OK Google... cast Harry Potter spells

[PereDroid]

I didn't think this was really front page news worthy, but wanted to share.

On Tuesday Google announced that GNow has been given the ability to do MAGIC! Harry Potter magic, of course, to tie into the upcoming movie, Fantastic Beasts and where to find them.

There are 3 spells that, of course, must be preceded by "OK GOOGLE"

• Lumos!
• Nox!
• Silencio!

I'm not telling you what they do!

Silencio

This one is just Spanish for silence. Not sure that qualifies as a magic spell.

I can't get nox to work by voice. It keeps thinking I'm saying Knox.

I was able to get Lumos and Nox to work. G now thought it was Knox at first but then changed to Nox after a second or two.

 

[sharkattack99]

I couldn't get any of them to work had to spell it letter by letter.

Me too. Must be that Kansas accent causing problems.

They worked for me, although Nox was a little stubborn.

More of a muttled mix of Kansas and Yooper.

I had to Google Yooper. Now I get it.

I've heard it all my life, but yeah. It was big news up here when they officially added it to the dictionary.

Even made the New York Daily News. https://www.google.com/amp/www.nyda...le-1.1797804?0p19G=e?client=ms-android-google

National attention. USA Today covered it as well. Haha!

It was 2014.

You'll always be a Michiginian to me. Yooper... pshaw.

Michiginian

That's not even a thing.

AFAIK, those not from the U.P. prefer Michigander.
