Hold onto your sorting hats Harry Potter fans do we have a top ten for you!
My name is Johnny Rogers your Gryffindor guide to the Top 10 Things We Want From A Harry
Potter RPG
For those of you who dont know RPG means role-playing game in which each participant assumes the
role of a character, generally in a fantasy or science fiction setting, that can interact
within the game's imaginary world.
Now that we have that out of the way lets get started
#10 Create A Character As a fan of past Harry Potter games we havent
really had the opportunity to customize your own wizard, but for fans it has always been
something that made sense for them to do.
Well guess what Potter-Heads
It seems as though in this Harry Potter mobile RPG we can look forward to making a decision
as to what house we want to belong to, but more importantly this Harry Potter RPG gets
right down to the nitty gritty with the ability to customize everything from your characters
head shape, to their hair and even what they wear.
This could lead to a very cool creator community of different wizards with even the possibility
of creating a Daniel Radcliffe look-a-like.
#9 Proper Sorting Hat Now in the clip we showed before it looks
like you can choose your own house.
I don’t know if Im the biggest fan of this mainly because it gives too much power to
the user and pulls away from the starting point of the plot of Harry Potter.
I want to see a game that holds true to the story in the sense that you have no control
over which house you belong to.
Something like a personality test or a sorting code that bases your house off the type of
character you build.
For example if you choose blonde hair blue eyes its off to slytherin.
Just jokes kids.
#8 Quidditch Match What would a Harry Potter game be without
a Quidditch match.
In previous games most notably the PS2 version of Harry Potter Quiddtch World Cup we got
a very cool game circulated around catching that golden snitch
Sadly I dont know if Quidditch will be in the new game, but Ill take a mini game or
a challenge mode.
It would be awesome to go head to head with other users on the mobile app.
#7 Updated Graphics The Harry Potter games released in the early
2000’s definitely reflect the technology of the time with clunky looking graphics.
Even though this is a mobile game, it is still 2018.
So Im hoping for the best possible quality they can get for operating on Android and
iOS.
Better graphics just allow the game to become more immersive and keep gamers engaged while
playing.
So cross your fingers.
I have seen leaked images of another Harry Potter game coming out called Wizards Unite
and even in the leaks it looks like that game will have some stellar graphics.
(show any still from site
For the mobile game titled Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery Im only expecting as much as we can
from a game on your phone.
#6 Fantastical Beasts With the book release of Fantastic Beasts
and where to find them in 2001 by author JK Rowling we got an in depth introduction to
the wizard worlds magizoology and a description of 85 magical species.
I would love to see some fantastic beasts incorporated into an RPG of Harry Potter.
They could be used in a plethora of ways from discovering them, to studying them and even
going toe-to-toe with one perhaps for a boss mode.
It is speculated in the leaks that these fantastical beasts will be included into the 3rd person
RPG of Harry Potter called Wizards Unite
#5 New Locations If youre a fan of the Harry Potter series
then you probably have a pretty good idea of all the possible locations that have been
involved within the series.
Ranging from Hogwarts to Diagon Alley, but what would be amazing is if this game allows
the discovery of new wizard world territory.
In the series weve already had the opportunity to bear witness to 50 unique locations, but
hopefully we see some new ones in the RPG.
#4 Potions The importance of potions is a key attribute
to any great Harry Potter game and can influence a number of different elements the game can
offer.
We see potions constantly used throughout the series most notably in Harry Potter and
the Half-Blood Prince where Harry uses the potion, textbook if you will, from the Half-Blood
prince himself.
Allowing him to outsmart even Hermione, but be careful because used incorrectly it can
backfire (play video 0:50-0:54 In the mobile game it is confirmed that we will be able
to attend a potions class and gain experience through a star rated system so cool
#3 Spells Yikes that looks like it hurt.
Lets hope that in the new RPG we have some sort of ability to attend classes so we dont
pull a Ron Weasley.
Having the accessibility of a list of spells your character can equip and develop would
be a dream come true.
Lets hope theyre not pre-equipped and that the learning of important spells can be something
that gamers can build over time.
This would create a very unique aspect because it can be based on so many different things.
For example if your house is Griffindor your motive for learning certain spells will be
much different than someone who is with Slytherin.
Which brings us to
#2 Good or Evil How awesome would that be.
Really having the decision to take your character in different directions playing out alternate
realities within the game.
Kinda like a choose your own adventure meets Harry Potter.
It would also allow users to see new storylines that stray away from the original series,
but ones we wonder about as the movies typically follow the heros journey.
Lastly at our
#1 spot A Sandbox Game A sandbox game is a free roam style similar
to what we have seen from Rockstar games in the Grand theft auto series.
Now imagine a sandbox style game that took place in the Wizard World.
I personally would enjoy seeing something that related to another Rockstar classic the
game bully, that gives the gamer the choice of attending classes or just roaming around.
It would be a match made in heaven if we had a Harry Potter sandbox style RPG that left
everything up to the players imagination.
From time spent in class learning spells and potions to skipping class to follow other
adventures around the immersive world that is Harry Potter.
