I know not every one is a fan but, to those who are or wouldnt mind trying it .. What do you think about the idea???

some things need to stay as they are

It would have to be like sandbox from they way I see it...but id probably play it even though i havent read a single book.

Dunno if id actually "like it"

oh lawd, save us from such a travesty as the Harry Potter MMO

It would definately work.

Plenty of ways to make it work and more then enough basic "lore" to generate a world around it.

Wouldn't surprise me if its not already in some stage of early development.

I could see it being cool as long Harry Potter was no where in the title.  Adding in brooms and stuff and recognizable places I actually. I... has potential. Its all Im saying. Potential with a capital P!

Nah... Maybe sometime in the future when you put on a helmet and gloves and connect to the internet as yourself... Then it could work as a pretty cool MMO with you having to remember wand-movements by yourself and so forth. But as of now, the game would be too complicated. Just think of the Ministry of Magic and all of their rules that would have to apply, to be true to the lore... Should everyone go to Hogwarts? Only children go there, but if you are an adult what "class" would there be for you to choose from? I'd reckon most people would want Auror to be an alternative, and then the  Death Eaters, if they still exist (haven't read the last book yet), to be their main target for PvP. And think of all the different spells and potions out there. Should you be able to learn all of them? Maybe just a few, but that again would be stupid... There's lots more to think of, but you get my point. A Harry Potter MMO would be too complex, if it were true to the lore, and too sucky if it wasn't...

Case Closed.

Just no.

Just don't see how it would work as a MMO.  In the Harry Potter world you can't just be running around killing stuff, just wouldn't fit.  So what would you be doing most of the time?  What would you do for end-game fun? 

I can see it already.... they'll copy WoW, but instead all the characters will have glasses and wands.
