Realme, the popular sub-brand of Oppo's, is now entering the magical world of Harry Potter with a very special phone, the Realme 16 Pro Harry Potter Edition.
This one isn't official yet, as it is supposed to be unveiled on September 21, Monday. But we have an official first look at it and—spoiler alert—it looks pretty amazing.
A must for Harry Potter fans

The Realme 16 Pro Harry Potter Edition is a stunning collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products. The company has done something similar before with the Realme 15 Pro Game of Thrones Limited Edition from last year, but now, we're in J.K. Rowling's world of wizardry.
It's not just the phone itself though, there's also a Hogwarts-themed limited-edition gifting box by Realme for that magical back-to-school experience.
The Realme 16 Pro Harry Potter Edition incorporates iconic Hogwarts elements in its design. The unique brown finish includes a premium leather texture with an argyle pattern. This isn't a coincidence; it's an homage to the Wizard's Chess scene.
At the center of the back panel, users will find the famous Hogwarts crest. For its camera island, this limited edition handset borrows design ideas from the Realme 16 Pro's and builds on them with the Metal Mirror Camera Deco.

The Harry Potter phone's camera island is made to resemble the face of Hedwig the owl, which is a minor, but really clever touch. Furthermore, there's a "Welcome to Hogwarts" slogan that's laser-engraved on the metallic mid-frame.

The Hogwarts-themed Limited Edition Gifting Box

If you're among the biggest Harry Potter fans out there, you'd want the Hogwarts-themed Limited Edition Gifting Box. But you better not think about it too much, since it's available in just 5,000 units worldwide.
This fancy box represents an exact replica of Harry Potter's iconic trunk. In it, there's the Hogwarts Welcome Pack, which contains a complete set of customized merchandise. These include a Hogwarts acceptance letter and a train ticket (another clever nod).
There are also bookmarks featuring the Hogwarts symbol, character postcards (with Harry, Hermione and Ron stepping into Hogwarts). Finally, there's a phone case embossed with the Hogwarts logo and a phone pin.
A perfect gift
Harry Potter fans need no further convincing, as the upcoming Realme 16 Pro Harry Potter Edition (again: it's expected to be unveiled on September 21, Monday) looks pretty amazing.
The phone, however—and especially when paired with the box—is a great choice for parents who have a young Harry Potter fan at home.
