According to an announcement on J.K. Rowling's website Pottermore, "Harry Potter: Wizards Unite" will encourage users to "step outside with your phone, explore your local surroundings and take part in a series of adventures, such as searching for magical creatures and bumping into iconic wizarding world characters along the way."
No word yet on an exact release date, but Potter fans have plenty of reasons to feel excited about new updates from the Wizarding World.
