![]() Don't insult us by lying that it's about supporting a faceless group of developers who you haven't met. If Harry Potter, and by extension Hogwarts Legacy, means that much to you that no matter how conflicted you are you just can't sit it out, you can't bear to go without a game you know very little about and have not played a single second of, just say that. Fantastic Beasts has spawned a successful movie series off what was essentially a coffee table stocking filler book.

However, the latest trailer for Fantastic Beasts promotes itself under her name, fluttering across the screen in huge letters. She was not present for the Harry Potter reunion, and again, the developers have deliberately and explicitly distanced themselves from her. For a while, it seemed as though she was being locked out of her own legacy. ![]()
