    Thank you for the very detailed explanation. I knew who she was but not about any of this. I read one or two of the books when they first came out but never really got into it. Also thank you for pointing out that just because someone does not know about the thing you like, does not make them a troll. I just wanted to understand the image.

    The bathroom thing was just so stupid.

    It contradicts the lore of the books.

    The entrance to the Chamber of Secrets was literally built in a bathroom. She could have just said it was a Roman style bathroom that was later retrofitted to be modern.

    And Dumbledore let's Harry know about the Room of Requirements by telling a story about how he once needed a chamberpot. A magic chamberpot? Sure. Makes more sense than shitting himself.

    Even the actors of Harry and Hermione (not sure about others) came out and said that they would have nothing to do with a Harry Potter continuation or reboot if JK Rowling was involved

    Source on this? Curious because the only thing I can find Radcliffe saying is "I'm very excited to see what other people do with it. The comparison I've made is to a story like Sherlock Holmes. I think the Potter series of books was always gonna be bigger than one interpretation or one franchise, so it'll be cool to see the torch get passed on."

    I agree with this for the most part, but saying Hogwarts Legacy objectively sucks is just wrong. Most people liked the game, including me (although the main story plot is not great).

    Hogwarts Legacy is rife with problems and those problems are objective. It’s not based on opinion.

    It's so funny when people try to claim that their opinion is objective. Sorry bro, this is still your opinion. LOTS of people enjoyed the game, and if people enjoyed the game safe to say it did its job.

    I'm pretty sure what you're missing here is that you did give (arguably) objective descriptions of issues with the game, but it's still your opinion that these make the game a failure. Sure, it didn't meet up to your standards, but those standards are absolutely subjective.

    Lots of games are repetitive. Lots of games have no story consequences shown in the game. They still succeed at being games, even if they don't meet your standards.

    I get it, you are passionate about this, but you're mistaken at this point.

    The basic standards of a game is "is it fun". If people had fun then it served it's purpose. Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean it's an objectively bad game. I highly doubt your opinion on the game is free of external biases

    You didn't give objective reasons, you just gave some opinions about how the gameplay is repetitive. Like I said, games are meant to be fun. If someone had fun, it did not "fail to perform". The reason I believe you are biased is because you are the op of this thread lmao

    Hogwarts Legacy was a beautiful game. Sucks it's linked to JK Rowling still

    I actually think it's pretty nice but you can tell that it's been gutted a lot because of time constraints.
