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.
