This could be the Harry Potter game fans have always dreamed of

Harry Potter and the Wizarding World could finally be getting the big budget video game to do them justice, if the latest leak is real.

Microsoft looking to buy more video game companies as Xbox fans hope for Sega

For years now there have been rumours that Warner Bros. is working on an action role-playing game based on Harry Potter, but there’s never been much proof beyond a few ambiguous job listings. But now there’s this video.

According to the Reddit group where it was first posted it comes from a focus group in America and even has its own marketing blurb, which we’ve copied below.

That still doesn’t mean it’s not a fake, but if it is then it’s the best fake of all time.


Last year the rumour was that Avalanche Software, who made Disney Infinity, were working on the game, based on a number of suspicious-sounding job ads.



Avalanche Software (not to be confused with Avalanche Studios who make Just Cause) were bought by Warner Bros. in January 2017 but haven’t announced a new game since.

They must be working on something though, and a Harry Potter game seems like a good fit for their family-friendly talents.

It’s still just speculation but here’s the marketing blurb, which almost sounds too good to be true…

Set in the 19th Century (1800’s) Wizarding World, this 3rd person open-world action RPG game centers around your character with unique abilities who has eared a late acceptance to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. You are a newly arrived 5th year student to Hogwarts that demonstrates a latent gift for magic with a unique ability to track and identify remnants of a pottant ancient power.

Upon arrival, strange events begin to materialize In the Forbidden Forrest and trouble begins to brew within the castle walls. Together with Professor Elezar Fig, you embark on a journey through both familiar and never before seen locations to bring to light the truth behind these mysterious occurrences.

On your quest you will craft potions, master new spells, and discover fantastical beasts. You will battle Dark Wizards, Goblins, and other supernatural enemies and uncover the truth about your destiny – the Fate of the Wizarding World lies in your hands.
