The Dark Arts Arena is only available to people that buy the Deluxe Edition. Kinda important to note that

People still trying to convince me I’m a bad person for buying this 😂

I haven’t read the books, and I haven’t seen the movies in probably a decade, yet I’m really excited for this game. Seems like a really interesting game, though I probably won’t be able to appreciate all the details put into the game, but I also won’t be disappointed in parts where it strays away from the source material if any

My biggest fear is enemy’s. Hopefully there is a diverse list to fight but going against trolls and the same random creatures over and over sucks. You can only make an enemy wizard do so many things to change up combat.

[wargamesmaster]

I'm still waiting for the one thing I truly care about, the kind of endings we will have. Will it be simple "dark" or "light" wizard endings? Will a "grey" ending of sorts be possible to achieve? An ending only unlockable via specific actions in the game?

[shadowlaw]

Haven't always been the biggest Harry Potter fan but this world looks amazing and immersive enough for a lover of storytelling and gaming like myself. Looking forward to this one 🤓🤗

[Beepbupbap]

the moment they showed the dark arts battle arena i knew i'd want to be a villain for my first playthrough 😂😂

[capricorn]

Knowing how I am .. I’m going to spend decades on the character creation

[WarpstonePainting]

NGL this game is actually looking really good so far. Definitely plan on buying this on release as long as early reviews don't expose some weird Cyberpunk scenario.

[minifig_studios]

I’ve been a die hard Potterhead since the age of 8, I’ve met two of the actors (Tom Felton and Evanna Lynch) and own over 20 wands . Definitely buying this game

[QaDri]

This game just screams “too good to be true” we’ll see soon enough!

[rohanmathew]

u forgot to mention that the dark arts arena is only available for players who purchase the deluxe pack, not the normal one. Basically its behind a paywall

[thomasr]

Already pre ordered the deluxe PS5 edition and don’t even have a PS5 yet 😂

[Baphelon]

I'm curious how they'll handle the goblin rebellion plot. Looks like they're framed as the bad guys, but also they do kinda have a point..? Goblins are treated as second class citizens...

[trevdc]

Only thing I'm sad about is missing out on the Playstation Exclusive quest. Looks fun and I want to play it.

[skippepper]

No playable Quiddditch game? That is an unforgivable!

[selfsch]

Considering what the devs released before this I'm still skeptical. I'll wait for the reviews this time :)

[High_Bread]

Even if its a flop imma still get it. Its the first hogwarts game without harold and his friends. I definitely wanna see the story through
