Some were excited to be able to choose their own house.
Instead of going to the gym before going to work, I'm out here playing #HogwartsMystery instead😆🤦♀️🤣What can I say, I'm such a Potterhead🤷♀️At least the sorting hat let me choose my house, unlike @ pottermore😑😅Anyway, I'll continue playing this during my break at work

Others were not.
The sorting hat scene is so anti-climatic. 😫😣 #HogwartsMystery

And we all know Hogwarts is a dangerous place, but being strangled by a plant on your first day?!

Technically, it's free. The biggest problem? SUPER slow gameplay, unless you’re willing to make microtransactions to pay to play instead of waiting for energy to reload.

But not to worry, someone filled us in on how to get extra energy!
YOU CAN GET MORE ENERGY BY TAPPING ON PARTICULAR THINGS IN EACH SECTION OF THE CASTLE!! I REPEAT EXTRA ENERGY!! (THERE ARE MORE LOCATIONS THAN THIS EG THE STICK IN THE CASTLE GROUNDS) #HogwartsMystery pic.twitter.com/mLax3cRcmU
