Harry Potter: Hogwarts Legacy allows players to zoom around on broomsticks, master exotic spellbooks, and break bread with their fellow students on the castle grounds. There are hundreds of millions of Harry Potter fans on the planet, and after years of middling movie tie-ins and app-store flotsam, Portkey Games promised the first full-throated, big-budget embrace of the Wizarding World.

Alan Tew, the game’s director, addressed the controversy surrounding activists attempting boycotting the game over JK Rowling’s public pro-woman stance.
