and how a bride gets ready for a big day in finland in our series on european wedding customs. bots we begin with a brand new harry potter game from the same company that brought his polka mungo a few years back and had people all over the world wandering around staring into their smartphones and acting strangely as they chased monsters well this time wizards unite is all about those weird and wonderful creatures dreamt up by j.k. rowling use digital x. but roger has been chasing. the problem was it's you know looks like a trailer for a blockbuster movie. manufacturer promises to dress for players to the magical world of harry potter. via smartphone screens and amanda's reality.
11:46 pm
in the game players search for lost magical items called the bull's. eye. here's how it works as a player your phone is tracked by a g.p.s. and it shows you a map of your surroundings. with magical places. to reach those places you have to walk there. is not a game for lazy wrong once you're there you can collect tools that you need to progress through the game. and that's when things get really interesting camera captures your surroundings and that's animated sequences to the picture to retrieve the vandals you have to cast a spell by swiping across your screen. the game in principle. was it you know i've been a factor and i can take release program and go in 2060 that game became global phenomena with about 800000000. and it told revenue of more than 2000000000 euros
11:47 pm
so far with results you know i think is now hoping to reach the harry potter fan base. prada mania is still going strong. merchandise harry potter sports events. and even harry potter seem tops and so far more than half a 1000000000 copies of the harry potter books have been sold worldwide and is betting its new game will reach similar numbers. rogers here with me now 1st of all roger are you a harry potter fat i have to admit i didn't read the books but i saw the movies i like them a lot and luckily you don't have to be a harry potter expert to play wizards you're not ok now we saw you playing it then what did you think of it i think. it has a lot of potential it is and is early stages and 5 now still as it is a rather mixed back and what's been the reaction from fellow daemons.
11:48 pm
fellow gamers they are quite happy with the day they say they really praised the overall look of did they play the appearance especially because it's very very detailed. manufacture and i think they cooperated with want to brothers they own the copyrights for the bottom movie franchise and that's why the game can come very close to the atmosphere of the movies. you know ok now how's it doing for the company is it i mean you know this is not you know we've made a lot with. faye really made a lot of money and compared to those numbers i say was as united as rather mediocre to put it mildly and then expos actually really very skeptical if it can really take off because it basically repeats a game principle that a lot of people know already and if you're looking at the figures the 1st weekend was it's you know i generated one roughly 1000000000 but
11:49 pm
a 1000000 times already it would be a huge number 1000000 euros and was downloaded 3000000 times and compared to pokemon gold that's peanuts it was about 10 times as much ok now this game is a fun example of all mended reality are we going to see a lot lord of this yeah i think at least the industry is hoping that we'll see a lot more of it in the near future and that they really want to bring that technology to the mainstream as for example apple they have developed the software that some abel's uses to build their own experience of google has been testing a new feature. they are doing a hot erections at the moment and microsoft is has recently announced a game called minecraft earth in which uses can build was an object. ok oh look it's be all male this. just thank you very much for now i'll let you get back to

star out there. that's why techno was so important to me politically and that's what. made it so incredibly attractive i think i took so long to have the. beloved parade became the image of a new generation post berlin wall hundreds of rivers turned into hundreds of thousands into a 1000000 joins the free outdoor party in the last parade so i thought what i parade was in the perfect place at the perfect time it was a whole generation it started off as a little group of people who took to the streets saying this is who we are this is our music at that we're not afraid of technology we make music with it and i was potential. for the love parade ended in tragedy in 2010 after the event was moved to western germany a stampede broke out leaving $21.00 people dead and hundreds more injured. but
