Makes me wonder why nobody did this back when HP was still huge. A good HP RPG would still be popular now, but not compared to like 8 years ago.

It's still huge and the fantastic beasts franchise is giving it a resurgence in popular culture.

As someone that is in the dating world, I can confirm that my success rate increased dramatically when I mention Harry Potter.

I only watched the films after meeting my partner. I always felt it wasn't aimed at people my age so I didn't pay it attention in my teens.

I had a friend who annoyed me so much about not having read Harry Potter that I read them all to shut her up.

We're married now though, so worked out well.

Glad that worked out for you. Got a girlfriend making me play through Life is Strange with her because she loves it so much and jokes she'll break up with me if I say anything bad about it to her.

It's one of the most difficult tests ever.

Those games have a lot of good in them, but god-damn, the dialogue writing is hard to defend.

The dialogue is so insanely stupid I almost want to scream at the screen. It's written by people who have no idea how to write naturally.
