Plot
Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is a mobile app that transforms the real world into a magical one through AR technology. The game gives everyday locations and areas a touch of magic. Points of interest become strongholds. Greenhouses and other buildings seen throughout the Harry Potter series are in the game.
Users can also encounter mythical creatures and familiar faces from the Wizarding World. Players can unlock spells, brew potions, and visit famous locations from the franchise. Locations include Dumbledore's Office and Hagrid's Hut.
The Harry Potter game had all the ingredients for success. Apparently, the game failed to capture audiences as well as Pokemon GO.
