The website dedicated to offering an interactive look at the Harry Potter universe, Pottermore, will be integrated into PlayStation Home in April.
Sony made the announcement on the PlayStation Blog and released a trailer for the experience, which you can check out below.
For those not in the know, Pottermore is a website that allows you to relive the stories from the Harry Potter books while also getting a taste of what it would be like to be a Hogwarts student (albeit in virtual form). Users are divided into houses which they can then earn points for by completing various extracurricular tasks such as potion brewing and wizards' duels.
The real incentive for playing though is that JK Rowling has contributed a fairly large chunk of previously unreleased material to the site, meaning never-before-seen character backstories and explanations can be unlocked by playing through.
The PlayStation Home version looks set to introduce a Book Herding minigame as well as expand upon the existing Wizard's Duel feature, while also allowing you to link your existing Pottermore account to collect new trading cards. Famous locations from the books that'll be appearing include Diagon Alley and the Hogwart's Express.
Are these magical new features enough to tempt you back into PlayStation Home again or does Pottermore hold no interest for you? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
Luke Karmali is IGN's UK Editorial Assistant who often gets compared to Daniel Radcliffe. You too can revel in mediocrity by following him on IGN and on Twitter.
