Rowling's magical universe.
Players can also create their own wizarding passport which allows them to pick their house, pose for a photo with Potter-esque round-rimmed glasses or a pointy witch's hat and, at higher levels, pick a profession and title. With just a few additional clicks, users can share their passport to their preferred social platform.
