For years, Harry Potter the franchise dominated pop culture, with Hogwarts inheritance acting as the most popular adaptation of the franchise video game. No wonder the controversy around the franchise appeared at a time as the first Harry Potter The book was launched almost thirty years ago. However, it is disappointing that such a lover of pop culture has been stained in the eyes of many Potterhead, despite the new franchise content such as Hogwarts inheritancecontinuing to release.
Unfortunately, Hogwarts inheritance was incapable of degrading the name Harry Potter franchise. Although it is possible that the game was greeted with a positive response of the player and the critics, he was also the subject of boycotting at launch. Avalanche Software and Warner Bros. Games tried to reassure the fans in the game itself, but the developers' attempt was received stupid. It is clear that Avalanche Software and Warner Bros. Games cannot try to avoid controversies in the same way Hogwarts inheritance made in the supposed continuation of the game.

JK Rowling hurt Harry Potter and Hogwarts's legacy
Dragging by promoting and marketing for Hogwarts inheritance Before launch was the endless controversy around JK Rowling's transfobe comments. Rowling's comments about the trans community, in relation to the review of the portraits of color people in Harry Potter Books have essentially reduced the inheritance Harry Potter From a great in the fiction for young people to a nostalgic, but messy memory. The vast majority of Rowling's comments were posted on her X account (former Twitter), the catalyst of these opinions being publicly perceived when she liked a tweet in 2018 who described transgender women as “men in dresses”. Since then, she has constantly posted about this issue on X and has been labeled Public Terf-a trans-explicing radical feminist.
Knowing the controversial positions of JK Rowling on the Trans community determined Avalanche Software and Warner Bros. Games to include a minor transgender character in Hogwarts inheritance. Syrona Ryan is the main bartender from Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade. The game establishes that she is extremely loyal to Hogwarts and her students, as she faces Victor Rookwood in a key scene. Although it is always great to see more representation in any type of media, Sirona Ryan does not really add much to Hogwarts inheritancehis plot, apart from being a minor NPC. As such, some have seen the addition of the character as a performative representation than a significant statement against Rowling.
JK Rowling's harmful statements to the Transgender community cannot be remedied by simply adding a transgender woman to her most popular and main source of income. Honestly, there is nothing that Avalanche Software or Warner Bros. Games cannot do to avoid Rowling's controversial statements because it is likely to be never changing about the subject. But that does not mean that the developer cannot endeavor to improve the trans -brand representation Hogwarts Legacy 2Probably with the intention of avoiding the boycott of his predecessor, which was due to Rowling's statements.
Hogwarts Legacy 2 will probably adopt the same approach as its predecessor
Transgender Potterheads still exists despite Rowling's statements, so the extension of Syronic Ryan as a character could be a way in which Avalanche Software and Warner Bros. Games tries to prevent a hypothetical boycot of Hogwarts Legacy 2. This expansion should be quite large and have a real impact on the story, rather than the role of Syron Ryan in the previous game, demonstrating that the character is not a performative representation, but something more substantial.
Immediately some ideas come to mind. The role of Sirona Ryan as the main owner of Three Broomsticks could be beneficial for plot if the bar serves as a key location in Hogwarts Legacy 2. Maybe she could come again in the defense of her patrons, as the main students from the hypothetical continuation. If the game follows the way of the mystery, Sarona Ryan could act essentially that the trusted adult or archetypal mentor tends to have the mysteries led by teenagers. It could be an important mission supplier and an ally in certain tasks, appearing regularly throughout the game. Another option would be the inclusion of a transgender student as one of the protagonists or key companions in Hogwarts Legacy 2.
The statements made by JK Rowling in the last seven years on the Transgender community have unfortunately damaged a press that was once very loved. Although in the end it is limited to the fans to decide if they are willing to separate the art of artist, and Avalanche cannot clean Rowling's misery, the rear developer Hogwarts inheritance can do more than insert a trans minor character in its next game. We hope that characters like Sirona Ryan can be presented more in Hogwarts Legacy 2Together with Transgender students, to bring a sense of comfort to the Trans Potterhead who decide to try the game.
