A motion graphic and design studio called Stargaze Media recently released a clip that reimagines the Pokemon GO game that took the world by storm but replacing its universe with that of J.K. Rowling's enchating Harry Potter universe.
The videomaker adapted elements of the series such as choosing houses, gathering cards, catching fantastic beasts and interacting with other wizards as part of the game, while Elite Daily hinted it might also include fictional meeting points such as Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley, Hogwarts Castle, and the Ministry of Magic.
