'Harry Potter' Is Getting a 'Pokemon Go'-Style Game Next Year ~ amazing movies

Gamers would couldn't get enough of the insanely popular "Pokemon Go" app last year will soon have a new mobile obsession, with the news that the same developers are now taking a crack at the "Harry Potter" franchise.

Tech Crunch reports that a new augmented reality game centered around the Potterverse, called "Harry Potter: Wizards Unite," is in the works from "Go" proprietors Niantic. According to Tech Crunch, "Wizards Unite" is reportedly going to take a lot of influence from an existing Niantic property called "Ingress," a game "which allows players to roam the real world collecting power-ups, defending locations and exploring their environment," and will also likely feature many real-life locations in the game, similar to "Pokemon Go."

There aren't any other details to go on just yet, though "Potter" seems like the perfect property for a game like this, with so many characters, spells, and rich wizarding history to draw from. And just like "Pokemon" devotees, "Harry Potter" fans are a pretty loyal and enthusiastic bunch, and should easily turn "Wizards Unite" into a sensation that matches the frenzy "Go" generated back in 2016.

Now all we have to do is wait for an official release date. "Harry Potter: Wizards Unite" is set to debut sometime in 2018, so prepare to accio 'em all next year.
