Franchise-Inspired Digital Egg-Like Toys

Warners Bro is Launching Harry Potter Tamagotchi Nanos

— May 3, 2023 — Tech
Bandai Namco excites Harry Potter fans as it works in collaboration with Warners Bros to launch the Harry Potter Tamagotchi Nano toy. It allowed fans to interact with creatures from the Harry Potter world in the palm of their hands. The nostalgic toy invites players to feed their magical digital friends and fantastic beasts whilst also caring for them.

Mini-games are also available to play with four to choose from -- Catch Gold, Deliver of Letter, Fly Hippogriff, and Picking a Lock. There are 11 kinds of pets from the 'Wizarding World' that may be stumbled upon depending on how the game is played, but if they are neglected then they may run away. The Nanos are available in two gaming modes -- Harry Potter or Fantastic Beasts.
