I’m sorry to keep snarking on you, Hogwarts Mystery, I really am. What the heck happened to poor old Hagrid’s face in the PS1 days? Why are we playing as Gilderoy Lockhart, of all people? Which game became a strange, magical third-person shooter? Grab your wands and buckle up for 25 Things In The Harry Potter Video Games That Make No Sense. Most importantly, some have been completely and utterly bizarre.
Some have stuck to the plot of the related book, some have veered all the way off. Naturally, there have been games for every novel in the Harry Potter series, released on just about every system in existence (at the time). The Arkham games, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and the like have helped redeem them a bit, but gamers have long memories, and Superman 64 really was just that bad. After all, everyone knows that licensed titles have a bit of a… well, awful reputation. In the gaming world, the Harry Potter franchise has been a bit of a mixed bag. So are all of the memes, fanfics, and everything else we do when we just cannot let go. The hype around the Fantastic Beasts movies is as strong as ever. Still is, as anyone in the fandom will tell you. There I was back in 2007, though, eagerly waiting to pick up my copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, super sad that this was the last one.
That was a tough one to see coming, wasn’t it? I sure as heck couldn’t have seen myself lining up outside bookstores at midnight before this series came along, let me tell you.
