The success of “Hogwarts Legacy” comes in the midst of an ongoing debate among fans: Is it possible to buy “Harry Potter” products without wading into the controversy surrounding its creator?
When the new, highly anticipated “Harry Potter” videogame “Hogwarts Legacy” made its debut earlier this month, it shot immediately to the top of the sales charts. Set in a 19th-century Wizarding World where wizards wear top hats and drive buggies, the game transports players to the school where Harry and his friends mastered spellbooks and learned how to fight against the dark arts.
Like other extensions of the Potter brand, including movies, theme parks and a Broadway show, the game hinges on nostalgia for the bestselling book series by J.K. Rowling. Game fans are captivated by its immersive open world: In the days following its release, “Hogwarts Legacy” had at one point had more than 879,000 concurrent players, according to distribution platform Steam. Developed by Avalanche Studios and released by Warner Bros.
