The announcement trailer for Hogwarts Legacy puts a strong emphasis on history, and the impact one's actions have on the future.

The author became the center of a whirlwind of controversy for transphobic comments she made on Twitter, and for doubling down on her intolerant viewpoint in a long essay published after the criticisms started rolling
