Harry Potter game development team frustrated by JKRowling’s homophobic statement

According to the recently published information of Bloomberg, a game Harry Potter The open world recreates the magic school Hogwarts and the surrounding areas are expected to launch in 2021. The images leaked in 2018 are indeed cut from the game. It is known that this game will be developed by Avalanche Software.

Avalanche Software is developing the game for many different platforms including PS5 and Xbox Series X, in the game players will be playing the role of witches, possibly students of Hogwarts. Although it has not been publicly confirmed to be developing the game, but Warner Bros. again about to reveal this AAA super product after the DC FanDome event in August, which further confirms the existence of this Harry Potter game.

​

However, it seems that recently the game development team is also feeling dissatisfied with the statements of JK Rowling – the author of the original novel. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was first published in 1997, paving the way for the brilliant development of the wizarding world as well as the reputation of the “mother” JKRowlingshe has been the idol of many teenagers around the world.

However, the author’s recent homophobic statements made many people find it difficult to accept. Although JKRowling has no direct connection to the game, many members of the development team are annoyed when working on a project adapted from her work. According to Bloomberg, studio management has yet to address the issue, prompting employees to repeatedly send private messages complaining about being involved with a homophobic author.

​

Although not yet named and officially announced, this project has been highly anticipated by the gaming community since the gameplay video was leaked at the end of 2018. Hope for negative emotions with the author of the novel. The original will not affect the development of this game.
