I – and many, many others – have already written about this before, but since people love to ask ‘how is JK Rowling even transphobic?’ I’m going to link to three different sources which explain that for you. Never mind one of her novels features a trans villain in an incredibly outdated trope.

JK Rowling has been in the headlines for three reasons recently; something she tweeted, the Guardian’s Person of the Year poll, and the Harry Potter reunion special. As a trans woman, you often get accused of being obsessed with JK Rowling, so I want to establish that there are three significant reasons she has been constantly in the press recently, and asking you all, once and for all, to shut up about her. Please. With a new Harry Potter movie and video game out next year, please heed this call.

Customization within games like these is absolutely vital for the audience to become attached to the story that’s being told. Fans are certainly looking for some very specific things when it comes to putting their own little touches on their characters. From their attire to props and animals, there are countless ways that Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, Avalanche Software, and Portkey Games can continue to provide choices within the ti

Aside from the peculiar Buchanan family, there’s a more prominent character fans could meet as a Hogwarts student: Kendra Dumbledore. Kendra was Albus and Aberforth’s mother, and is believed to have lived from 1851 to 1899. Although what is known about Kendra is limited to the events that led to her death in the late 1800s, it is possible Hogwarts Legacy producers will use the opportunity to develop her character as a Hogwarts student, and the struggles of being a Muggle-born witch during a time in which the prominence of pure-blood families was far more significant than in more modern ti

There was perhaps a time when JK Rowling could have been reached. There was a more reasonable way out of this for all of us. Now? Probably not. But we don’t need to act like everything she says is the end of the world. She wasn’t included in the Harry Potter special – aside from archive footage – because of how controversial she is. How you feel about her views on trans people is irrelevant; she is controversial. In some ways, she has deliberately made herself controversial, leaning into what is now her brand.

The Room of Requirement is one of the many hidden locations in the castle that has revealed itself to students that have really needed it. The room will absolutely show up at some stage in the game, theref

There will be some kind of narrative trickery to make sure everything makes sense for Harry’s time at Hogwarts Legacy DLC, but at some stage, fans should be able to visit the Chamber and perhaps even fight a smaller version of the Basil

There are a few other Wizarding schools in the Harry Potter franchise, which fans have read about and seen onscreen. Durmstrang, Ilvermorny, and Beauxbaton are some examples of the other educational facilities that students might be able to vi

Inferi An Inferius is a zombie-like corpse that’s specifically been reanimated by the Dark Art of Necromancy. While not technically a beast, these undead skeletal creatures are used as puppet minions for dark wizards like Voldemort, who summoned an army of them to guard a Horocrux hidden in the cave in The Half-Blood Prince . These creatures of the dark can also be seen marching through another cave-like setting in the Hogwarts Legacy trai

It’s a beautiful setting to explore and may be a way to expand the Wizarding World further for players, besides Hogwarts itself. With the Ministry so linked to Hogwarts’ history, it also seems probable that the two institutions will intertwine in the g

**Hogwarts Legacy ** has only teased a small amount of content for what is described to be an immense open world game, and fans can expect to see more of a menagerie than what’s listed here. It’s doubtful a Portkey Games world would exclude the presence of popular creatures like werewolves, pixies, Nifflers, or phoenixes, so Magizoologists can look forward to seeing a wide variety of fantastic beasts as they explore the wizarding world in this upcoming ti

It’s not too different from its previous instalment but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The graphics are better, puzzles slightly more interesting and the title, despite being made from plastic, is darker than before. There’s a whole load of things to do and items to collect and GameSpot expresses a belief that the series went out on a ‘fun’ n

The PlayStation showcase in September certainly got fans excited for what lies ahead. There will be a new Spider-Man game , with Spider-Man: Miles Morales poised to release in at launch. It’s a similar story with Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition and there’s also another Call of Duty to look ahead to. But, out of all the things that were shown off, Hogwarts Legacy appears to be the one fans are hell-bent on buying day
