#ItAllEnds. That Twitter hashtag has been trending all day, along with about a dozen other Harry Potter related terms. Since this morning, I’ve seen Neville Longbottom, Mischief Managed, Severus Snape, Albus Severus Potter, and most all of the Weasley clan trending at some point. Harry Potter is a global sensation and has been for nearly a decade. That’s not going to end just because the final film has been released.
So for all of you who want to stay immersed in the Harry Potter world, a new iPad app attempts to make that possible.
From ScrollMotion, the Harry Potter Film Wizardry app is said to be “written and designed in close collaboration with the cast and crew that brought J.K. Rowling’s celebrated novels to the silver screen.” The app is about 1 Gig and will run you $12.99. Here are some of the features as described on its iTunes page –
