Today I was able to review the brand new Scene It? Harry Potter app which was released in iTunes today!

Screenlife and Warner Brothers Interactive invite you to test your wizarding wits with Scene It? Harry Potter on the iPhone and iPad. This app is overflowing with movie clips, trivia questions and on-screen puzzles.

Brush up on your Harry Potter trivia and experience a spellbinding voyage that lets you relive your favorite moments from the first six films. Before you can say, “Expecto Patronum,” the magic, fun and excitement of this legendary saga will captivate you and everyone who plays. Scene It? Harry Potter is the ultimate companion app for aspiring wizards.

Scene It? Harry Potter features include:
•       30 distinct quiz sets with 16 puzzle types that provide hours of challenging trivia, puzzles and mini-games
•       Dozens of video clips, images and audio clips pulled directly from the Harry Potter films
•       An engaging, fast-paced single-player mode
•       Head to Head Multiplayer via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth (uses multiple devices)
•       Table Play Multiplayer (uses a single device)

Luckily my brother has an iPod touch so I was able to play the game, and it does not disappoint.  I think in some ways this is better than the DVD version of Scene It? Harry Potter because you can play it alone by doing challenges. When you finish challenges as a single player you can Tweet or share your results on Facebook (or do nothing).    You can also do a Pass and Play version where you pass around the device and need to beat the timer or you are eliminated.  Finally you can play with other people who have the app by using wifi or bluetooth in the Multiplayer version. The only little problem I had was on the unscrambling letters games it was hard to drag the letter to the right spot, but that is probably because I’m not used to using an iPod Touch all the time. All in all I give the game an A+! And at only $1.99 the game is a total steal!

Some screencaps from the game can be seen below:
