Throughout the past year, there's been no shortage of game delays. These delays have included high profile titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Halo Infinite, and now it seems we have one more game to add to the very long list: Hogwarts Legacy. The Harry Potter-themed role playing game was first confirmed back in September, and now it appears that it won't be here as soon as anticipated.
For quite some time now, we've been hearing rumors about a Harry Potter RPG that's being crafted by Warner Bros' Avalanche Software. The game suffered a few different leaks and has been the subject of a lot of speculation among Harry Potter fans, and today, it was finally revealed.

A new project called 'Harry Potter at Home' has tasked several celebrities with reading the first book in the Harry Potter series, giving fans something new to enjoy while isolated at home.

Minecraft is one of those strokes of genius that may have left you wondering what took so long for someone to make it. Its open-world platform has become the home for many virtual worlds, including those that tie into some existing franchise. Sometimes that becomes an official promo but, most of the time, it takes the collective effort of fans to recreate a familiar universe in the blocky world. That's exactly what is now about to burst to the public with an unofficial Harry Potter RPG that puts all the iconic places and objects of the fictional world in Minecraft.
