Hogwarts Legacy hasn’t been released yet, but the game is already embroiled in controversy. For those out of the loop, author J.K. Rowling has continuously expressed harmful opinions about trans people, prompting even those close to her to disavow her views. While Rowling isn’t involved with the new game, she is the creator of the Harry Potter franchise itself and many would-be players are boycotting the game as a way to show support to the trans community. At least one developer who worked on Hogwarts Legacy will be joining the boycott.
Game developer Parker Hartzler took to Twitter to explain his reasoning for boycotting the game he worked on. Hartzler worked on set as part of the motion-capture crew and states Hogwarts Legacy is the second big-budget game he has worked on. In a Twitter thread, he shares the game credits as proof he worked on the game before going on to say boycotting is “the least I can do as an ally.”
