Instagram's semi-new feature allows anyone to create interactive filters for Instagram stories, which can be shared and used by everyone on the app.

It's been coming in clutch for people who are trying to beat the boredom of being locked indoors amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The 'Wizard Are You?' filter was created by user @ohdelele, and it works by scrolling through a list of characters and plasters your face on them until it lands on one.

  1. Using Instagram on your phone, find your way to @ohdelele's profile, tap on the tab which looks likes smiley face to bring up filters and it's the eight one down, on the right.
     
  2. Tapping on that will show you how it works and if you want to try it for yourself, just tap the 'Try it' option.
     
  3. Now you've got the filter, it's time to see whether or not you're a wizard, Harry.
