The best games to play while you wait for Harry Potter: Wizards Unite

Some of the biggest news in the mobile space last week was the announcement of Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, a new AR game from Niantic set in the world of Harry Potter. In this upcoming game, players will be able to battle monstrous beasts and dark wizards in their own home towns with the help of other wizards in their community.

It's certainly an exciting prospect, but the game seems to still be in the early stages of development, so we'll have to wait a bit longer before we can get our hands on Wizards Unite. In the meantime, why not distract yourself with these three magical mobile games?  Magic Touch: Wizard for Hire
