Is “Harry Potter Go” A Possibility?

YouTube

The smartphone app “Pokemon Go” has been swarming the masses this summer, but what if it were aimed at fans of a different popular series?

Harry Potterfans just may be getting their own version of “Pokemon Go.”

According to gamenguide.com, Harry Potter Go was "conceptualized by a fan and was released to Stargaze Media".

Rather than hunting Pokemon, you could be using a wand to hunt fantastic magical beasts and collect famous witch and wizard cards.

“Accio Harry Potter Go…”, a petition for the app, is nearing their 55 thousand supporter goal. Gamenguide talks with the creator of the petition, Ashtyn Hannon, a 23-year-old Potterhead. Hannon has not played “Pokemon Go” but would quickly consider a Harry Potter version.

Hannon updated the petition with Stargaze Media's "Harry Potter Go" trailer about two weeks ago.

Not only is Pokemon back, but the Harry Potter series is back for a new generation.

J.K. Rowling released the newest book in the Harry Potter series, “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” almost a month ago. It is the eighth story set nineteen years later and is the script to a play currently being performed to crowds of Potterheads in London. “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” shares the story of Harry Potter and his son Albus as he struggles to follow in his famous father’s footsteps.

The Wizarding World is also getting a new addition without the Potter family with the film “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”. Rowling will share the story of writer Newt Scamander in New York's secret community of witches and wizards seventy years before Harry Potter reads his book in school. “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” will be in theaters November 18^th.

These brands have made their impact on older generations and now younger kids have the same opportunity. “Pokemon Go” has swept the nation from baby boomers to young children roaming around capturing Pokemon of all kinds.

Potterheads could get that same chance in the future, an entire wizarding world within their smartphone.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
