"Harry Potter: Wizards Unite," a new mobile augmented reality game from the creators of "Pokmon Go," is coming to Android and iOS devices on Friday June 21.

Niantic announced that it was partnering with WB Games to work on "Harry Potter: Wizards Unite" in November 2017. The game is Niantic's follow-up to "Pokmon Go," which became a global phenomenon when it launched back in July 2016.

In "Harry Potter: Wizards Unite," players will be able to explore the real world, searching for signs of magic and encountering iconic Harry Potter characters along the way, much like "Pokmon Go." Players will take on the role of a new wizard recruit working with the Statute of Secrecy Task Force the group responsible for solving the mystery of the Calamity, a major event that scattered magical artifacts and creatures all over the world.
