Boycotting Hogwarts Legacy over JK Rowling’s transgender comments won’t achieve much – but it’s no surprise fans are considering it.

discloses that Rowling had no direct involvement in the creation of the game. However, it is a reasonable assumption that Rowling will still profit from sales of the game., said she believes Rowling’s trans comments “have had some effect on the level of excitement” for the prospective Harry Potter RPG. “We’ve seen comments from fans who no longer wish to support Rowling or the brand financially,” she added.

Just admit that you like Harry Potter more than you value human rights, it's embarrassing to watch you centrists dance around this. 'We're not bigots but...' No, you are bigots.

What a rag

The main thing it's achieving is opening up people's eyes to the conflicts between womens rights and trans rights, and how ridiculous the trans activist side is being. Its a great help to women, so thank you.

She had nothing to do with the creation of this game other than licence a property to which the developers put in all the work. I don't care about Harry Potter, but people are being very foolish during these times. They need to get wise and look to enhancing the world around them

Boycotting something that was written or made years ago only makes it more popular. These people are dim.

Some fans maybe considering it.

Hitler could make a game and if it’s good I’d play it 😂👌🏼

gaming gaymer LouisChilton Re: boycotting Rowling-inspired ps5 game, consider: If you were lgbt, and a games dev, and one day required by your boss to develop a game that comes with anti-lgbt baggage, would you do it? The word 'Boycotting' trivialises the wider topic here.

she got your kids to buy wands as you paid for the movie were those same kids being greta no they were paving the way for fandom giving themselves your $'s time away to strangers. who change laws cure people no stars who wear bikini's and make millions when do we find ourselves?

A VIDEO GAME OH MY GAWD video games like gambling have slipped under the radar of all the govt watch dogs therefore they cause the most demonic effects. you can't say she's not into the dark stuff when it's all she churns out. fck knows why she's giving trans a good kicking.

It certainly won't achieve anything, beyond demonstrating how petty some ideologues can be.

I’ll buy this game just to piss the pronouns off

People can boycott if they want, they are free to do so. But they must understand that it's not because she isn't thinking the same way as them that it means they can send death threats to her. If you wish to change minds and hearts, do it with the power of your arguments.

zzzzzz

All four of them!
