Excitement is high among fans of JK Rowling's wizarding world for Hogwarts Legacy, with pre-order charts suggesting that it's going to be one of the most successful games of the year. But the decision to buy it isn't simple for everyone, and some are speaking out against it.
Search for the game online and you don't have to look far to find opposition among the excitement; a Twitter video encouraging people to boycott has amassed more than nine million views; gaming forum ResetEra has banned all mention of the game; major site GameSpot published an essay about Rowling's"anti-transgender stance"; and a fundraiser asking people to donate to a trans charity instead of buying the game has amassed more than £6,000.
