    I’m both a gamer and HP fan.

    I thought the game was great, and I didn’t really realize the depths of people’s distaste for it, I guess.

    Was it crazy revolutionary? No, but it was fun.

      Fellow HP fan, I was kinda weirded out by the whole “free access to unforgivable curses” and “canonically killing people” and the honestly kinda disheartening stance on goblin personhood but man flying around the grounds is so fun

        Oh yeah me too. There are a lot of moments in the writing that make me go “wait… what? are you sure about that?” and some of the game design was iffy here and there but the main attraction is just the fact that they’ve given us a “full-scale” Hogwarts and surroundings.

        Oh no kidding, I loved how they handled the curses. For the most part at least. Like, I would’ve been pretty disappointed if they weren’t usable in-game at all, but was never sure how they could introduce them in a realistic way. So HL literally having entire side quests devoted to you discovering the curses and learning how to use them honestly blew away my expectations.

        My only issue with them is being able to use them in front of others so casually. They should’ve just made them unusable if you had another character accompanying you.
