, after a significant update, it all changed and there was a whacking big werewolf in the middle of the screen.
Who this werewolf was has been heavily speculated amongst players, ranging from the fairly plausible, to the outright ridiculous. Speculation is no longer required, however, as developers of the mobile game have officially unveiled who it is.

It’s never been fully known what Greyback got up to between the fall of Lord Voldemort and his rise to power the second time, so this does give the opportunity for fans to get some answers to questions they have, assuming Jam City is willing to answer them.
More importantly, however, we now have the answer to who the werewolf is in the loading screen. Our next question now is, what impact will Greyback have on the future of the game?
