Sounds like a good family event! (and a way to get people active especially in Indiana)!

Wasn't there a leak of an actual Harry Potter universe game a while ago? Whatever happened with that?

Since when does something like this not launch originally in the states? There's no download for this region locked pos. Until it gets here lets all pretend it doesn't even exist.

WTF you talkin bout? It's been out in the states for over a week. It's boring as hell so all 4 people who go to this will love each other. Avg rating I've seen is sitting somewhere 6/10 with a crap ton of data usage and battery usage to boot. It's ok.. but if it takes place in the post-movie I can't understand why I'm seeing the likes of Tonks and Snape in my game... it doesn't make sense.

Download the full assets and the data usage drops to near nothing. I was out for several hours one day and used 10MB of data. If you do not download the assets the game loads everything from the server.

Only issue I have with it is just like Pokemon Go there is nothing spawning in rural areas.

Yep. There is an MMO in development. Not much info on it though.

The supported devices are so few. Mostly the high-end, brand new devices. So devices a generation or two old are not currently supported. Like for LG there is literally only one device supported.

If you go make sure you take part in the quest for a Harry Potter PC MMORPG, if you win us one that would be wizard!

go figure i'd have to be using the latest and greatest to play a simple harry poopy pissy potter game. geez. forced consumerism at its finest right there. it is easy enough to just say no ty and wait for the next cool sounding augmented reality game to come along. an augmented MTG game would be frickin sweet tho just sayin

I started to play this game as I love the HP universe, but the game lacks meaning and does not fit the AR gameplay. Tried to hard to create a new pokemon go hype and the game has suffered for it xD

I played this the  other day and the first thing i find is that fat guy in my Bathroom of all places

Why the heck do you care what device it is on if you hate the game so much? The internet at its finest ladies and gentlemen. How about waiting until your MTG game comes out then complain about the supported devices.

J. K. Rowling is really trying to milk the franchise, there's this, and that new ride at Orlando. She's a one-trick pony.

Maybe, but it was a hell of a trick.

She has done some other work, which was well received but not as great as HP. She does work under the series shadow. GRR Martin had already done a lot of work before aSoIaF came out, she had done nothing I think. Not sure how much she was involved in the writing of the subsequent films, I did not think they were up to the HP series at all.

I'm pretty sure that's a Horcrux.

If we can only get a Harry Potter PC MMORPG by allowing the Dark Lord to return, then so be it.
