PlayStation Wonderbook™ – Book of Spells {Giveaway}


Just in time for Christmas I have a very special giveaway - 

PS3 12GB - AUD$299.95
Wonderbook Move Bundle - AUS$99.95 RRP


Wonderbook is the latest innovation from Sony Entertainment's Playstation experience.

Book of Spells  for PS3™ is the first title for Wonderbook. Master 20 spells from the world of Harry Potter™



We were invited to see Wonderbook first hand 2 months ago.Though my boys mostly watched other children playing, they could see themselves in the 'story' too. It was magical indeed as you step right into the augmented reality world.

They loved having a play with the magic wand but are perhaps too young to play this title alone. I
admit as a Harry Potter reader I was intrigued. JK Rowling has even written new original content.

Interactive reading, dueling, spell casting or the Pensieve...you decide !

Bring wizardry to life in your living room with Wonderbook™: Book of Spells for PS3™



[The press release explains it more precisely than I can ...]

Book of Spells comes to life as you read, allowing you to cast spells with your PlayStation®Move Motion Controller which becomes your own magic wand.

Wonderbook™ is the latest way to inspire children’s imaginations and give them a whole new way to interact with stories old and new. Bringing the tales to life, right in their hands, the Wonderbook is the newest evolution in storytelling, taking children of all ages into new worlds of adventure and excitement.

Just like a student at Hogwarts - embark on a fantastic journey to read and learn the secrets of wizardry and the art of spell-casting.

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.




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.

J.K. Rowling has written a conundrum to lead 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.

Wonderbook puts you at the heart of the action using augmented reality technology via PlayStation®Eye to transform the world around you.

In the works are new titles including Walking with Dinosaurs from the BBC, an exciting partnership with Disney and a quirky new detective title, Diggs Nightcrawler.

Wonderbook looks set for a great future as a powerful storytelling vehicle and tool for the imagination.

I would love the power of time travel! I hate planes but if I could nod my head and be in other places, I'd see a lot more of the world :)
My recent post Christmas Cheer Anyone?
I shared on Facebook so here is my second entry...I'd love the power to predict the future...perhaps pick the winning Lotto numbers hehe ;)

I'd love to have the ability to magically appear on an empty plate whatever food it is that my fussy children, husband (and self!) feel like at that time! Never having to cook dinner again - unless I wanted to... Priceless!

Oh, and I'd love to wave my magic hand and make a never ending packet of Tim Tams! You know, just like the
genie on the ad? Only, I'm a woman of course, not a genie. Also, sadly at this time, not in possession of any magic Tim Tam packets :(
Also, I shared the giveaway on FB.
I would love the ability to apparate/disapparate/teleport. Imagine how much easier it would be to take the kids to school, or do the grocery shopping, or visit friends who live far away!

This is my son's *dream* Christmas gift from Santa!
Oh, my creative mind is sparking and popping with the possibilities of what I could magic up, if only I had the ability! I think I'd like to wave my magic wand and create my own personal invisible head to toe umbrella, which I would magically be able to extend as required. That way, we could walk to school happily even in pouring rain, yet the rain would still fall and create its very own magic by nurturing the earth.

I would love a potion that helps my kids be a little more ... cooperative.
No more arguments at bed time, dinner time or whilst getting ready for kindy. Ahhh, to give an instruction and have it followed with a smile - that's every Mums dream right?
I cant' seem to log on so I'm going as guest...
If I were a Hogwart's student I would create a spell to make a double of myself. The double would do all my daily duties (get kids organised, go to work, cook, clean etc), whilst the real me gets to do some things I don't normally get a chance to do (drink a HOT coffee, read a book, get a massage etc)
I've shared on FB (Bec Sherman).
My 2nd spell would be to create a special dust that makes any food low in calories, but adds in nutrients and takes away the nasty ingredients. So kids feel like ice-cream for breakfast - not a problem, sprinkle on some dust and they have healthy ice-cream. With this dust any food is a complete, healthy meal!
We can get man to walk on the moon BUT can't get him to put the toilet seat down - An Aim and Close spell would be the first one I'd try and cast.
I desire a spell that casts permanent nuisance/noisy neighbours to their own eternal hell.
I'd love the magical ability to control the four elements, especially wind. This way, the next time hubby passes gas, loudly and in my direction, boom - I'd shoot it with a thud right back where it came from!! Haha, do you think he'd learn his lesson!?!
I would love to be able to either cast a spell or have the ability to freeze all living creatures. Time keeps ticking, but bodies remain motionless, frozen to the spot, not seeing or hearing a thing. It would be great for a million reasons, especially the prank factor. The tricks I could & would play would be amazing.

I would want the ability to time travel, but with it would come many responsibilities...isn't that why Hermione was loathe to change any events when she was given that ability herself? I'd love to be able to go back in time and tell my Dad to get that colonoscopy long before he was diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer...I want to go further back and warn of all the horrible atrocities like 9/11 and the Bali bombings...further back still and warn Elvis, Marilyn, James Dean and the Kennedy brothers about the fates that will befall them if they don't change things... Then again, would anyone listen to or believe me anyway? And knowing what is set to happen could be a dreadful burden...Sorry if I'm getting a bit too deep, here...!

I'd like to be able to fly, too. In my dreams, I soar high above the clouds, waving at everybody, and they are all surprised that little old me can do something so special...! I have had that dream forever and I always wake up feeling wonderful afterwards! I have shared this post on FB and Twitter.
I'd love the ability to tame and ride a dragon, flying with Hedwig high over Hogwarts... if I could manage that who knows what I could do with my mother-in-law - best not drop her!

Wouldn't it be wonderful to create a spell that made people see everything from others perspective. It would solve every world issue there it.
I would have invent the "calmalosia" spell, it would allow me to point my wand and stop all arguments, disagreements and annoying people straight away, not only that, but the calming effects would last for the next seven days! Any argument tgat would last longer then that would be beyond even my powers!!
A spell to teleport me from place to place within seconds. That way I can go to Paris for brunch and New York for dinner and a show!
I'm my life right now I need a "preventus-effluentus" spell. It has the power to stop people sprouting shite & the may only speak the truth!
My recent post A NéeSayer’s Guide to buying for baby
I asked Mr 17 to answer & he said he would like the power of telekinesis - the ability to move things with the mind. He might move his little brother to another universe!
I want the spell that can be cast over the children that refuse to eat or sleep when asked! This would make my life much easier and make my neighbours much happier too.
I'd like to create a potion for happiness and peace. I'd hop on my broom or on the back of a Hippogriff and sprinkle it all over the world.
