Mobile game 'Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery' isn't all that magical
If you're not blessed with the virtue of patience, stay away from this mobile game or you'll be in for an expensive ride, writes Sylvia McKeown

The moment you've wished for is here. You get to go to Hogwarts, even if it is just on your phone. An owl brings you a letter and everything. You are blessed with magical abilities, but if you are not blessed with the virtue of patience then keep away.
Based on the mechanics of the smash-hit Kim Kardashian: Hollywood game you learn and make your way around the school for wizards by using "energies" that take up to four minutes a time to replenish.
You use these energies in school lessons and magical adventures taking between one to eight hours a time to finish. You spend that time mostly waiting for time to pass before more magic can happen.
