Harry Potter Invisibility Cloak Deluxe

This product uses green screen technology to mimic the invisibility cloak effect used in the Harry Potter movies. Using the App, you get a background image (like your living room) and then can move in to frame, turn the cloak inside out revealing the chromakey green lining which is digitally removed by the Wowstuff app in real time. Some folks had a bad experience with the app on Christmas day, but I had no such issue. The app downloaded easily on my Pixel 3XL, and once I entered the unique product code that came with the cloak, the app worked seemlessly. Pros: Watching someone vanish through the phone in real time is really neat! The cloak looks gorgeous, suitable for costume or cosplay purposes. The cloak is heavier weight material of good quality and feels great, almost like upholstery or tapestry fabric. The app worked flawlessly. The instructions built in to the app were clear and thorough. The included phone stand worked ok. Cons: The cloak feels like it's for smaller users. I'm 5'10 and the cloak comes to about my knees. This may be accurate to the books, but if you are an adult human of average height, you will have to kneel to make your feet "invisible", more so if you want to cover your head as well. I expected the cloak to have a hood. It does not. It is unclear from the source material as to whether or not it did. So this is likely more a discrepancy in my expectation than anything the matter with this product. As such, however, I would refer to this as more of an "invisibility cape" than an "invisibility cloak". Semantics. ;) The included phone stand won't allow your phone to be parallel to the image you are taking. As it's a stand and not a tripod, the phone is held in place by gravity and your phone rests aiming slightly up. You (wearing the cloak) will need to be higher than the height of your phone if you want to take a horizontal photo (movie aspect ratio). You can shoot vertically with no issues. Final thoughts: All in all, this toy married a great app performance with a quality costume piece for an excellent experience. I know there were some server issues around the holidays but best I can tell they seem to have resolved those.
