It's been established that house elves can teleport pretty much anywhere, so why not have some teleport onto Voldemort's face and stab him through the eye sockets?

this is just a reformulated version of the knight bus problem, i.e. why does nobody just run voldemort over with the teleporting bus

If I was Voldemort I would simply apparate next to Harry while he was on his annual scheduled visit to Diagon Alley and use my instant death stick to instantly cause death at him.

If Voldemort was pragmatic enough to do that, he would have simply held a pillow over baby Harry's face until he stopped moving after murdering Harry's parents.

tldr: Your character is "special" so you start as a new student in year 5
You can be in any of the Houses
the Room of Requirement is used as a kind of customizable base
the Goblin uprising is a major plot point
you have to go to classes but they don't really go into detail on how much time you're going to spend doing that
Combat looks not great. Everybody just kind of stands around and casts spells.

There will be a Goblin character who is on the wizard's side and talk about how they've gone to far and need to be stopped for the good of society, to balance things out.

willfully illiterate, aggressively miserable sourpuss whose sole raison d’etre is to put other people down for liking the wrong things
Also gotta love the most self-insert fanfic premise possible with the player character starting Hogwarts in their fifth year because of their ~mysterious~ past. Like holy poo poo this game is going to be such a shitshow.

No, you see, it's the 1800s, so it's actually okay to be a slave owner without guilt.

Spare batteries are pretty key.
The thing that's funny to me is that they could have easily just made the player do not steal OC be a transfer student from another school. But instead it's all mysterious prodigy crap.

Rowling isn't actually involved in the creation of the game and I vaguely remember the devs being against her bullshit so maybe just maybe the narrative won't be terrible (probably not though). I'll probably check the game out second hand so Rowling doesn't get any more of my money :shrug:

She's still gonna make money off the sales of the game regardless.

Honestly from what was shown off the game looks kind of vapid.

I gotta wonder if the game being delayed so long was that Rowling's nosedive in popularity made them go "oh this goblin rebellion is gonna be bad pr."

Maybe it's wizard Spec Ops: The Line and we're going to have to come to terms with casting white phosphorus at the oppressed.
