Summary
Thousands of concerned fans are signing a petition to keepHarry Potter: Magic Awakenedonline. For the uninitiated,Harry Potter: Magic Awakenedis a collectible card game/RPG set in the Wizarding World universe. It was initially released in China and Taiwan in 2021 before making its worldwide release in the summer of 2023.
Harry Potter: Magic Awakened’s global releasewas on July 31, 2025, four months after the massive hit open world action-RPGHogwarts Legacyhit store shelves. Since its launch,Magic Awakenedhas attracted a dedicated fan base, but it seems that there aren’t enough of them to justify keeping the servers running. WB recently confirmed that it would be delisting the game immediately and shutting down theMagic Awakenedservers on October 29, giving fans mere months to play the game before it’s lost to the void forever.
As one might imagine,Magic Awakenedfans are not happy about the shutdown news. What’s worse is that players are not even getting refunds for their purchases, and after October 29, any in-game currency they may have will no longer be available. Disgruntled fans have voiced their concerns on social media, with some going as far as to create apetition on Change.orgto ask NetEase Games to pick up the global publishing rights toHarry Potter: Magic Awakened(NetEase publishes the game in China and Taiwan, and those versions will remain live after the October 29 shutdown) and save it from being shut down. The petition has 3,395 signatures at the time of this writing, with 475 added today. New signatures are added with nearly every refresh of the page, indicating thatHarry Potterfans really want to seeMagic Awakenedsurvive.
Thousands Sign Harry Potter: Magic Awakened Petition
Now, even if theMagic Awakenedpetition gets thousands more signatures, fans shouldn’t hold their breath that the game will be saved. It seems as thoughMagic Awakenedsimply wasn’t making enough money to justify keeping its servers online, which is a shame, but it’s also a risk when it comes to live service games. That’s why gamers should always be cautious aboutbuying microtransactions in live service games, as there’s always the possibility they will be shut down and all the money they spent on them will be wasted.
Fellow Harry Potter mobile game Wizards United was shut down in November 2021 after about two years of service.
This is far from the first time that concerned fans have created a petition about aHarry Pottervideo game. With news that WB is interested in creating more live service games, fans started aHogwarts Legacy 2petitionasking that the sequel folllows in the footsteps of its predecessor by being a single-player experience.
