i heard the game is pretty great. But i dont care enough about the IP to try it. But i still love the lands at Universal tbh.

I don't gaf about the books or the movies but I love what they created at Universal.

you mean the overpriced wands that make a fake cupcake do a 180 in a window?!

[waffletaco]

i dont buy wands, so i dont know.
But the butterbeer (specifically the frozen one) is delicious.
And the rides are fun as hell. The theming/aesthetic of the areas is perfect.

Anyone played this? Is it good even if you're only a casual HP fan?

[novacek001]

does jkr get royalties from this game? does she have approval over it?

[a_files06]

She owns the rights so she gets $$ that has anything to do with HP

[umilicious]

… which is why I could never buy or play this game. I don’t care if it’s great. I’m not doing anything that will result in her getting wealthier.

HP fans will hold this to dear life to make themselves feel better about supporting this transphobic asshole. I honestly don't get paying for HP stuff in the year of 2023 unless you're one of those blissful ignorant people who go through life without paying attention to things that matter on a social sphere. Like, I know I'm a hypocrite on a fair share of things but this feels like something that isn't even hard to not support yet HP freaks are still showering this vile woman with money.

It's a lost cause for so many of them. I was a huge HP fan, too, but then it turns out I love my trans friends more than I love the franchise, so.

I mean, I was a BIG fan. Had a large HP tattoo on my arm and everything. Was so relieved to get that covered up a few years ago.

If what I’m seeing amongst my trans mutuals on Twitter is right, they really shouldn’t be clinging to it because the name itself is also some kind of clumsy dig. (I have no idea if that’s correct or not, but it would definitely track with the way JK names things in Potter - they’re all incredibly literal to the point of clunky in translation)

who decided to confront joanne like this i love them
