The game looks like it has a decent amount of combat, which really sucks in the HP world. Not to mention that the two best games I've played recently are Disco Elysium and Outer Wilds, both of which are pretty much combat free. I don't think a HP game should have no combat, but it's always portrayed as something that's a last resort and that kids aren't particularly good at. In some of the videos it looks like you're just indiscriminately blasting a bunch of mooks at parts. I guess there was that sort of action in the last book/movie, but to me the best parts of HP are the wonder and mystery. Give me a huge castle and surrounding areas to explore with lots of hidden secrets. Let me uncover lore about the wizarding world that hopefully doesn't do the Star Wars thing of making everything even more interconnected. I think it'd be a lot more interesting of a game if it went for book 3/4 energy rather than book 6/7.

Low combat Metroidvania, spells are your tools, gently caress it designs itself.

If I was going to design an open world HP game it would be a glorified Persona clone that takes you through years 1-7 at Hogwarts. Most of the game is spent building up relationships by interacting with classmates and spells/skills/etc by going to classes and doing activities. You have finals each year where you have to demonstrate mastery, and also once per year there's a big plot event where there's some puzzle solving and/or combat. You can also join clubs and, if the player wants more combat, dueling club is an option and provides both specialty spells and a bunch of 1v1 fights. Throw in some cringey romance options on top and bam, you've got a loving seller.

Good luck doing a AAA without good voice talent and good luck getting any talent to hitch their wagons to this falling star of a property. "Wrap it up, Potterailures" (as the kids say these days).

I'll just have Yuri Lowenthal voice all characters in the game - including the girls - and achieve about the same level of variety of voice actors there were in Fallout New Vegas.

A persona style HP game would whip rear end It should have at least one character or professor that changes their gender at a whim every time you meet them, and in a lecture teaches their students about the Death of the Author Then for the SMT / HP crossover DLC there should be a quest where you summon multi-titted Satan

Honestly whenever I think of what would make a great Harry Potter game, I end up jumping towards just taking the basic concepts that are attractive about the franchise and just building a new IP around those, because most attempts to expand the franchise have turned out badly. Which doesn't seem to fit with how drat successful the merch of Harry Potter has been, Barnes and Noble is covered in the stuff. I think it may be the most merchandised property that Warner Brothers has going for it right now, and they're desperately clinging to it as their one salvation against the Disney machine. Well, I guess it sure was fun flying around Hogwarts in the Chamber of Secrets game.

I found most of the setting of Harry Potter boring because her view of nature and the mystical seemed to be basically a fun and exciting playground for wizards. It might be dangerous in a limited way, but not truly threatening beyond an extremely local scale.

Wow, they seriously just hastily reskinned a cover based shooter down to the character models. You could probably do a lot more interesting things with different magic styles. And more big bombastic anime charge-up attacks. I mean christ, what else is the point of having vocalised spells?

Movie/TV tie-in games got really lazy at the end before they more or less died out. Compare the above with say the Chamber of Secrets game, which was a fun and charming adventure game on the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube, a turn based RPG on the GBC, a isometric dungeon crawler on the GBA, or a terrifying look at early 3d graphics on the PS1.

[Interior: The Great Hall] The Great Hall is lavishly decorated with British and/or Magical Halloween decorations. The tables are piled high with British and/or Magical foods, and all the students are present, chattering unintelligibly Ron: Where's Hermione? Harry: Some crap I'm not transcribing for a very dumb joke *Ron looks ashamed* Professor Qrrbrbirlbel burst in, shouting wordlessly. Everyone stands up in alarm. He reaches the center of the room and stops. Professor Qrrbrbirlbel: Zeeky Boogy Doog A bomb explodes.

I know hp really changes trajectory from the first book but this gets my goat: the scene from the first book in which Harry interacts with and frees the zoo snake. It sets up Harry as someone with empathy, and suggests to the audience to doubt the snake as a badge of evil as they occur in the series. It's select compassion and evil snakes for the rest of the series.

It would be a cooler series if there were a bunch of snakes in the forest that Harry hung out with occasionally. Or if when Harry was fighting the basilisk, he could just talk it down instead of slaying it.

Sex criminals will definitely try to argue that their friends did in fact consent to share this when they took a poo poo at their house with the mysteriously broken toilet and they will convince themselves they are doing no wrong as they fish your poops out of said toilet to put into tonight's JO potion.

A series where Harry takes the things he has in common with Voldemort and turns them against Voldemort or shows that there is nothing inherently bad to them would be a better series, yeah.
