The mobile game Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery has added pets, bringing its virtual wizard school experience closer to authenticity … at least as we know it from the books.

Hogwarts Mystery launched in March for Android and iOS. Thanks to the strength of its license (we haven’t seen many Harry Potter games for mobile), the free-to-play app from Jam City quickly topped charts. But players criticized the energy mechanics, which limit how much you can play unless you spend money. It is now the No. 91 ranked game in the U.S. Apple app charts, according to App Annie.
