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 5G Harry Potter Edition differentiates itself through a series of cosmetic and software changes designed to immerse fans in the wizarding world. The phone ships with unique, Hogwarts-inspired packaging, including a leather-style case, a set of house-themed bookmarks representing Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Gryffindor, and themed charging accessories.
Software Sorted
Beyond the physical changes, the Realme 16 Pro 5G Harry Potter Edition features a heavily customised software experience. The phone runs Android 16 with Realme UI 7.0, incorporating Harry Potter-inspired logos, wallpapers, and widgets.
