She said: "Bet there's some Potter fans like me on here.

Did you know that every android phone has a Harry Potter Easter egg, if you hold the home button until Google pops up and say lumos it turns on you flash light and if you say nox it turns it off. Try it trust me"

It didn't take longer for the post to gain 1.5k likes and 2.4k comments with people tagging their mates demanding them to try it.

Tagging a mate, one Potter fan said: "it works I've just done it!!!!"

Another wrote: "Luckily for me I've known this for a few years, it's really cool and does feel magical"

A third added, along with five laughing emojis: "This made me so happy!!"

One turned to their android owning friend to see if it really works, tagging her, she asked: "Can you confirm?"

"I can confirm [torch emoji]" She replied.

And since I too am I Harry Potter fan, I couldn't help but give it a go.

Just like magic, I said 'lumos' and the torch lit up.

And yes, I do feel like a witch.

I expect my Hogwarts letter any day now.
