PowerA is bringing the Wizarding World into everyday gaming with a new collection of wizard-themed gaming accessories created through its multi-year licensing partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products. The lineup includes a Nintendo Switch 2 Advantage Wireless Controller and protection cases inspired by the four Hogwarts houses, alongside Xbox controllers featuring Chibi-style characters and Quidditch-inspired details. Available as of September 15, 2026, the collection combines functional gaming hardware with recognizable elements from the Harry Potter films.
For PowerA, the partnership expands its portfolio of officially licensed accessories while tapping into an established global fandom. House-specific designs also introduce an element of personalization, allowing consumers to choose products connected to their individual affiliations. The collection demonstrates how gaming accessory companies can use entertainment licensing to differentiate standard hardware, encourage collectible purchases and connect gaming setups with broader expressions of fandom.
