Tesco is currently selling an AR-powered Invisibility Cloak with 50% off and it’s an offer that Harry Potter fans surely won’t want to miss out on.
Ever fancied being invisible? You might want to get yourself down to your nearest Tesco then.
According to the product description, the cloak is “a replica from the movies”.
It reads: “[This] official Warner Bros. licensed Harry Potter Invisibility Cloak with magical app effects [lets you] save photos or video to your smartphone or tablet’s camera roll for instant recall.”
“The cloak features movie-accurate detailing with green silk style interior in reference to the movie prop on display at the Warner Bros Studio Tour London [and] the Wow! Stuff app [is] included free and authenticated with your purchase, [which] allows you to recreate iconic scenes from the Harry Potter films or make new ones of your own.

“View, photograph, or film yourself through the app on your smartphone or tablet (not included) and save the images and videos to your camera roll.
“Your family and friends won’t believe their eyes.”

The Harry Potter Invisibility Cloak is usually priced at £30, but is now currently on offer for just £15.
The impressive invention – which is suitable for children 6+ – was initially released back in August of last year and would’ve set you back around £60 if you had gotten your hands on it when it first came out, which makes this half-price offer at Tesco even more of a bargain.
What’s more is that the cloak is currently available in a number of different stores across the UK – including Selfridges and Smyths Toys – where it is still retailing at full price of £30 or more, so this really is an unmissable deal if you’re a Potterhead.

It’s currently unknown how long this 50% deal will be on offer for at Tesco.
So, all we know is that it’s best to act fast if you want to be sure to take one home with you, and a post to the ever-popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Group on Facebook yesterday showcasing the product, with thousands of comments from shoppers eager to bag one for themselves, proves that even more.
You can buy the Harry Potter Invisibility Cloak from Tesco stores nationwide and from the website here.
If you do plan on heading to your nearest Tesco to grab this bargain, then it’s advised that you always check the opening times of your local store before making and trips and you can do so via the store locator here.

Iconic Manc movie 24 Hour Party People is set to return to cinemas for its anniversary
Emily Sergeant
One of Manchester’s most iconic movies is set to return to the big screen next month.
Remastered in 4K and returning to UK cinemas to mark 24 years since its original release, Michael Winterbottom’s 2002 biographical comedy drama film, 24 Hour Party People, tells the story of Manchester‘s popular music community from 1976 to 1992 – specifically about Factory Records‘ founder Tony Wilson.
The film begins with the punk rock era of the late 1970s, before moving through the 1980s into the rave and DJ culture, and of course, the ‘Madchester‘ scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The narrative largely follows the career of Tony Wilson, played by Middleton-born actor Steve Coogan, while also covering the careers of the major Factory Records artists – especially Joy Division and New Order, as well as A Certain Ratio, The Durutti Column, and Happy Mondays.
If you haven’t seen 24 Hour Party People before, it’s a dramatisation based on a combination of real events, rumours, and urban legends, as the film is sure to make clear.
Coogan is joined by a cast by a mixture of big names and, at the time, rising stars like Paddy Considine, Shirley Henderson, Lennie James, John Simm, Ralf Little, Andy Serkis, Sean Harris, John Thomson, and even Peter Kay, alongside cameos from other figures connected to the Manchester music scene.
Before it returns to cinemas, the film will first open music and media festival/conference, Beyond The Music, at MediaCity in Salford on 6 October.
The screening at the festival will also be followed by a Q&A with Coogan, Winterbottom, and producer Andrew Eaton.
24 Hour Party People will then be re-released in UK cinemas from 9 October, and you can check your local cinema for screening times and book tickets online now.

Bury actress Kate O’Flynn wins big at 2026 Emmys with record-breaking comedy show
Emily Sergeant
Did you know that one of the big winners at the 2026 Emmy Awards last night was actually an actress from Bury?
In case it wasn’t on your radar, American television‘s biggest night, the Emmys, took place yesterday evening over in Los Angeles, and several records were broken in the process – including Apple TV’s comedy horror Widow’s Bay taking home the most Emmys ever for a single series of a comedy show, with 14 of them.
Widow’s Bay tells the story of mayor Tom Loftis, played by Welsh actor Matthew Rhys, who is trying to boost tourism on his rugged New England island, but must navigate several strange events that suggest it might be cursed.
Created by Katie Dippold, and executive produced and directed by Hiro Murai, Widow’s Bay was released in late April to widespread critical acclaim.
At the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards last night, the show scooped a record 14 awards, including for Outstanding Comedy Series, several acting wins, and wins for directing and writing too.
One of those acting wins was Kate O’Flynn for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series – an actress who hails from the Greater Manchester town of Bury.
Kate stars as Patricia Moyer, mayor Tom’s eccentric assistant in the show.
She grew up in Holcombe Brook near Ramsbottom, and was educated at Bury Grammar School, before she went on to train at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Acting in 2006.
Taking to the stage to accept her award last night, Kate said in her speech: “I want to thank our mayor [Matthew Rhys] and all the residents of Widow’s Bay, in front and behind the camera – you’re amazing. This is the role of a lifetime, thank you Katie and Hiro for trusting a Lancashire lass to play a sassy broad like Patricia. And thank you Apple [TV] for saying yes.
“Thank you Nicky and Tony for looking after me, my family back home, my mum and dad, and the loves of my life, my husband and our darling daughter – another sassy broad in the making.
