Just finished Hogwarts Legacy and I feel the need to consume whatever that's Harry Potter

What if we could play through Harry’s story in Hogwarts Legacy’s world?

Anyone else wish they could play through the original Harry Potter stories in Hogwarts Legacy’s world?

Sweeting connection to Hogwarts Legacy?

According to JK Rowling all wizards from eastern Europe go to Durmstrang in “Harry Potter and the goblet of fire”. This confirms the theory that JK Rowling knows nothing about Eastern Europe

JK Rowling on writing her only gay character: I'm going to call this guy 'the headmaster.

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2, Harry deadnames Voldemort because he was written by JK Rowling.

Yes. The stories began as a satire on her real teachers, with which she used to amuse her classmates, so many of the staff at Hogwarts are identifiably real people. There are also many real places in the books, some by name, some under pen-names.

The biggest thing missing from Harry Potter is the cost of doing magic.

Mana pool

When building a fictional world it usually doesn’t matter how overpowered something is. You can include anything and everything, stuff that is supremely powerful beyond all reason and the world won’t be broken, if, but only IF, you also add a sufficient cost to counteract the damage.

Just to give a random example, Death Note. A magical booklet that will kill anyone whose name you write down, in the manner you describe. It’s as overpowered as it gets, but the cost of using it is you get robbed of an afterlife. You really shouldn’t use it, even though it’s really tempting.

There is no cost to doing magic in Harry Potter. It’s ill advised to use stuff like Felix Felicis, because it will make you dangerously reckless and the potion can only guarantee success if you’re actually able to pull the stunt in question off yourself. Beyond that the costs wane rapidly and it becomes more and more difficult to balance everything out. The world is just unbalanced as a result, with plenty of weird coincidences and just unexplained holes. Why do they use a magical train to get to Hogwarts, instead of Floo Powder, for example? There could be a couple of official fireplaces somewhere for those that don’t want to connect to the network, plus the exit point could easily be in Hogsmeade, as not to compromise the security of the school. It’s easier and probably a lot cheaper than a train that takes a day and needs all sorts of enchantments to remain undetected by muggles.

This is the biggest mistake in Harry Potter by far. It’s still great series, but this is a genuine gaping hole in their world.

Was J.K. Rowling inspired by anything real when she wrote the Harry Potter series?
