On Tuesday, the [company announced](https://blog.google/topics/entertainment/ok-google-cast-your-spell/ "undefined") three new “spells” for its Android devices. The spells—_Lumos_, _Nox,_ and _Silencio—_are part of the new apps and features Google has created to go hand-in-hand with the new Warner Bros. film _Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,_ the prequel to the _Harry Potter_ series. All users have to do is talk to Android’s voice activated assistant and say “Okay Google, Lumos” to turn on the phone’s flashlight, and “Okay Google, Nox” to turn it off. You can also say “Okay Google, Silencio” to turn off the phone’s volume. Users can also explore the fictional world of _Fantastic_ _Beasts,_ set in 1926 New York, via Google’s four [new sites in Street View](https://www.google.com/maps/search/fantastic+beasts/@40.728436,-74.0165741,14z/data=!3m1!4b1 "undefined"). Popular places from the film to virtually visit are: MACUSA (Magical Congress of the USA), the underground speakeasy The Blind Pig; and the magical apartment of Tina and Queenie Goldstein, who are two of the film’s key characters. Google also announced that YouTube creators are going to feature _Fantastic Beasts_\-related content, too. _Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them_ opens in theaters Nov. 18. _This_ [_article_](http://fortune.com/2016/11/02/android-harry-potter-spells/ "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_Fortune.com_](http://www.fortune.com "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4554871/harry-potter-spells-android/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4554871/harry-potter-spells-android/"},"headline":"Now You Can Finally Do Magic With a Harry Potter Spell-Casting Phone","datePublished":"2016-11-02T15:56:10.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:38:18.511Z","description":"So even Muggles can experience some magic","url":"https://time.com/4554871/harry-potter-spells-android/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Tech","Technology","apps"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9153f8275cb98714/6988acaa8e0601f96746817f/harry-potter-spells-android-fantastic-beasts.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Madeline Farber / Fortune"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9153f8275cb98714/6988acaa8e0601f96746817f/harry-potter-spells-android-fantastic-beasts.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Harry Potter Diagon Alley At Universal Orlando","caption":"General view of Hogwarts Castle at Wizarding World of Harry Potter Diagon Alley at Universal Orlando on October 24, 2016 in Orlando, Florida.","creditText":"Scott Legato/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4554871/harry-potter-spells-android/","name":"Now You Can Finally Do Magic With a Harry Potter Spell-Casting Phone"}}]}] ```
