Today we've got a sneak peek of the first in what we hope is a long line of Wizarding World of Harry Potter LEGO sets through the next few years. This is Hogwarts, a set that's sort of a remake of a set released by LEGO a few years ago. Back when the "Hogwarts Castle" set was made, they went for the full deal, mashing the entire castle into 1290 pieces. This time they've begun creating the castle piece by piece, starting with the Great Hall in 878 pieces.
Dust off those robes and start exercising your flinging arm. The newest mobile game out of the magical world of Harry Potter is now out. At least on Android and at least in some markets. Or if you know where to get a copy in Diagon Alley. Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery has soft launched on Android in some markets, giving fans of the franchise a chance to live out their fantasies as a witch or wizard in training. But like anything related to magic, looks can be deceiving.
With the focus on superheroes and sci-fi films in general, you’d think that good old-fashioned fantasy franchises are passe. Warner Bros. definitely doesn’t think so. In fact, it just created a new label named Portkey Games solely dedicated to one of the most beloved magical franchises of all: Harry Potter. On the heels of the AR-based Harry Potter Wizards Unite, Warner Bros. teamed up with mobile game developers Jam City to bring Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery that will finally let you live out your fantasies as a wizard of your own making.

This week we're having a deeper look at what Harry Potter: Wizards Unite will bring to the world of AR GPS-based gaming. This means working on what Ingress and Pokemon GO have done, bringing HP: Wizards Unite up to speed to do as well or better than its predecessors. Where will Harry Potter: Wizards Unite do well where Ingress and/or Pokemon GO have failed?
This afternoon Niantic confirmed the existence of their next augmented reality GPS map-based game: Harry Potter : Wizards Unite. This will be the first global-level game for the Harry Potter phenomenon / entertainment mega-force, and it'll likely pop up in as big a way as Pokemon GO. This game will rely on the Ingress ecosystem, just as Pokemon GO did and does.

The folks at Niantic are apparently preparing a new Augmented Reality game for the public. This next game is said to ring in the new year with none other than global phenomenon Harry Potter - in a game that's not entirely unlike Ingress or Pokemon GO.

This year is going to be a big one for author J.K. Rowling - not only because she's bringing an epic 20th Anniversary Harry potter exhibit to the world. This first exhibit will take place at the British Library - but we're crossing our fingers that it'll eventually make a world tour, what with all its history of magic and whatnot. But that's not all - J.K Rowling will also be releasing two new "Harry Potter" books to compliment the original seven.
