Whether anything in it is true or not, the Reddit post contains lots of information for Harry Potter fans to peruse and speculate over. According to the leak, Hogwarts: A Dark Legacy will be set decades in the future, after Harry Potter 's children have graduated from the magic academy. The game's main villain is a former Death Eater, if not quite as powerful as Voldemort. Players will take on the role of a fifth year student at Hogwarts, and users can customize their appearance and whether they are full-born magic users, half-bloods, or muggle-born. Player choice will play a large role in the game, with decisions impacting how the story plays out.

The promised backlash has already begun since the information about Leavitt's history came to light on Friday, with fans already expressing concern about his involvement with Hogwarts Legacy on gaming forums, but all of that is to be expected. What's most interesting about the story as it stands is that WB Games knew that Leavitt had a history of controversial views and decided to hire him anyway, in the full knowledge that the Harry Potter fanbase is particularly sensitive to this sort of controversy in the wake of Rowling's transphobia . It seems to be a case of what Admiral Grace Hopper, pioneering computer scientist and one of the most influential women in history, once said: " It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permissio

Since the developers have already made it clear that a lot of the game will take place both in and outside of Hogwarts, it's hard to imagine the player's adventures away from school being devoid of magical use. The trailer portrays a student fighting off a masked villain in a dark woods — likely the Forbidden Forest — along with encountering trolls and dragons in unidentifiable settings. One shot shows a student attacking a charging Graphorn with his wand, before dodging out of harm's way. Whether or not this takes place on school grounds is uncertain. Still, using magic outside of school seems like a must in this game, considering a good chunk of time is spent away from Hogwa

So considering the level of scrutiny anything having to do with the Harry Potter series is under recently, it comes as somewhat of a surprise to learn that Hogwarts Legacy 's lead designer, Troy Leavitt, has a history of anti-feminist and pro-GamerGate views that he's elaborated on in a series of videos posted on his YouTube channel, as Kotaku has recently reported. His videos range from praising cultural appropriation, promoting putting the National Guard in schools or shooting active school shooters (who are almost always teenagers), to downplaying the extensive sexual assault allegations levied against former Disney/Pixar CCO John Lasseter because Lasseter was personally nice to Leavitt. Liam Robertson, a contributor on YouTube Channel Did You Know Gaming? highlighted Leavitt's channel on Twitter this past Friday, with the intention of informing potential buyers of Legacy so that they could make an informed decision on supporting the game, and Leavitt by extens

Not much is currently known about the development of Hogwarts Legacy , but what fans do know points towards a large under-taking that has the potential to deliver on the Harry Potter video game license in a way few other projects have. Hogwarts Legacy will be set in the late 1800s and will follow a currently nameless student enrolled at Hogwarts, with players able to select their house and attend classes. The game has been described as open world and will at least allow players to explore Hogwarts, Hogsmeade Village, and the Forbidden Forest, while it will also have a morality system implemented in some fashion. All of these elements have immense potential given the property they're being married to, so it's safe to say any updates about Hogwarts Legacy are ones to wa
