The long-awaited 'Harry Potter' theme pack for Google Pixel devices may finally be on its way. In August 2026, some users received a notification in their Wallpaper & Styles settings that read 'Try the Harry Potter theme', sparking hopes that it would soon be available to download.

This isn't the first time the 'Harry Potter' theme has been rumored for release. Back in April 2026, code for the theme was added to the Theme Pack app's internal resources, only to be removed a week later during an update. Since then, no new themes have been distributed through the service.

The brief appearance of the 'Try the Harry Potter theme' notification has rekindled speculation about the future of the Theme Pack app itself. Some had even speculated that the service might be shut down due to a lack of new releases in nearly a year, with only the 'Wicked' and 'SpongeBob' themes being added.
