How to play Harry Potter: Wizards Unite
In Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, players will be playing a new recruit within the Statute of Secrecy Task Force to help ‘solve a mystery.’
Interestingly, players can find artefacts, cast spells and also interact with characters from the Potter films and its prequel movie series ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’, the games developers have said.
From Sorting Hat to Buckbeak to Harry Potter himself or Newt Scamander, players will get to see all their favourite characters and artefacts, Jonathan Knight, studio head of Warner Bros. Games San Francisco said.
But not just old favourites, it is a new story that unfurls within the game. One can also collect potion ingredients and brew potions to be a better wizard.
