>vast world
Barely anything is fleshed out besides things directly relevant to the story, which is itself Magic WWII.

Because it's the dullest franchise.

Because rowling is a right cunt.

the gameboy color games and the first two pc games were the shit though

I played Prisoner of Azkaban on the Gamecube, I remember it being fairly comfy but that was 13 years ago.

"No!"

why no mmo yet? it's perfect for that!

theres gmod harry pothead rp servers

>Vast
>Takes place in one castle

>early games were fun little platformers
>later games were Gears of Potter
what happened?

The author is an sjw. The source is tainted. No fruit can be borne of a bitter tree and expected to be sweet.

WB Games broke af dats why

neat. if only i had a decent pc

FLIPENDO

The series had good games up until the third book
The console multiplats were fine and the GBC/GBA RPGs were surprisingly good

Not necessarily true, everything in 40k is meant to be "wouldn't this be completely terrible" ironic but people enjoy it unironically. Harry Potter is just bad, SJW author or not.
Some of the games are okay though. Mostly the GBC ones.

How shit Is your pc that it can't run gmod?

The philosophers stone game on GB colour was pretty dope when I was in 4th grade.

The guys who created 40k were okay with people having a different interpretation of their materials. Rowling does not.

It was definitely fleshed out enough, the wiki is pretty comprehensive

victim of the times
I know there's got to be a really good existing system that would work with it, though

Nobody could synthesize a good game out of one of the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

>tfw there will never be a GTA: Hogwarts

>a fan edited and run wiki that's mostly headcanon.

Took someone long enough

True. Nothing is really canon in 40k so you can read it however you want. Meanwhile Rowling tries to ride the series long after it's over which means lots of word of god canon fuckery based on how she's feeling when she opens up Twitter today.

haven't tried. just assuming

It depends on the server and how autistic they take things, but gmod is old enough to run well on almost all pcs built within the last ten years. Just keep AA off and shadows very low and you should be fine.

she ex-post-facto made dumbledore a homo for brownie points.
not a single passage in the books was written with him being gay in mind

The games based on the first three books were great. LEGO games were pretty good too.
Everything else was just a shitty movie tie-in.

Didn't she retcon that again recently?

I remember goblet of fire, order of the phoenix and chamber of secrets being kino

You must be a real pussy magnet in literature class.

>probably correct

not to my knowing

What are you talking about, faggot? Harry Potter 1&2 got good games on 5 different platforms: PC, GBC, GBA, Ps1, PS2, and GC/Xbox. Yes these are all different versions and none of them are the same game

Rowling hate games, and hate the thought of anyone doing anything to her franchise without her control.
The original movie games were just outsourced license games that probably one got made thanks to Rowling not reading the contract properly.

Play the first three games on PC.
They were great. The first one was a bit clunky, but all those problems get fixed by the second game.

Because it doesn't have enough killing in it and the majority of the characters are children. These are major limitations for a game adaptation of the universe.

And evidence that this graph is horse shit and ps2 stands alone against GameCube/Xbox

The first games were extremely comfy.

I mean, what a meme, just mentioning something about gay once doesn't make one an actual sjw. and the books are good regardless of the tidbit where she mentions a character being gay later.

How has there not been a Tycoon style game based on managing a school of magic?

>yfw you remember Cursed Child is a thing

I imagine a reskin of dragon's dogma

No, but she might as well have. The new film isn't going to have any mention, like at all, of Dumbledore's sexuality in a movie literally focusing on him and Grindelwald. I'm no SJW but it seems kind of disingenuous to say a character is gay and then refuse to follow through on anything that could remotely confirm ot other than word of god.

hp had great games already.
now that new spin off prequel movie where the guy collects monsters maybe you could do something with that.

Lego Harry Potter was okay

Also extremely comfy in couch co-op.

Because everything has to be Harry Potter related. They won't just make a game in the Harry Potter world.

I thought about making a text based Harry Potter game where you would manage the life of a student. But in the end I wouldn't enjoy playing it, because I'd know everything.

Can't stand any Lego games. They are like non games. There are not even puzzles to complete or levels to navigate. You move forward and press one button to win everything

:/

Basically this. They would need Rowling to supervise it closely, or better yet people who can actually write reasons people don't do X or Y constantly.
>Luck potion only takes ingredients, easy enough apparently that Harry makes it by following a guide
Everyone should be drinking these every movie. They don't since Rowling wrote it by the moment in many cases of specific magic spells or potions.

The first 2 PC games were insanely comfy

It may get soon.
Rowling's failed political campaign made her nearly broke, so now she is signing Harry Potter contracts left and right, because her other shit doesn't sell as well as she has hoped to.

Um, what? Did you read any of the Geindelwald/Dumbledore stuff in DH? Because that’s all straight up gay.

Rocksteady are working on a trilogy of games that span the storyline of the 7 books. Being announced at E3. AMA

Why you lie on the internet?

Wait and see.

>7 books crammed into 3 games
>Bamham combat
Don't even want it.

Felix Felicious was given to him by his professor, one of the best people at potions around, he didn’t make it. The professor made it. And they only even learned about it in Advanced Potions in their 6th year. It’s not something your layman even knows about and even then, they’d have a hard time making it.

>talking about edgy shit with your bro is gay

By that logic everyone on Sup Forums is a faggot.

what the fuck has she even done after harry potter?
after that she just kinda vanished of the face of the earth and I have never heard of her releasing anything else

Apparently she refused to make him openly gay in the next Fantastic Beasts movie and SJWs are fucking pissed now.

this
third one was fun too, it went downhill with GoF

FLIPENDO!

>The count of Monte Cristo
>God tier

>you never are going to fuck your friend's younger sister

This. I love autistic collectathons but LEGO games are just so piss easy that I have no desire to play them even though I feel like I'm supposed to love them.

i did

She wrote a mystery whodunit under a pseudonyme which tended the shelves, so somebody "leaked" that it was actually her, which predictably rose the sale somewhat, but not much.
Her best book was 3, after that the magic was gone.

What's Cursed Child even about? I heard it was retarded.

I thought she was a left cunt

it was written by someone else with supposedly minimal interference by rowling. Also yes, its retarded and also a screenplay script.

Harry's kid goes to Hogwarts and becomes bffs with Malfoy's kid, but everyone thinks Malfoy's boy is the bastard child of Voldemort.

The trolley granny on the Hogwarts turns out to be a ghost T-1000.

Hermione is the Minister of Magic.

Harry goes back in time to the night of his parents' murder with the Time Turner and uses Polyjuice to become Voldemort.

That's all I remember from it.

>Everyone on Sup Forums is a faggot.
He doesn't know

Ravenclaw is best house and you can't prove me wrong.

*The candy-selling trolley granny on the Hogwarts Express

Reads like fanfic...

>no Ayn Rand

thank fuck that piece of trash is being forgotten

It is fanfic. Rowling just gave it the green light.

The book villain is literally just evil racist redneck.

In the books there was something about the confidence-boosting given by the potion being dangerous if taken for a prolonged time from what I remember, she often explains the reasons

in today's society, the more demonizing of this group the better

1 on PC was great but I can't get it to work on windows 7 very well
2 was good too

more like
>Bully: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

well, well, well, if it isn't the "famous" harry potter.

Literally opened the thread just to search for this

Interesting
I played the PS1 version of HP1 and the GBA version of HP2
did not know that there were to many versions.

the first one works fine on my PC on win7
crack it, enable compatibility mode and you should be fine

>PoA
>best one
I see you're a man of culture as well

>Hermione is the Minister of Magic.
I mean that makes sense, doesn't it?

>wears purple robes
>not gay

>Harry goes back in time to the night of his parents' murder with the Time Turner and uses Polyjuice to become Voldemort.
For what fucking purpose? Also, how could he be the bastard son of Voldemort when Voldemort died in year 7. Unless he and Ginny started pumping out kids right then and there

Nice bait. Tolkien, the scholar, wrote bottom tier material. Super kek. I bet you've read almost none of your God-Tier

Yeah, but I was just telling all I remember.

Malfoy's kid, whatever

>tfw harry potter gbc 2 comes with its own quidditch simulator

Could have made a great rpg for sure. Still a chance.
