Expat parents can really engage thier children with exclusive new and original writing from J.K. Rowling in this amazing Sony family friendly game. Wonderbook: Book of Spells comes to life as you read with your kids, allowing them to cast spells with a PlayStation®Move Motion Controller - which as you may guess becomes an amazing magic wand.

Children, and adults, can go on a fantastic journey to read and learn the secrets of wizardry and the art of spell-casting, just like students at Hogwarts!

J.K. Rowling said, “Wonderbook: Book of Spells is the closest a Muggle can come to a real spellbook. I've loved working with Sony’s creative team to bring my spells, and some of the history behind them, to life. This is an extraordinary device that offers a reading experience like no other.”

Andrew House, of Sony Computer Entertainment,  comments, “The partnership between J.K. Rowling and Sony, and in particular , is one I am personally very excited about. We have brought together one of the world’s greatest entertainment brands and the most successful children’s book series in history.”

He continues, “We believe that Wonderbook: Book of Spells represents the next revolution in story-telling and are excited that PlayStation technologies are able to bring even more of the world of Harry Potter to life in exciting new ways.”

Wonderbook: Book of Spells is the first title for Wonderbook, the latest addition to the PlayStation experience. Wonderbook will bring to life a thousand stories in one physical book with a brand new series of adventures and experiences to explore.

A powerful storytelling vehicle and tool for the imagination, Wonderbook will bring exclusive content to PlayStation 3 owners in immersive new ways by putting you at the heart of the action, and using augmented reality technology via PlayStation®Eye to transform the world around gamers. Bringing mystery and discovery to your living room, the titles will draw you into new worlds, and give you the chance to live in the stories you love.

Book of Spells is presented as being written by Miranda Goshawk over two hundred years ago, and can be found in the Restricted Section of the Hogwarts library. It is an advanced textbook for students, which will assist them on their journey to becoming an accomplished witch or wizard.

Wonderbook: Book of Spells provides students with a safe environment in which to read, discover, learn and practise spells they already know and love, such as Incendio, Wingardium Leviosa and Expelliarmus, as well as discover mischievous notes and spells scribbled into the margins by previous Hogwarts students.

In addition to humorous anecdotal facts relating to the spells, J.K. Rowling has written a conundrum that leads you through the experience, providing insight into what makes a successful witch or wizard, and inviting fans to journey through the book and unlock new tales at the end of each chapter rewarding students for their successful spell-casting.

It's a great Easter gift idea that children are sure to learn from and love!
