“Hogwarts Legacy” crossed 22 million copies sold by the end of 2023, with approximately 2 million of those units selling during the December holiday season, according to Warner Bros. Games. The new Harry Potter game is a hit as some trans gamers pushed a boycott that went absolutely nowhere.
Acclaimed author J.K. Rowling just keeps on winning. Despite the combined forces of left-wing critics and woke dissemblers, the Harry Potter creator has defied all efforts to cancel her and can sit back and enjoy seeing her bank balance rise.
Discussions of the ethics of buying the game have generated thousands of tweets, many loudly calling for a boycott, others wrestling with financially supporting it.
As a result of this controversy, some games media outlets decided not to cover Hogwarts Legacy. The moderators of ResetEra, one of the biggest and longest-established games discussion forums, have banned all mention of it. One of the game’s actors, meanwhile – Sebastian Croft, who also plays a character in beloved LGBTQ+ Netflix teen drama, Heartstopper – has followed the example of the stars of the Potter movies and issued a statement distancing himself from Rowling’s comments. “I was cast in this project over three years ago, back when all Harry Potter was to me, was the magical world I grew up with. This was long before I was aware of JK Rowling’s views,” he said, in a series of tweets. “I’m really sorry to anyone hurt by this announcement. There is no LGB without the T.”

Many people out there are likely unaware of what Rowling says on Twitter, and what Twitter says about her. And for some people, her views will have no bearing on whether they buy the game. But for the OG millennial contingent of Harry Potter’s fandom, this is not a fringe issue. The UK charity Stonewall reported last year that 18% of millennials identify as LGBTQ+. A majority of this generation agrees that, in the words of Croft, Emma Watson and other actors associated with the Harry Potter franchise, trans women are women and trans men are men; one-third of millennials have someone transgender in their lives.
When I asked people on social media for their views on the game, all but one mentioned Rowling’s association with it. “As someone with trans family and friends, this is an issue that I care deeply about, and I could never look them in the eye and say that I supported [Rowling] monetarily,” says Pat, a 31-year-old who found Potter’s veiled magical world captivating as a child. “I would implore anyone who claims to support trans people to stay away from this game.”
