Warner Bros. is about to cash in on J.K. Rowling’s creations again. The film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (based on Rowling’s writings) debuts on Friday, and Warner is releasing a new hidden-object mobile game based on the film today.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and developer Mediatronic have created Fantastic Beasts: Cases From the Wizarding World, a game where you find hidden objects in landscapes. It is rated for everyone 12 and up, but hidden-object games are particularly popular with women.
