Harry Potter author is not involved in Hogwarts Legacy RPG
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has posted answers to frequently asked questions about Hogwarts Legacy, the recently announced open-world RPG set in the Harry Potter universe. The company did not provide new information about the project, but the note says that Joanne Rowling, who wrote the books about the “boy who survived”, is not involved in the development of the game.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment said: “J.K. Rowling is not directly involved in the production of the game, but her outstanding workload is at the heart of all projects that take place in the Wizarding World. ” The publisher also explained that Hogwarts Legacy is “not a new J.K. Rowling story. “
Most likely Warner Bros. decided to distance herself from the author of the Harry Potter books because of the scandals around her: on the Web, J.K. Rowling is actively accused of transphobia.
Hogwarts Legacy will be released in 2021 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. The game’s plot is set in the 1800s and tells the story of a Hogwarts student who owns a certain secret. He will be able to use it both for the good and for the study of dark magic.
