Hermione’s Shop

Hermione’s Shop Betrayed and broke, Hermione opens a magical potions shop with House help. Brew, sell, earn tips, meet weekly sales goals, and survive inspections from Professor Snape as upgrades unlock new recipes.

Hermione’s Shop

Hermione’s Shop is a laid-back management simulation where you run a potion business and try to stay afloat in a magical world that never lets you rest. You play as Hermione, who—after being betrayed by her closest friend and losing all her money—accepts help from the House to open her own potions shop.

To succeed, you’ll need both wit and charm: bring in customers, earn tips, and keep experimenting by brewing fresh potions. Every week, you must hit set sales goals and survive stern inspections by Professor Snape. As you progress, you can improve your shop—unlocking new facilities and expanding your potion catalog.

You can choose how you approach your business: go with straightforward management, or rely on your charm to draw customers in and unlock various eye-catching animations. So, how will you run your shop?

Player Comments

• One player says this is among the best games on the site, praising the graphics, animations, and audio/sound quality. They note they miss some sounds from the heroine during certain moments, but overall they feel the game is strong. The biggest complaint is not enough content: it feels like a demo. They mention reaching 50+ reputation and 100+ lewdness, but after around 30 lewd and 15 reputation, nothing changed. They also feel progression may be too fast and would prefer corruption progression to be more difficult, plus they suspect a lewdness counter bug after brewing work. Despite issues, they believe the game has strong potential and that they love it.
• Another comment highlights possible logic bugs in the story, possibly triggered by leveling abilities too quickly. They also mention that pathfinding can feel a bit strange when playing with a mouse. Visually, they say the game looks great, but it may take time to get used to Hermione’s visuals compared to how she appears in other games.
