They might be better off making a really good single player Harry Potter game. As an MMO I just see a lot of spell grinding and unrealistic I-Win buttons.

I hope not - I absolutely abhor the entire Harry potter franchise - books movies it is all horrible to me. The sooner the world moves on and forgets about the whole potter saga the better.

I think it could definitely be a hit. However, because of the background and IP, it would naturally fit into a kid MMO. Either way, I wouldn't play it. Just not my cup of tea.

Just because a fantasy world worked as a book it doesn't mean it'd translate into an MMO. The Magic Kindom of Landover, Discworld and The Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy are all great book/movie IPs as well. Call me "unimaginative" if you want but an MMO made from any of those would suck...same for Harry.
If someone proposes it, run as fast as you can in the opposite direction: it'd take a lot of money to access the IP rights to begin with and most of the dev. budget would go there. We all know that this means you'd get WOW-lite in a Potter skin with multi-million dollar ad campaings. |

It *could* work, but it never will. You know the only game they would make would be a dumbed down piece of shit targeted towards 12 year olds.
