Following the huge success of Pokemon Go, creators Niantic have confirmed that its next AR game will be based on the wizarding world. That’s right, you can now cast spells and search for magical creatures in your local park (without the threat of being in the Forbidden Forest). If we can’t go to Hogwarts, then living as a witch through our smartphone playing Harry Potter: Wizards Unit e sounds like a pretty incredible compromise.
It launches in 2018, and you can sign up on Harry Potter: Wizards Unite to be the first to know when it releases. Guess we’ve got to re-write our 2018 New Years resolutions, because we’re definitely wiping off anything productive next year (except defeating dark wizards).
Safe to say, we aren’t the only ones who are excited…

I fear that if Harry Potter Pokemon Go becomes a thing… then I am lost and will never be productive ever again in my whole life.

The company that made Pokemon Go is now making a Harry Potter augmented reality game. It’s only a matter of time before we’re all in the streets in our house cloaks waving our phones like wands at each other.

Hogwarts will, indeed, always be there to welcome you home.
