According to the Hollywood Reporter, Maggie Smith, Michael Gambon, & More will reprise their famous HARRY Potter roles for new mobile game HARRY Potter: Hogwarts Mystery which will be released on April 25.

Six of the actors who appeared in the HARRY Potter movies are set to reprise their roles as voice actors for the animated game, including Maggie Smith as Professor McGonagall and Michael Gambon as Professor Dumbledore. Also returning to the world of HARRY Potter are Warwick Davis (Professor Flitwick), Sally Mortemore (Madam Irma Pince), Gemma Jones (Madam Pomfrey) and Zoe Wanamaker (Madam Hooch).

In the game, developed by Jam City in partnership with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, Hogwarts Mystery allows players to become students at Hogwarts before the events of the novels and subsequent film adaptations.

"Our goal with HARRY Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is to make players really feel for the first time like they're attending Hogwarts," said Jam City CEO Chris DeWolfe. "By including these iconic and incredibly talented actors in the game, we come one step closer to truly giving fans their own Hogwarts experience."

Smith, who appeared in seven of the eight HARRY Potter films, added: "If I could attend Hogwarts as a student, I would be most excited to attend the potions class taught by Severus because it is the most exotic."

The game is set for release on April 25 and will be free to download and have in-app purchases. The game will be available for iOS and Android devices.
