What is the Harry Potter character Instagram filter and how do you use it?
The 'Harry Potter Test' Instagram filter is a new stories filter created by @syilers. When you use it it says 'Which Harry Potter Character Are You?' and it then matches you with a famous character from the franchise. The filter includes many favourite characters from the series including Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Albus Dumbledore and Sirius Black.
Whether it's actually magical or just a random selection process is up for you to decide but it's great fun regardless.
To use the new 'Harry Potter Test' Instagram filter all you have to do is this:
1) Make sure you have the latest version of Instagram on your phone.
2) Search syilers on Instagram and find the filter creator's page.

You can also save the Instagram filter to your filter options on stories. To do this, all you have to do is go to Step 5 and then, instead of clicking 'Try It', press the downward arrow button on the bottom right corner to download the filter. The filter will then appear as one of your main options on the left when you next go to post an Instagram story. Enjoy fellow wizard.
