### How do I set Harry Potter as my Mac wallpaper?

Install MacWall, then choose Set on Mac on this page or search "Harry Potter" in the app. It plays behind your windows as a live desktop wallpaper on any connected display.

### Is Harry Potter a video or a still wallpaper?

It is a video loop at 3840x2160 that repeats every 18 seconds, played with hardware decoding so it stays smooth without slowing your Mac.

### Will the Harry Potter live wallpaper drain my MacBook battery?

MacWall pauses playback behind full-screen apps and when the display sleeps, so Harry Potter costs very little in everyday use.
