So let’s meet that ultimatum with profound silence. Don’t tweet about her, don’t reflect on her comments or make fun jokes or memes surrounding her existence. We’re shining a spotlight on her views and bringing them into the vision of those who really don’t need another reminder that people hate them. Well, I could certainly do without it. Hogwarts Legacy, the upcoming open-world adventure from Avalanche Software has come under fire in recent months for a number of reasons, primarily due to Rowling’s potential involvement and the IP coming from a poisoned well that it can’t escape from. It’s a difficult situation.

It would be fun to see players create a range of outfits that genuinely match their personalities or their character. What’s more, perhaps there can be detailed customization of both accessories and garments, rather than simply buying basic items from sh

The trailer already showcased a wand shop that was very likely to be in Diagon Alley. Those looking for a darker path will also be able to step onto Knockturn alley and see what horrible secrets there are to discover th

I don’t look down on family members or oblivious swathes of the general public for still adoring Harry Potter and what it all means to them, some just aren’t tuned into the cultural landscape or Rowling’s rotten views, and it isn’t required for them to be at all. But when becoming aware of how she feels about trans people, and how time and time again she continues to double down on our erasure, it’s time for you to take notice. It’s like we’re queer boogeyman eager to break society apart and reform it in our own twisted image. We aren’t, we just want to be happy, and recognised as who we are without the dangers that come with such a struggle.

Gay and lesbian people received similar stigma several decades ago, and now the very same sad old fuckers who villainised them are emerging from the woodwork to spout their nonsense all over again. Prominent sitcom writers and authors believe we are erasing the identity of women, or are somehow going through all this mental and physical trauma just to sneak into bathrooms and prey on the vulnerable. That’s an awful lot of hoops to jump through just to sexually assault someone, and those with such a twisted mindset won’t let their gender identity be an obstacle to committing such crimes – a point that is sadly been proven time and time again.

The Room of Requirement is one of the many hidden locations in the castle that has revealed itself to students that have really needed it. The room will absolutely show up at some stage in the game, theref

It’s a beautiful setting to explore and may be a way to expand the Wizarding World further for players, besides Hogwarts Legacy story guide itself. With the Ministry so linked to Hogwarts’ history, it also seems probable that the two institutions will intertwine in the g

From their third year, students can start visiting this neighboring location. It’s a beautiful place to visit especially towards Christmas and it would be fun to see players be able to go there at any time they cho

Rinse and repeat. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is a thrilling book, especially given how much it delves into Lord Voldemort’s backstory. Fans learn he was raised in an orphanage, had a horrible grandfather, and that his mother bewitched his father into falling in love with her via a love pot

Aside from Nvidia’s controversial leak, a recent Toy World Magazine interview with Warner Bros.’ Consumer Products General Manager, Rachel Wakley, gave players more insight into a potential release window for the game’s release. In the interview, Wakley mentions that the first major release of 2022 will be the third installment in the Fantastic Beasts film series, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore , and the second release of the year will be Hogwarts Legacy . If this is accurate, the release date leaked on Nvidia might not be correct. The third installment of the Fantastic Beasts series will be released on April 15th 2022, so it’s possible that Hogwarts Legacy will launch in the second half of 2022, after that d

That means the world, it really does, but bringing down the powerful who I’m unsure are even listening to you only brings these often traumatic views into our eyes time and time again. I’ve been a victim of transphobia, I’ve been screamed at on the street and sent death threats just for being who I am. I can give up, but my happiness means so much that I’m willing to keep going in the face of adversity. Rowling means nothing to me, she’s a miserable rich woman who has the world in her hands and enough money to enact substantial change, but she instead spends her time writing essays that will be put on a pedestal and are designed to erase the wider identity of trans people.

Earlier this week saw JK Rowling once again spout transphobic views on social media, with the billionaire author seeking to put down vulnerable people who simply want to be heard and accepted instead of demonised. The Harry Potter author makes it clear that she “knows and loves trans people” in her life but every facet of this ideology goes against that viewpoint. I’m not buying it, and neither are so many cisgender people on my social media who are happy to quote tweet these instances to dunk on Rowling and stand up for people like me.
