Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling, is behind the the first book to launch for Wonderbook, a title called Book of Spells. Complete with new content written by Rowling, the book allows you to learn "spells" and interact with your television through the PlayStation Move, using your controller as a wand.

Each chapter in the book teaches a essential skill needed to become a wizard. As you unlock each level, the game will tell you a story about a Hogwarts student who didn't live up to expectations.

“Wonderbook Book of Spells is the closest a Muggle can come to a real spellbook,” Rowling said in a statement displayed during Sony's E3 press conference. “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.”
