realme has officially launched the realme 16 Pro 5G Harry Potter Edition in India today, as it had announced, expanding its lineup of franchise collaborations following the realme 15 Pro Game of Thrones Limited Edition.
Created in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, the co-branded smartphone pairs themed exterior styling with the standard model’s core hardware.
Themed Design & Collector’s Trunk
The special edition incorporates several visual motifs from the Harry Potter franchise:
- Light-Sensing Color-Changing Finish: The rear panel features an enchanted brown textured leather with a Wizard’s Chess–inspired Argyle pattern, integrated with realme’s “Quadra Light-Sensing Color-Changing Tech”.
- Hogwarts Crest & Camera Deco: The back centers an embossed Hogwarts crest, while the metallic camera housing—styled as a “Metal Mirror Camera Deco”—is designed to resemble Hedwig the owl.
- Engraved Mid-Frame: The metallic frame features laser-engraved “Welcome to Hogwarts” detailing.
-
Software Experience: The phone runs custom UI themes featuring franchise-specific lock screens, app icon packs, wallpapers, and dedicated camera filter presets.
The smartphone comes packed in a collector’s gifting box modeled as a 1:1 replica of Harry Potter’s Hogwarts school trunk, limited to 5,000 units worldwide. Inside, the bundle contains:
- A replica Hogwarts acceptance letter
- A Platform 9¾ train ticket
- Hogwarts Four Houses crest bookmarks
- Collectible character postcards
