Hogwarts Legacy looks like a totally immersive Harry Potter experience with a range of everything from taking classes to fighting wizards and goblins in combat with spell combos. Enter the JK Rowling problem.
If you’re my age, you probably grew up with Harry Potter as a cornerstone of your youth. I was the exact same age as Harry and his friends when the books were released and grew through my teens along with him. I did not really recognize the problematic aspects of the series until much later on , but it’s hard to split that from the initial joy I felt reading them growing up.
I can understand the argument about playing the game without feeling like you’re supporting Rowling and her views. All across Hollywood and the gaming industry there are all manner of people who have made things I love that have personal, terrible views or character flaws.
Yes, I know we support a lot of different products that end up giving money to bad people or bad corporations that do bad things with it, but this one feels more tangible. We can just go on Twitter every day and see Rowling’s latest anti-trans statements in real time, which is why I know so many people have an issue with this.
I do not know the answer here. I have deep childhood connections to Harry Potter and I know that thousands of perfectly unproblematic people worked hard to make a fun, charming game based on that world. But JK Rowling’s presence looms too large and she remains too connected to the franchise, so I understand the desire for boycotts based on that alone.
It’s hard, and a wholly unique situation in many ways. I welcome feedback and opinions on how you feel about the game itself, and how it should be covered.
