Realme has partnered with Warner Bros. to release a special edition of the Realme 16 Pro 5G, themed around the Harry Potter franchise. The phone, which went on sale in India in 2026, reportedly sold out within 24 hours of its release.

A Wizarding World Experience

The Realme 16 Pro Harry Potter Edition distinguishes itself through a series of cosmetic and software changes designed to immerse fans in the wizarding world. These enhancements come at a premium, with the device priced at Rs 62,999.

What’s in the Box?

The unboxing experience is a key part of the appeal. The phone comes with Hogwarts-inspired packaging, including a leather-style case with a brownish finish, a charger, and charging cables. Buyers also receive Hogwarts house bookmarks – Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Gryffindor – and a case featuring the “Hogwarts” inscription and a golden railing finish.

Software Sorcery

The Realme 16 Pro Harry Potter Edition runs Android 16 with Realme UI 7.0, heavily customised with Harry Potter-themed elements. This includes a bespoke logo, Hogwarts-inspired wallpapers, and custom widgets. Charging animations have also been given a magical makeover, with an ‘Incendio’ effect and themed battery graphics.

The Sorting Hat Setup

Perhaps the most unique feature is the interactive setup process. Mimicking the Sorting Hat from the books, the phone asks a series of questions to determine which of the four Hogwarts houses – Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff – the user belongs to. Users can change their assigned house later if desired.

Under the Hood

Despite the cosmetic changes, the core specifications of the Realme 16 Pro 5G Harry Potter Edition remain identical to the standard model. Key specs include:
