These funny emoticons by Adam Ellis infuse iMessages with a little magic from the Harry Potter universe. The made-up emoji set features expressive icons like Emo Harry, Butterbeer and the Hermione Eyeroll, which could all be put to good use by HP fans.
To demonstrate the uses of the Harry Potter emojis, Eliis created text conversations between people. To really sell the idea of the HP icons, the names of the contacts are written in that iconic lightning bolt font.
Humorous interactions include a drunken pair of friends texting one another, wishing they could use the “accio” spell to bring items like a water bottle and breakfast burritos closer to them. If these are the kinds of texts that would be used with these magical emoticons, they’re probably not all that different from the kinds that muggles send.
