Add a Hagrid sized Staff variant and you got yourself a fucking bargain.

why though? Harry potter contains a lot of bad stereotypes including some very relevant topics in the world nowadays, not really the best idea to represent these kinds of things in a game that is openly diverse and caring of the people that are harshly stereotyped against in this media

Did you like watching Top Gun?

# clever nexus It's just a pink umbrella, it's really not that deep.

And it kinda is though. The series has extremely transphobic and racial stereotypes, both of which have been defended in rs with things like pollnivneach having all their npcs renamed as to not touch on the idea of everyone in a place having the same name. Its just not something that should be supported or further given a platform to popularise it

Last I checked, the only hinky thing about Harry Potter was that Rowling was a TERF.

Are we gonna revisit the Pikamee situation?

Werewolves are a metaphor for AIDS, the only asian character is called Cho Chang, the irish character Seamus Finnigan always has explosions occur when he's in scenes, One of the two black characters has the name "Shacklebolt" referring to slavery, there's a lot that link goblins to antisemitism, Professor Quirrell has a turban thats hiding a very dangerous thing underneath which is an implication that I'm sure you can piece together yourself. Could name quite a few more nasty stereotypes that for some reason are all ignored in the content.
There's a LOT of bad shit thats in the books/movies, and considering the game takes such a high position on being diverse and inclusive, things that are from a series like this just really shouldn't be added.

I don't need to name any other piece of media where the proceeds don't go to someone bad because there isn't a suggestion about those pieces of media. If there was then you can know I'd put my opinion in on that too.
And I don't know what a pikamee is so can't really revisit it

Reach any further and you can tap yourself on the back. Werewolves only come in 'in control' and 'rabid' varieties and having a Wizarding World WITHOUT them would be silly. Cho Chang is an actual name actual people can be actually named, as is Seamus Finnigan. Should she have had a character named Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way instead?

Hunt that far for things to bitch about and you'll find things in EVERYTHING.

guys, let's quit with this sort of nonsense. it is fine to make a pink umbrella wand suggestion without having to draw inspiration from other pieces of literature. it is fine to aware of problems in other games, genres, movies, etc, but it isn't fine to just simply shoot someone's idea down in here because another game/franchise/etc did it poorly.

Wand & staff variants. Very for it.

welp, this suggestion was so controversial, the reference material is being rebooted

Hopefully they don't retcon in some of the more silly notions that Rowling put out on twitter to try and placate the twitter mob. I mean, I can definitely see Dumbledore being gay (to quote a fantastic fanfic, I got three words for you; sparkling lilac robes), but if she wanted Hermione to be black the time to say so was during casting for the movies.

let's be honest, that was clearly something she chose later down the line, likely in retaliation to the relatively white overall cast

I think it was to try and buy brownie points with the peeps who call her out on her TERF horse shit, but either way it was obvious retconning.

Since there are a lot of references in the game to UK heritage I think this would be a very subtle but genius way to refer to the HP universe!

Could also do Merry Poppins.
