HBO Max has been a strong supporter of Apple Vision Pro from the start, offering a robust native app for visionOS with a Game of Thrones immersive environment.
Today, HBO has announced an update to the visionOS app with an all-new environment: Hogwarts Great Hall.

Neat, but the visuals don’t look anywhere near as good as the Hogwarts Legacy game, at least from what can be seen in those images. As has been said before, it would be great if they added a system to use any environment any time. Imagine “sitting at the table” in the Great Hall while you work on your magic floating screens. Ambient sounds. A house elf peeks out from behind a pillar. An owl flies by after ten minutes. Nothing distracting, but neat touches like that would be really cool. Maybe add house common rooms. Imagining different franchises… there are so many cool possibilities.
The Hogwarts Great Hall immersive environment will be familiar to Harry Potter fans, as it’s one of the most iconic rooms at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the series.
The environment on Apple Vision Pro offers separate modes for Day and Night. You get the full Hogwarts Great Hall experience with the robust architecture, floating candles, and iconic long tables. While browsing the HBO Max app immersed in the environment, you’ll also hear the ambient Hogwarts Great Hall sound effects.
You can download the latest version of the HBO Max app on your Apple Vision Pro to check it out. You’ll need to be on visionOS 2.6 and HBO Max 6.2.0 or later to try it.
