With the surge of popularity of "Fantastic Beasts" movie, will Niantic finally give in and develop the much-talked about "Harry Potter Go?" The game concept all started with a fan-made video showing the possible flow and game play of "Harry Potter Go."
The viewers fell in love with the concept of "Harry Potter Go" instantly and clamored for a real version of the game. The clamor for "Harry Potter Go" began only a few months after "Pokemon Go" was released, so it was understandable for Niantic not to give in to the clamors of the Potterheads.
However, now that "Pokemon Go" has already established itself in the ranks of the most popular and most-played games in the industry, is it time for Niantic to create another augmented-reality mobile game - "Harry Potter Go?" As a new year is about to embark, fans are hoping for a new augmented-reality mobile game to be released.
