So I have been reading that the makers of PokemonGo are working on a Harry PotterGo app now. What are your thoughts? Success? Or a fail? Discuss.

It certainly appears to be a hoax, as is noticeable by the fact that they cite an interview with a Niantic developer that cannot be confirmed to exist, instead of John Hanke, Niantic's founder, who has conducted all previous interviews. There is no evidence that the IGN interview ever existed, and the source articles for the claim all link back to the same place. Niantic has made no official statements regarding the decision (and an unknown developer certainly wouldn't be allowed to reveal it to an official press source before a reveal was ready), and has stated to be focusing just on releasing the rest of Go.
