Brandish Your Wand with New iPhone App

Manda — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 05:23:25 +0000

A new application has just become available for the iPhone that allows its users to really dive in and experience the wizarding world of Harry Potter like no other game out there. This application, called “Harry Potter: Spells,” all but turns your phone into one of Ollivander’s quality wands by making creative use of the iPhone’s innovative tilting technology.

Game play is simple enough. To cast a spell, simply move the phone in the direction indicated by the instructive arrows, as though actually brandishing a wand. The spell Expecto Patronum, for example, requires the user to make a swift triangular shape with the iPhone. Single player mode allows for three different difficulty settings, in which you battle computer-generated foes, while multiplayer brings the game to life by dueling in real time with other iPhone users.

This game has much more depth than just that, however. Each spell has a specific category: either healing, defensive, offensive, or non-dueling, and must be used in the correct context. There are additional features that allow users to record their voices performing the spells, as well as extras such as House Cup tournament and Sorting into a Hogwarts House. This game is a must-have for any Harry Potter fanatic, and is available now at the App Store.
