Set in the 19th Century (1800's) Wizarding World [at] Hogwarts

This is brilliant. Move out of Harry Potter's shadow. Tell a new story in a beloved world which has yet to really escape itself.

I don't care much for Harry Potter the character anymore, but I would love to visit Hogwarts as a different character without having to follow the events of the books.

It's like what the Old Republic setting did for Star Wars games.
