Argos is selling the Harry Potter 'invisibility cloak lets you disappear from photos and videos

Publish date: 2024-03-05

THE real life Harry Potter Invisibility Cloak is now available from Argos, so Muggles can now disappear too.

It'll set you back £60, and thanks to some (tech) magic, you can now vanish when filmed or photographed through a special app.

All you have to do is download the app, try on the cloak, and there you have it, Mischief Managed.

Whether you use the cloak to help battle He Who Must Not Be Named, or just prank your mates is up to you.

We're expecting the toy to be a huge hit this Christmas, because if you can't go to Hogwarts, or get your wand from Olivander's, this is the next best thing.

Created with the help of Harry Potter maker Warner Brothers, the costume boasts the same pattern as the Boy Who Lived's own cloak.

It essentially works like a movie green screen, blending in with the background whenever you put it on.

Obviously, you're not actually disappearing, and the illusion only works if viewed through an app built by US toy maker Wow Stuff.

"To start enjoying the illusion of invisibility, simply cover yourself, family, friends or even objects with the Invisibility Cloak," the firm writes in its product description.

"View, photograph or film yourself through the app on your phone or tablet, and set your imagination free."

You'll need to scan a unique code on your cloak to link it to the app, which is available on iOS and Android.
