The setting is pretty succinctly set up early on, with basically all you need to know being that magic can do anything, and therefore magic is used for EVERYTHING. It's an entirely game original plot, set about 200 years before the actual series, so you don't have that awkward issue of "the adaptation has glossed over critical plot details because they assume you've read the books" like the movies had (no, seriously, a few of the movies cut PLOT CRITICAL scenes and the movie only makes sense if you've read the books lol). So far it seems like being a fan of the source material is optional, and perhaps even a detriment insofar as it might test your tolerance for how many winks and nudges you can take in a short timespan.įrom my playtime so far, I don't think jumping in fresh would be an issue. HOWEVER.for someone fresh to the franchise I think the more nostalgia bait-y aspects would fly over your head (there is zero reason to be attached to the fact that there's a Professor Weasley or that the headmaster of the school is one of Sirius's ancestors) and the chanical bits acts as a great introduction to how things work in the wizarding world. Like I get it, this is the first really big AAA game based on the franchise, they want to nostalgia bait as much as possible. etc.Īs someone familiar with the source material, I found it obtrusive. I think the only annoying thing so far is definitely the early game has a lot *nudge nudge* "Hey do you remember this thing? Apparation? Accio? Portkeys? Weasleys and Blacks?" etc.
