Pre-ordered the deluxe edition today.
Should be able to pre-load sometime tonight, and then Monday night at 11pm will be able to dive in.
I think the game looks great. Hopefully I don't end up being disappointed by it.
Also, I've never read a Harry Potter book nor ever watched any of the films. But I respect that JK Rowling doesn't cower to the woke mob like so many others, and thus isn't afraid to call a dude a dude instead of whatever he identifies as.

Damn it if this game doesn't have my attention.
I really don't give a flip about HP and never did but a single player RPG with what I'm seeing in videos and favorable comparisons to Dragon Age Inquistion and so forth? I probably will end up biting on it. Hell, a single player RPG along these lines is so rare it's almost a "vote with your wallet on principle" decision.

Never read the books, but thought movies were entertaining. Got my eye on this, but I pay full price for a lot fewer games these days

Three hours in, and this is excellent so far. I am looking forward to it. 20 percent off for the PC version deluxe was too compelling for me to resist so I have to wait until 1pm Eastern and then I'm going to be into it. As far as I'm concerned my "prepare for Lightfall" work is as good as it's going to be in Destiny 2 so I'm going to be largely locked in on this.

I'm loving this. This is a very pleasant surprise.
Since I don't care about anything Harry Potter, I paid this game zero attention when it was announced. So, thank you SJW's, your incessant crying about it and boycott (lmao) of it caused me to watch the videos.

So, thank you SJW's, your incessant crying about it and boycott (lmao) of it caused me to watch the videos. It wasn't even the SJW stuff for me. It's been a drought for single player RPGs even remotely like this and it started to ping on my radar when I saw even outlets normally dedicated to games like Destiny suddenly shift gears to this it said something to me. So far I'm very happy with it. It's like a kissing cousin to Dragon Age inquisition and games along those lines so that's way overdue. I never was into HP although I have a broad passing familiarity with some of the concepts and general lore so I am coming into this with a lot less frame of reference then HP fans and so forth. I've blown several hour already just getting of the ground at Hogwart's. I did the first two quests in class to get those spells and all I've done is walk around and try and solve some of the puzzles in there while unlocking flames for fast travel, talking to people, and just taking it in. The more I play, the more impressed I get. The combat felt pretty good to me (yes, I'm using a controller) and hopefully I will get better at it yet.

Five and a half hours in and I have finally unlocked talents. Got some additional skill sets unlocked.
Combat in this is pretty great, much better than I thought it would be.
EDIT: Just unlocked the Room of Requirement, and hats off the devs (and WB)... that's exactly the kind of thing other games would have a bunch of MTX for (looking at you Assassins Creed). I'm really enjoying the pacing of this game and how things are unlocking.

I need to get my timing and knack for the combat down more. I'm out of practice with these kinds of games. It's not a fault of the combat it's just me getting used to it. I'm pretty damned impressed with this all told.

22 hours in, 84% through the main story and 40% through the challenges.
The Third Trial was great. The changing seasons in the game also great.
This game is incredible.

I'm beyond tired of this sort of BS when I'm going around looking up certain tips and such for the game.
