Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mysteryis known for its plot holes and inconsistencies with the mainHarry Potterfranchise. The latest update to the game seems to add yet another plot hole, and it has to do with the placement of the Leaky Cauldron pub in thenew Diagon Alley area.
As pointed out by users on Reddit, the magical brick wall that separates Diagon Alley from the Muggle world should be between the Leaky Cauldron and the rest of the street. However, inHarry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, the Leaky Cauldron is locatedinsideof the brick wall, which clashes with what we already know about the area’s layout.
This inconsistency may annoy hardcoreHarry Potterfans, but compared to other plot holes in the game, it’s really not that big of a deal. Some have noted that the layout of Diagon Alley inHogwarts Mysteryis actually similar to the layout of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando, Florida, which also has the Leaky Cauldron on the “wrong” side of the brick wall. And just like The Wizarding World of Harry Potter attraction, it’s likely that this inconsistency was done for the sake of convenience.
Inconsistencies with the source material are one thing, butHogwarts Mysteryis known to be inconsistent with itself. Perhaps the most infamous example isthe case of Ben Copper, who at one point inHogwarts Mystery’s story, is supposed to be missing. Despite Ben’s “disappearance,” he still appears in classes and the like, which makes no sense considering much of the plot at that point revolves around finding him.
Plot holes of that magnitude have been far less common inHarry Potter: Hogwarts Mysterythan they were in game’s early days, so it’s improving in that regard. Hopefully Jam City will continue to avoid plot holes and inconsistencies as it continues to add more content to the popular mobile game.
