If you're a keen Pokémon GO player, you may well be excited for Niantic's next release, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. Just like Pokémon GO, this new app is a real-world AR game, but this time set in the magical world of J. K. Rowling's hugely popular series.
Niantic is giving players the chance to reserve their Pokémon GO nicknames for the new game, and we've got all the steps you need right here:
(1) Go to Niantic's reservation portal.
(2) Click on 'Use my Pokémon GO Trainer Nickname'. You’ll be asked to log in to your Pokémon GO account using Google, Facebook, or Niantic Kids. If you have a Pokémon Trainer Club account, you can link to your Facebook or Google account in order to reserve your Code Name in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. You can also use your Ingress Agent Name.
(3) You’ll be able to reserve your current Pokémon GO Trainer Nickname in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite if it’s available.
Niantic notes that your Trainer Nickname may overlap with someone else's Agent Name in Ingress Prime. In this scenario, reservations will be first come, first served. Also, this isn't an opportunity to select a brand new name just yet - this is for old name reservations only.
Will you be checking out Niantic's Harry Potter game? Or is Pokémon GO keeping you busy enough as it is? Tell us below.

Just don't be surprised when, after you lose interest in playing this game, you get an email saying that your now inactive avatar was actually gay all along.
Nope, about the only reason I'm even playing Pokémon Go is for the Pokémon.
I'm not particularly interested in what else Niantic are doing after the myriad of ongoing technical and gameplay issues Pokémon Go suffers from. I want to see Niantic get humbled so they can sort themselves out.
Like every Niantic games, if you don't live in a city, the game is pointless. That'll be a hard pass for me.
@Rhaoulos Not true - I live in the Isle of Man which has a very small population and most of the places are made of small villages and just a few small towns. There are hundreds of Pokestops / Gyms which were transferred over from Ingress - you can submit new points of interest / portals in the latter which in turn become Pokestops.

Or went to some School you've never heard of.
Or was retconned to having white skin, and then a bit later back to black.
Or was actually the legitimate holder of the Elder Wand.

Like Sikthvash says, the magnificent thing about Pokémon Go was exactly that even if you did go far outside the cities, there were still gyms and stops, because people would mark any old thing as a point of interest.
It was quite fun to follow from the sideline, as someone who never played the game, but had friends and nephews who did.
Will we have to pay money to stop a child being strangled again?
oh right, this is that Harry Potter game they announced two years ago and there's barely been any word since 🤔
@SmaggTheSmug Yup. She's the worst possible person to follow on Twitter. It kinda ruined the books for me a little bit. She's like a child seeking attention, Imo.
@MattFox Hermione is black
@ScorpionMG And Harry potter is actually a transvestite. She was pretending to be a boy so she would be taken seriously.
Thanks for the info @ryancraddock
I wouldn't have known you could do this if it wasn't for the article.
@RodSD64 You're very welcome! 🙂
If Pokemon Go wasn't Pokemon, I would have bailed on the game LONG ago. This game has cause me more frustration than any other, with the constant bugs. The dodge glitch has been in the game since the beginning and still causes problems in raid battles! And as a recent example, they just rolled out the new "Lucky Friends" feature where you are "guaranteed" a Lucky trade with friends who reach this status. Except people are reporting trading their best mons and them not turning Lucky! Every new feature rolls out broken and causes players to waste resources they've been saving up. Not to mention their support always provides incorrect and conflicting information.
We'll have to see if the Harry Potter brand is strong enough for people to put up with the constant issues this game will surely have.
