1	* LyingCreator: In a roundabout way. Players datamine the game and go through the files to find information on future content. Allegedly, they found files labelled as being about Rowan's birthday in year 6. [[spoiler:The developers are aware of the practice and deliberately used it as a CodeName for the plot of killing off Rowan.]]
2	* RoleReprise: Creator/ZoeWanamaker returns as the voice of Madam Hooch for the first time since 2001, having left the film series due to a pay dispute.
3	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The PlayerCharacter's brother Jacob was named William in the beta.
4	** Penny Haywood was originally considered to be the main character of the game.
5	** There is [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EGsXrg_X4AIeK9u?format=jpg&name=900x900 a Celestial Ball image]] from a convention with a more realistic art style and different-looking dresses for Penny and Merula. Penny made it to a model in the game files that is nearly identical to final release, but with a golden wreath on her head instead of the crown braid.
6	** Apparently models of Tulip have been found wearing [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/405218983512637441/800640194738126869/unknown.png essentially blue recolours]] of the three First Date dresses a female MC can choose. It is possible that the developers considered having her wear one of those to the date and letting players choose one out of the other two dresses, but ultimately all three are available to MC while Tulip appeared in First Date wearing her normal school outfit, which certainly didn't help her popularity and she was subsequently cut from Valentine's Day.
7	** There were files of voiced lines for Penny and Merula found back in 2018, but they were not implemented. So far, only teachers have any voiced lines.[[note]]The lines spoken at chapter end are by Dumbledore. Most characters only have shrieks, laughs, and grunts. Molly and Arthur does have a "Yes" and a "Blast!" that reflects their dialogue, but not directly from it.[[/note]]
8	* WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants: The writing team has seen some changes, possibly leading to this. The story borders on KudzuPlot, with {{Aborted Arc}}s like sneaking into the ministry, and fancying Penny in the main story (likely due to fan backlash). Tulip was originally supposed to have a much larger role (and was the favourite character of the previous lead writer), but she is currently DemotedToComicRelief.
9	* WordOfGod: A writer for the game [[https://www.reddit.com/r/HPHogwartsMystery/comments/9r41um/npc_wand_woods/ revealed]] what the wand woods of some of the main characters are, and the minor backstories behind Rowan's and Tulip's wands. At some point he also compared [[BlondeBrunetteRedhead Penny, Merula, and Tulip]] to [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Gwen, Felicia, and Mary Jane]]. But as WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants above, this was from earlier days of the game.
