I guess the acceptance of transphobia shouldn’t be too surprising. Characters of colour tend to be given stereotypical traits and caricaturish names to match, but fans have handwaved that way for years. They’re not the most original (the blank everyman, the smart and bossy girl, the dim but brave sidekick), but they are excellent executions of old tropes. Her follow-up novels to Harry Potter have not necessarily proven her consistency, but within Harry Potter itself she struck gold and kept on digging.

Oh, and before the ‘HoW iS sHe EvEn TrAnSpHoBiC’ crowd pipe up with their deliberate ignorance, you should probably read this, and this, and the sources contained within them, and of course then continue to ignore them. That still makes them passively transphobic, but they aren’t engrossed in the world of Hogwarts or desperate to buy the Harry Potter game because of JK Rowling - for many of them, it’s despite her. They were on the Harry Potter train before Rowling revealed that side of herself, and now the Hogwarts Express has arrived at bigotville, they don’t want to get off. Many of those who defend Rowling’s transphobia, or at least don’t consider it a dealbreaker, aren’t actively transphobic. I know that you do not, under any circumstances, ‘gotta hand it to her’, but I gotta hand it to her - Rowling writes characters well.
I gulp, look down at the wet, grey sock, the slow, gloopy drip sliding down the toe, and stare my kidnappers dead in the eye: “She writes good characters.” These particularly cruel kidnappers tell me they’ll let me go on one condition: I have to say one nice thing about JK Rowling. With Hogwarts Legacy set to come out in December, we will hopefully get some more reveals and an exact release date soon.Imagine I’m being held hostage, with a knife at my throat, a gun to my chest, and a slightly damp sock ready to be slid onto my foot. While there wasn’t a lot of new information, it is still cool for some fans to get a glimpse of the process behind the game’s development. It was also confirmed that he is a Slytherin. And, while there was nothing major revealed, we did get a new look at the character customization for the game, as well as a conformation that the name of the professor we saw during the State of Play video is Abraham Ronan.
There were also a few new screenshots from the presentation. And, hey, we may even be able to get Highwing as a mount for completing this mission. This could likely be a quest that you can take to bond with Natsai and learn more about her. While helping her find evidence for something mysterious (against those who appear to be poachers), you find out that the Hippogriph Highwing, who has a connection to the main character, is being trapped there.Īt the end of the cinematic, Natsai and the main character get separated, presumably as the mission begins in the game. In a new cinematic, we get to see what appears to be the beginning of a mission where you need to help one of your companions, Natsai Onai. While the presentation mostly focused on how the game is being made, we did get some new information: in particular, the names of a couple of the characters.
