For fuck's sake, there's elemental barrels all over the place in combat.

wait, I didn't know this was being developed by Larian

So they aren't allowed to talk about this game over on Resetera, huh? No threads in sight with Hogwarts in the title.

from what i understand of the harry potter universe this game is actually about putting down a rebellion against an ethno-supremacist state. also the rebellion consists of an alliance between the (unintended?) jewish allegory and the very much intended nazi allegory.

such incredible world building.

The combat to be honest looks a lot different from how it works in the books/movies and that's a big disappointment. If you get hit without a shield charm in the canon world, that's the end for you not a reduction of your Hotpoint. Even just the disarming spell knocks you off your feet and unless you're Voldemort or Dumbledore himself you wouldn't want to duel more than one wizard at a time

frankly the big issue for me is that sometimes enemies looked like they were waiting for your animations to finish

don't forget they have slaves who totally like being slaves because their whole race is naturally submissive

Yes JK Derpling is a hack who is creatively bankrupt.

I feel like this would be one of the few times justifying HP as something other than physical health would work. Make the HP the strength of your protective spells, and if you get hit again after that's bypassed, you're fucked. It would also be able to explain why people don't just shoot the player character but guns are a threat in the original's era by simply stating it won't work on higher speed projectiles from smokeless powder (and could be demonstrated by having some later game enemies pack a Lebel or other early smokeless arm).

So this is the narrative director:

This is an... interesting choice. Have a look at her resume:

Spoiler

One thing's for sure, she doesn't lack for life experience.

Also, she's a former actress? https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2498309/ Can't tell if that's her, but she looks like a younger version of her.

Dobby has seen better days.

You don't have to let her recent transphobia taint the magic of Harry Potter mate.

Erm Harry Potter was never very creative and has plenty of borderline to outright anti semitic and racist under tones. Like making an entire race of "bankers" tiny, hunchbacked hooknosed whiteys. Or calling the only asian character in the series Ching Chong errr Cho Chang. Of course my favorite is still the African wizard called.... Shacklebolt. Classy JK, real classy. Oh wait no, the most disgusting shit was the race that LOVES being slaves.

Glad I never really got into this shit. The story is also overall pretty trite shite.

Listen mate, if you see razor toothed greedy banker goblins and call them anti-Semitic then you're probably the anti-Semite. You must be one of them fellas that think orcs are obviously black people. Tolkien, who popularized them wouldn't agree. You could make the case that the wizards in Harry Potter are an allegory for Jewish people, but that wasn't intended either. Sometimes a wizard is just a wizard and a goblin is just a goblin.

Looks incredibly lame. And oozes with imperialist undertones to the brim, but the dummies are all lapping it up because it's all so cutely delivered by kiddies.

That's how Tolkien actually has devised his races when he created Middleearth. Not that I think with malicious motives, but that's how simply most Europeans thought about races at that time.

All fantasy afterwards is derivative of it.

 

[Inhabitants of Khorinis]

Looks like the standard package of what a HP fan would want from a HP game.

 

[NJClaw]

I still don't know if the game will let us fuck a time-traveling Hermione. Can someone clarify this issue for me? I just need a Hermione sex trailer to preorder this.

This is probably the first Harry Potter product that I'm actually looking forward to.
I saw the movies, sure, and they were nice, but I am WAY more interested in the world and the setting than I am in the single characters.
And this game promises to deliver an opportunity to have a different look at the setting.

At the same time, what a monumental chance to disappoint and not deliver something interesting at all.
E.g. it would be such a shame if there was no real build variety and we'd end up with something like Witcher 3 where no matter how you build your character, it will play exactly the same each time anyway.
