Bernard Kim, Zynga’s president of publishing, suggested it would feature whimsical storylines inspired by the books, along with “iconic moments” and characters from the series. Soft-launched in the Philippines, Puzzles and Spells will presumably be available elsewhere in the next few months, although Zynga’s spokesperson has not said when. Think Candy Crush with wizarding, with match three puzzles that are embellished with potions, spells and other such Potter paraphernalia, and you’ve got the basic idea. Game developer Zynga, known for smartphone hits Merge Dragons!, Words With Friends and FarmVille, has released a Harry Potter-themed puzzle game for mobile devices.
