It might come as a surprise, but iPhone users can cast a magical Harry Potter spell using the voice assistant Siri. Harry Potter is perhaps the only wizard who is popular both in the Wizarding World and among muggles. After all, he is the “boy who lived.” Most recently, Harry Potters fans were delighted upon the release of Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return To Hogwarts where the cast came together to celebrate two decades of magic and charm. The first Harry Potter movie was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, which debuted in 2001. Since then, the franchise has been immensely successful and popular around the world.

Interestingly, the Harry Potter series is older than the iPhone itself, as the first iPhone was launched by Apple in 2007. Back then, Apple launched it is as a device that can access the internet, read emails, and connect a voice call, all in a single device. Year after year, the Cupertino-based company improved its user interface and hardware. An integral part of the iPhone experience, Siri was launched by Apple in 2011 as a voice-activated run-engine that could perform tasks on an iPhone. Fast forward to the year 2022 and the latest generation of iPhone can be controlled using voice commands, without the need of activating Siri in the first place.

After the launch of the Harry Potter reunion show worldwide, users came across a magical spell hidden in their iPhones. Apparently, upon activating Siri on an iPhone and saying the magical Harry Potter spell Lumos, the flashlight turns on. However, Lumos is not the only Harry Potter spell that can be cast through an iPhone. After turning on the flashlight, iPhone users can also use the Harry Potter spell Nox to turn it off. Apparently, both the Harry Potter spells are recognized by Siri and users need not set it up. Potterheads are going crazy over the iPhone Siri magical spells as it makes them feel like a wizard. Additionally, users can set their own iPhone Siri magical spells by using the Voice Control feature on the iPhone.

How to set up custom Harry Potter spells on an iPhone?

To setup up custom Harry Potter voice commands, head over to the Settings menu on an iPhone and scroll down to locate and open Accessibility. Therein, tap on Customize Commands located in the Voice Control menu. Here is where users can create customized Harry Potter commands by going to the Create New Command section and entering a Harry Potter spell as the command phrase. Thereafter, users can set a relevant action that they want to be done when they activate the command. For instance, creating a command with Reducio as the title that lowers the media volume on an iPhone will be cool. Similarly, creating a command with the Harry Potter spell Accio can be linked to Apple’s Find My app used to locate the linked devices.

The Voice Control functionality on an iPhone can actually be used for several other tasks, including entering an address on a text field, unlocking the iPhone, opening the camera, and more. Using the same, Harry Potter fans can enjoy casting spells on the iPhone and can create their own spells as well. To use the Voice Controls, users will not have to wake up Siri every time they give a command. However, for the Voice Control feature to work, it constantly uses the microphone on the device. Nevertheless, Harry Potter fans can enjoy using magical spells on their iPhones with both Siri and Voice Control.
