So fricking interesting that..

[Hinamina]

there wasnt even a single blonde white kid in the trailer.

Edit: I am so sick of people being bad faith everytime a company PoC-washes characters and people call that out. No, its not anti-progrssive. No, calling it out is not racist. No, i dont believe in some kind of white replacement theory, im not even white myself. But what Hogwarts Legacy is doing is bullcrap.

Sure, if by "a lot" you mean more than 3 and less than 5 in an 14 minute video full of POC in 1800. Where did they all go? The books and movies whitewashed them? lmao

Devs knew the 8 blonde white kids crying out would be alot easier to deal with on social media than the minority soldiers.

How can you retroactively POC-wash so many white students when theres literally canon material where it is clearly shown that minorities were minorities? Except like 200 years earlier in the same setting like the game markets? You market being stupid for more sales? Very progressive, indeed.

[Mythical Ostrich]

The diversity is pretty off-putting, true. It comes off as forced and not realistic to the time. Hopefully it was just for the trailer,

[copperzinc]

I'd agree. In the 1800s England, that type of racial diversity seems to be rather forced.

Especially all the purebloods still very much in control of all levers of government in 1990s.

Edit: Hmm...
The situation may not be as unrealistic as we consider the wars and famine during the time. And unlike the muggle schools, every kid must enroll in a magical school to avoid breach of statue of secrecy. So it *might* make sense to have a more diverse population than a muggle school in the same area at the same time. Not sure now xD.

[GrandMajora]

Just a reminder, that Hogwarts is not the only magical school on the planet, which young witches and wizards have to attend.

Just a quick Google search has revealed to me that the following schools are confirmed:

Hogwarts (located in Scotland)

Beauxbatons (located in France)

Castelobruxo (located in Central Brazil)

Durmstrang Institute (located in Northern Europe)

Livermorny (located in Eastern North America)

Mahoutokoro (located in Japan)

Uagadou (located in Uganda)

What does this mean for the setting, you might ask? Well for starters, it means people who would have no historically accurate reason to be present in the game actually have a justifiable explanation for their absence.

Why the heck does Natsai-Onai, or whatever that girl's name is, have a distinctly African accent, if she's attending Hogwarts? Shouldn't she be attending Uagadou, which would have been located much closer to home, than sending her off to school on another continent?

As long as I don't have to play the male Zendaya they showed in the trailer and I can create my own character, I'm cool.

I'm not white and I'm sick of these woke propaganda antics in every game I play.

[Castyles]

I also noticed it (hard not to).

Just hope it feels organic and natural, in-game, instead of forced.

[aeternox]

idc too much about other npcs, as long as I can make my own customizable char

I am, quite honestly, disappointed with you people.

The fact that somebody has to actually confirm for you that the Character Creator system will allow you to choose your skin color... That should be a conclusion you come to on your own, using common sense.

You don't even understand what the topic is about and i am amazed that you could pull that off when there's only 12 posts in this thread.

I was addressing the last 3 posts or so on this topic, not the whole topic itself.

My bad, i misunderstood. It looked to me like you either didn't understand the topic or that you intentionally tried to frame what the discussion is about. To my defense, only MrRedman seems to 100% not know that there will be a character creator.
