Harry Potter games have been a pretty common occurrence over the years, as companies seek to make the most of the immensely popular series about the boy wizard and his time at magical school Hogwarts.
Though the quality has varied enormously, between the early movie tie-ins, the officially licensed LEGO games and Hogwarts Legacy, fans of the franchise have eaten pretty well over the years.
Alongside dedicated games, the characters and locations from the series have appeared in other, usually live-service games that add to their existing offerings with some additional wizarding magic.
The latest to go down that path is actually technically one of the most popular games on the planet, and they have a pretty big collaboration with Potter and his pals later this month.

This dream collab has been brewing in the cauldron for a while, and now, it’s time to let the magic unfold!"
The headline news is that it comes with a new Sticker Book with 23 magical Sets that are designed to celebrate the heroes, wizards, muggles, creatures, and artifacts of the wizarding world.
There are also a ton of themed minigames that fit within the wider scope of the base game, all with a Harry Potter aesthetic. The first are the Quidditch, Hogwarts and Gringotts Racers events, in which you'll compete to outfly and outrun other teams in the hope of winning unique prizes.
This collaboration follows recent leaks that suggest Harry Potter is also set to team up with Fortnite as part of Winterfest this year, possibly as Warner Bros. attempts to ramp up hype ahead of the HBO series.
