WHY NOT DLCS?!

They built this gorgeous world and barely put anything in there? I mean a sequel is great but I've been screaming since day one that they could make sims level money if they just added DLCs here and there. Look there's some new classes. Oh there's a new small 5 quest storyline. You don't even have to build a new world, the world is great! Just needs more stuff to do.

Give us more stuff to do with the broom! Flying around on it is one of my favorite things. Give us more races, maybe a battle game kind of like Mario Kart with some balloons or something, actual quidditch.

On top of that, more mini games in general, like the courtyard bowl rolling one, and make them repeatable! More dueling leagues to find and participate in around the world would be cool.

Yeah when they said no quidditch I immediately thought "okay we'll just take this dump truck of money and leave them, I guess".

It sold so well, and they never wanted to do anything more with it. So freaking stupid. The main story didn't even really take us into the southern area very much, so many things could be done with that for so little!

I hope they bring a little bit more social sim into the game with classes you have to attend a la bully

With how much JK Rowling won't stop running her mouth about trans people, I'm surprised there's still any value left in the brand. Imo it's off putting having the writer tweeting all day to be an edgelord and refusing to just drop it. Oddly enough, my kid was just invited to a Harry Potter themed birthday today, and this is the 2nd time today I've heard about anything Harry Potter related, but in the last 5 years, I don't think I've heard a peep.

Most people barely know about it nor do they care.

You can buy Harry Potter toys at Walgreens. Joanne's brand is doing just fine, transphobic and misogynistic as she may be.

I hope they allow character transfers from the first game. As we start on year 5, we could have a trilogy and eve in year 7 (which coincidentally is the year Dumbledore starts at Hogwarts).

I haven't played the game yet but i wonder if the sequel would have same effect as Hogwarts legacy, given that it is probably the best Harry Potter game in decades. More of same might not be a big global phenomenon maybe.

it was fun but I hope a sequel takes some years.
