Footage leaks of a mysterious Harry Potter RPG

You can now play Harry Potter on mobile, but if you're craving something more substantial, a new leak is sure to get your pulse racing. Redditor VapeThisBro has shared footage of an apparent new RPG set within J.K. Rowling's wizarding world, starring your own custom-built character. Filmed in third-person, the clip shows a wand-waving protagonist battling goblins and walking through a town square scattered with NPCs. Hogwarts' famous hall also makes an appearance.

The fact that the polished appearance of the game shines through the low-quality video (essentially a recording of a trailer on a screen) makes it all the more exciting. According to the description, the game is set in the 19th century, with players assuming the role of a "newly arrived 5th year student to Hogwarts that demonstrates a latent gift for magic." It also mentions a new magic system that lets you craft "countless" spells and potions in an open-world setup, and also the option to "pursue a path of good or evil."

It's unclear right now whether the title is actually in development. For their part, VapeThisBro claims they stumbled upon it as part of a "focus group." There were, however, rumblings last year that Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment's subsidiary Avalanche Studios had been assigned a Harry Potter role-playing game project based on job listings. There's been no word since then on the proposed title.
