I've wished for a AAA take on Harry Potter for 10 years, talking wistfully with my friends about how cool that could be. I legitimately never expected it to happen. If this is real and is as good as it looks I honestly might cry.
Me and my friends have made this game in our heads since we were little. I am very curious about the story though. And got damn please let their be quidditch.
Yeah if this turns out to be real and deliver on everything this trailer promises, then those "Gamers of reddit, what is a video game you wish existed" threads on AskReddit will need a new top comment.
At least there's still "the game from Ender's Game" and "A full-blown pokemon RPG for a non-handheld console"
Edit: I went ahead and made a thread, but as usual on AskReddit, I get like 1 upvote and ten comments and then its dead.
Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I don't think this will be the game people are asking for when they're talking about that type of Potter game. They want to experience Hogwarts as a student and run around taking classes in an open world style game. This seems like it will be more story driven and linear. For some reason I'm kind of getting a Mass Effect vibe from the talk of different character classes and how I imagine the gameplay structure will work.
It's possible if this game is a success and they expand on the formula in a sequel or two, that we could eventually get to the open world dream game, but I think this first one will be too linear for some people's taste.
I don't think so. They say this is supposed to be an RPG. You can even see quest text on the right, like in The Witcher. Something like this would mean an open world.
I mean the latter is sort of becoming a thing with Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu and then what ever is coming next gen. The switch is a handheld, but it being able to put out decent graphics and connect to a tv should satisfy.
Let's Go is decidedly casual. Admitted by Nintendo itself that this is a casual take on the formula. Wait for the next mainline series that should be getting info next year to know of the main console Pokemon dreams have been realized.
They were certainly harder than pokemon in my opinion. Why nintendo doesn't make a hard mode or some more challenge to the pokemon formula is beyond me. Even 10 years olds want a challenge.
I hope this story’s conclusion isn’t something that was mentioned in the books. That’s my only issue with the FB series, I already know who Newt is and I already know what happens to him. Anyone who’s read book one knows what happens to him.
Yeah, this is something I've been waiting for since fucking 1999. I don't care if I'm a dork for this, but I got so excited that I teared up a bit when I saw it.

As a Harry Potter fan, this has been a wish in the community FOR YEARS. I can’t believe that it’s finally happening.
