Welcome to Hogwarts: The Malaysia Launch Experience

To bring more fans together for the “Welcome to Hogwarts” celebration, realme is hosting a special pop-up experience at Blue Concourse, Sunway Pyramid from 21–27 September.

In the interactive area, fans can create their own Daily Wizard cover or try on the Sorting Hat using the phone’s customised portrait features, capturing memorable moments from this Harry Potter celebration right here in Malaysia.

Hogwarts Inspired Design That Brings Magic to Life

Inspired by the wizarding world of Harry Potter, the realme 16 Pro Harry Potter Edition introduces a Hogwarts Inspired Design that infuses every detail with iconic Hogwarts elements. The device features a Brown finish with an Argyle leather texture inspired by the Wizard’s Chess scene, bringing the classic aesthetic of the wizarding world to life from the very first look. It also incorporates a distinctive Hedwig-Inspired Camera Deco on the back, and a “Welcome to Hogwarts” slogan laser-engraved on the metallic mid-frame, completing the polished and sophisticated design of the phone.

At the center of the phone’s back, the Hogwarts Four House Crests are subtly featured. The world’s first Quadra Light-Sensing Color-changing Technology has been applied to the crests to create a unique Hogwarts Crest Glow Wonder: under sunlight, the four crests reveal their distinct house colors, evoking the treasured Sorting Moment that every Hogwarts student experiences upon entering the school.

To enrich the wizarding experience, the realme 16 Pro Harry Potter Edition also comes equipped with a suite of exclusive Hogwarts-inspired software features. Iconic Hogwarts elements are incorporated into every aspect of the Exclusive Custom UI, from wallpapers and app icons to animations and GT mode, turning every tap into a pleasant visit to Hogwarts.
