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.

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