Still waiting for your Hogwarts acceptance letter? While your owl may have gotten lost along the way, realme has something that might make the wait a little easier. The realme 16 Pro 5G Harry Potter Edition brings a little piece of the Wizarding World into your everyday life, complete with Hogwarts house details, familiar faces, and collectibles that will make any Potterhead feel right at home.
This edition comes in a Magic Brown finish, featuring an Enchanted Texture Leather back with a three-dimensional diamond pattern inspired by the wizard chessboard. But the real magic happens at the center, where the Hogwarts Four-House Crest reveals the colors of Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff when exposed to sunlight or UV light. This clever color-changing effect is made possible by realme’s Quadra Light-Sensing Color-changing Tech.
Of course, no Hogwarts-inspired phone would be complete without a familiar companion. A gold Hedwig-inspired camera design frames the lenses, while matching gold accents run along the edges. Look closely, and you’ll also find “Welcome to Hogwarts” laser-engraved on the side.
The magic doesn’t stop at the back cover. Turn on the display, and you’ll find exclusive wallpapers featuring Hogwarts Castle in two settings: Golden Dawn for daytime and Mystic Dusk for nighttime.
Even unlocking your phone feels like receiving your Hogwarts acceptance letter, thanks to themed boot-up and fingerprint animations. More than 30 redesigned app icons complete the makeover, while photo watermarks inspired by the four Hogwarts houses let you show off your house pride.
Remember the excitement of getting your Hogwarts letter? The unboxing experience might come pretty close. The limited-edition packaging is designed as a Hogwarts trunk, complete with the school crest and the phone’s name on the lid.
Inside are plenty of keepsakes to discover: an acceptance letter addressed to Mr. Potter, postcards featuring Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and bookmarks representing all four houses. You’ll also find Hogwarts Crest pins and a Hogwarts Express-inspired ticket marked with the iconic route from London to Hogwarts via Platform 9¾.
