J.K. Rowling isn’t involved with new Harry Potter game assures Warner Bros. fans

J.K. Rowling cannot ruin Hogwarts Legacy... Hogwarts Legacy promises to be the entry point into the magical world of Harry Potter that millions of fans have wanted for years.  Hogwarts Legacy isn’t an extension of Rowling’s ideology and the world, but a playground for fans by fans.

Anything involving Harry Potter is a little radioactive right now, thanks to creator J.K. Rowling being seemingly unable to stop laying out her regressive opinions about trans people. A few months ago with some questionable tweets, graduated to a full-on fear-mongering manifesto, and flared up again when it was discovered that Rowling’s latest book Troubled Blood, which she writes under a male pseudonym, is about a cis male serial killer who dresses up like a woman to kill cis women, which peddles in some backwards tropes roundly disproven.
 

It’s touchy right now, to the point where the develops who made the game have admitted to being “uncomfortable” with everything that’s going on. Now, if you don’t care about this stuff and just want to play the game, then that’s probably what you’ll do. If you do care, WB Games confirmed in an FAQ about Hogwarts Legacy that, at the least, Rowling it’s directly involved with it:

J.K. Rowling is not directly involved in the creation of the game, however, her extraordinary body of writing is the foundation of all projects in the Wizarding World.

This is not a new story from J.K. Rowling.
