Watched some of @chudbere 's stream.
And I'm majorly on the fence.
I partly find the Hogwarts game fun. But I mostly find it cringe. No offense to you wizard witch fans. But... I just don't find it that interesting. lol
The tiny wands are lame too. If you have to have a catalyst, it should be a cool staff.

Doll seemed interested so far, they lost me at the woke bits. I'm too cynical and I dislike the franchise anyway.
I think J.K needs to lean in to the criticisms. Go full sperg with it. Black wizards segregated to a shithole school out back etc.

Damn! Here's the lowdown - it's a great fantasy world for children but it isn't the best thought out universe. If you like your fantasy world-building to hold up under scrutiny then you won't like it. I loved it as a kid but it doesn't really hold up.
Lots of women (especially smart ones) seem to be majorly into Harry Potter and I cannot tell you exactly why it is. It's the female equivalent of Star Wars, basically.

Harry's wand isn't small, none of the witches have ever complained to him, bish!
Have you never read or watched any Harry Potter before? Did you have zero expectations before you went in? That's kind of astounding.

I saw the first movie as a kid, but remember hardly anything. lol
So pretty much 0 expectations.

I think magic is coolest when there's no catalyst and you're summoning shit from your hands. But the pencil wrist flicks look so effeminate. ?

@LTJG_Pliskin @chudbere It's hard to imagine Gandalf having a standoff with the Balrog and screaming YOU SHALL NOT PASSSS! with a No. 2 pencil in his hand.
I know, I know, different IPs.

It's a whacky, extremly light and sub par written childrens book series that accompanied many people through their teens and invited many young reader to dream.
Problem is that most millenials refuse to take the step into the grown up World and to give up their toys.

Yeah I know there are die hard HP fans just creaming themselves over this game, but I am also on the fence. I'm pretty familiar with the books and movies so I can appreciate the details and such they put in, but despite all the visual touches and little details inside the castle that make things feel "lived in" and true to the series, there's 10 other things I could criticize so far about the game.
I don't dislike the game but right now it feels more like a visual novel with occasional tasks/QTEs/battles. It is kind of boring. I'd like the meat of the story to progress faster, and I'd like it if the "open world" had more to do.

I think it was petting the cats that sold Doll the most tbh.

Did the scorching light improve her features any?

I've been working at my local power company for 26 years now, and 17 of those were on the line crew. About 15 years ago my stand-by partner and I got dispatched out around midnight for a small power outage affecting a dozen or so houses.
I arrived on-scene first, and since I had the pick-up truck and my partner had the bucket truck, I rolled down my window, plugged-in my spotlight, and started riding the line out, trying to find the reason for the outage.
About halfway down this little dead end country lane, this lady in a robe comes running down her driveway, out into the middle of the road, and starts waving her arms at me. I pulled up next to her and she proceeds to start punching me on the shoulder thru the open window of my truck. After 3 or 4 punches, I shined that million candlepower spotlight in her face and that causes her to stop and take a few steps back.
After a few seconds of hyperventilating, she starts screaming about how the new Harry Potter book just went on sale at midnight, and that her son is bring her a copy right now.....and if I don't get the lights back on by the time her son delivers the book, she is going to kill herself.
She then walks back up her drive way, and I finish riding the line out. I find a broke tree limb on the line and knock it off with an extendo-stick. Then I call my partner and he re-energizes the line. I meet-up with my partner and we have a good laugh about the crazy Harry Potter lady, and then we go home.

LOL. I've never read any Harry Potter books, nor have I seen any of those movies.......but I was assaulted by a crazy Harry Potter fan one time, who happened to be a 40-ish year old woman.
