The game offers two modes of play: single player and multiplayer. The single player lacks any JK Rowling-inspired plot, instead merely allowing you to practice your spell-casting to increase your accuracy score.
If you happen to be hanging out with another iPhone-wielding, Harry Potter-loving friend, you can use Bluetooth to duel each other.
Or you can hop online with Wi-Fi and duel other players around the world...
The initial game setup takes you straight into Harry’s world. First you receive an acceptance letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, signed by headmistress Minerva McGonagall.
Once accepted, you receive a wand, just like Harry did: wands are presented to you, and you tap each until the game decides which one is right for you. Next, it’s onto the famous sorting hat, where you are placed in your residence house (Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, and so on.)
From there, things start to get confusing. You can learn up to 14 spells, starting with Alohomora and culminating in the all-powerful Confringo. In order to cast a spell, you hold down your thumb on the screen, then wave the iPhone through the air like a wand to draw the pattern on the screen.
These patterns can be as simple as a straight left-to-right arrow or as complicated as a Z shape. You can also record your own voice calling out the spell, which will play back to you with each successful cast.
I gave up at spell No. 6, Expecto Patronum, a seemingly impossible triangle. However, a more dedicated fan might have the patience to perfect his or her technique
