So, as you may have heard - Harry Potter author JK Rowling has been under fire recently for making an openly anti-transgender joke on Twitter, following a long history of similarly bigoted opinions against trans folk. Her position has been well known for years at this point, but the recent tweets have brought the controversy back into mainstream attention. From my perspective, the fanbase seems split between those who are currently denouncing the series as a whole - and those who are preferring to separate art from artist.
This is probably not the situation that Warner Bros had hoped for when they greenlit a very expensive Harry Potter RPG that has been in development for several years. While WB has never confirmed the game, it seems highly likely that it was set to be announced around this time of year. WB cancelled their E3 presentation, but it is extremely likely that the game resurfaces at any one of the digital events happening over the next few months.
Do her comments impact your personal interest in a new game set in her universe?
