Is Harry Potter Author J.K. Rowling Entitled to Make Money From Hogwarts Legacy?

Officials stated, “J.K. Rowling is not directly involved in the development of the game, however, her extraordinary body of writing is the foundation of all projects in the Wizarding World.” 

Despite the basis of the game being Rowling’s best-selling books, the game will not be “direct adaptions” of the books or the movies. However, the magical world created by Rowling will play a large role in-game. Allowing players to explore the wizarding world from a new perspective.

Additionally, Hogwarts Legacy will also “adhere to the Wizarding World lore.” Essentially meaning players can expect to see intricate details in-game that are inspired by the books. Interestingly, the single-player RPG takes place in the 1800s, before the events in the books transpired. Making way for developers to create their own story in the form of an RPG that will take players on a journey through their favorite childhood books and movies.

Hogwarts Legacy launches in 2022 on the PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox One X, and PC. It will launch under the Portkey Games banner, owned by Warner Bros.
