You Can Buy A Real-Life Harry Potter Invisibility Cloak At Typo
If you're a true blue Potterhead, you'll know that you'll be able to purchase some of the coolest acessories from the Harry Potter universe from their official online store.
Want Dumbledore's Elder Wand for Christmas? Swipe that credit card. Want to rep your house with a House Robe? Cry and beg your mom to get it for you. Heck, you can even get a replica of the Firebolt broomstick to sweep your floor.
One thing from the Potterverse that you can't buy is Harry Potter's Invisibility Cloak.
...until now.
Last week, Twitter user @Mieraculous posted a video of her trying on the Invisibility Cloak at a Typo outlet.As expected, the tweet went viral because OMG THERE'S A REAL LIFE INVISIBILITY CLOAK?!
Check the video out below:

The 'magic' of the cloak
So, how does it really work? Is it really magic? Can it really make you disappear?The answer is really simple: green screen magic.
The Invisibility Cloak is made by an online gift store based in the UK called Wow! Stuff, and the reason why you can disappear from the screen is because of a camera app.It’s becoming more fun bila you ajak your friend to play around with! ? *excuse my laugh pic.twitter.com/TaHTvaTpEv— ?

Wow! Stuff uses the same trick as the film version of the Invisibility Cloak: the inside of the cloak is made of green screen material, so the camera app would just crop your body out.
Pretty nifty, right?
Invisibility comes with a price
It appears that you need a healthy bank account to go invisible.The Harry Potter Invisibility Cloak is now available to purchase at Typo outlets around the country for RM389.
We can't seem to find the cloak on their online store, so you would have to walk in to any of their outlets to see if they have it in stock.Would you guys splurge on this novelty item? If you're a real Potterhead, you need one in your life, right?
