Harvey’s Regular Schedule For Every Season
Each villager inStardew Valleyhas their own regular schedule depending on the day and the season, as well as the weather during each day. Harvey is no different, and while checking in the medical clinic for him might seem like a safe bet, that isn’t always the case.
Harvey also has specific parts of his schedule that might be helpful forplayers to memorize. For instance, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Harvey will be with patients for a checkup. On rainy days, Harvey will leave the front of the clinic and walk upstairs to his room at 12pm, even if there are still patients in the clinic. If the player doesn’t have enough heart points, don’t worry - he can also be found later that evening at the Stardrop Saloon.

Movie Theater: Harvey’s Favorites
In 1.4, the Movie Theater wasintroduced to Stardew Valley. This allows players to take a villager to see a movie with them, as well as giving the opportunity to buy concessions they might like for a big boost in friendship. To invite Harvey to a movie, the player must first buy a ticket for 1,000g - then, all they have to do is give it to Harvey in the same manner they’d give a regular gift. Then, the player should head over to the Movie Theater located at the Joja building in the east of town on the same day they gave Harvey the ticket.
Harvey hasdifferent preferenceswhen it comes to his preferred screenings and snacks. Loved and liked movies and concessions will give the player a lot of heart points with him, whereas disliked movies and concessions will lessen heart points.

What Happens After Marrying Harvey?
After the player marries Harvey, he will move into their farmhouse and live alongside them. He will add another small room to the right side of the farmhouse, as well as a small garden areabehind the farmhousewhere he can occasionally be found reading. After moving in, Harvey will sometimes give the player gifts; on mornings, he may give the player a Complete Breakfast, and on rainy nights, he may offer Carp Surprise, Crispy Bass, Fried Eel, Salmon Dinner, or Vegetable Medley.
Harvey will continue working at the Clinic in the town after marrying the player, though his schedule will change slightly outside of that. He travels to town on Tuesdays and Thursdays for work, but he can be found at the player’s farmhouse often.
