The release of Hogwarts Legacy has divided gamers and Harry Potter fans alike due to the controversial views of the franchise’s author JK Rowling, who has been heavily criticized for her anti-trans stance.

While Hogwarts Legacy is controversial, it is set to sell many copies, topping the charts across multiple platforms ahead of its release this week.
