Ackerley Town Hall

• Type: Municipal Building
• Location: London, England (video game)
• Owner/Residents: Muggle Government (presumed)
• Key Features: Prominent red-brick architecture, large central clock tower

Ackerley Town Hall is a significant Muggle landmark that appears exclusively in the video game Magic Awakened. It is not mentioned in the original seven novels. The building is depicted as a large, stately structure made of red brick, designed in a classical architectural style. Its most defining feature is a tall, central clock tower that makes it a recognizable landmark. The Town Hall is situated in a plaza and is presented as a well-known location within the game's version of London. As a municipal building, it is presumably under the ownership and administration of the local Muggle government. Its specific history within the game's lore is not detailed.

Ackerley Town Hall has no role in the original *Harry Potter* book series. Its entire significance comes from the video game Magic Awakened, where it serves as a primary hub for player activity. The interior of the town hall has been repurposed by the wizarding community to host the Duelling Club. Players visit this location to participate in practice duels and competitive ranked matches against other players. It functions as one of the main social and gameplay areas outside of Hogwarts.

• The Plaza: The open square in front of the town hall where players often gather.
• Duelling Hall: The main interior space where magical duels are held. It is a large, open hall magically adapted for combat. (video game)

Ackerley Town Hall is a location created specifically for the video game Magic Awakened to provide a dedicated space for its Duelling feature. The name “Ackerley” is very likely a direct reference to a canonical character from the novels: Stewart Ackerley, a Hufflepuff student who was sorted in Harry's fourth year (HP4). It is a common practice in supplementary media to name new places, characters, or items after minor elements from the original books to create a sense of connection and authenticity to the established universe. The choice of a “Town Hall” provides a plausible Muggle location that wizards could secretly use, similar to the Ministry of Magic's use of a telephone box or lavatory for entry.
