Niantic is currently developing a Harry Potter AR game. I wouldn’t be surprised if they allow you to cast spells at other players during duels and what-not, as one of the demos shows

as both someone who's been in the mobile location industry (having headed an R&D center specifically focused on real-time location for mobile devices), and is an avid pokemon go player (and thus Niantic customer), I don't expect them to have anything close to their demos until a year after launch, and even then in extreme beta.
that said, it's almost time for me to do another 1km walk to try to eek out 400m of "egg distance" in pokemon go.
