It could fit in so easily with your years at hogwarts being the complete level system. Being a witch, werewolf, deatheater, or wizard as your classes. Make potions, learn new spells, and go off and fight Voldomort.

Idk about you guys, but that's an MMO that would be dope.

Who's with me?

I was just thinking about a Harry Potter MMO the other day. I think it would be sweet, as long as it is better than the Harry Potter movie based games

Yea, I'm not a big fan of the games. They add a lot of pointless gimmicks to it. I wonder what they will do with the next game based on Deathly Hallows, since the movie will be split into 2...wonder if they game will be split into 2.

No. There's something called a Uniform that everyone has to wear, it's would be worse than that star trek MMO.

You could specialize in different abilities. Actually Sarcastic gamer had a blog post on this a while back.

Not a big Harry Potter fan myself. The only MMO's i want are The Old Republic and a Pokemon MMO. Nothing else interests me MMO wise. Except a City of Heroes 2.

Richard Garriott tried to make one 10 years ago, even before the movies were made. It was cancelled one-year into development.

Harry Potter should only appear in books and movies. Nothing more.

*raises hand* probably one of many reasons I loved HP COS so much. ( all the other games in the HP series were terrible though...)

Why would they even attempt to make a Harry Potter MMO ten years ago if the series was just being set up?

Can you just imagine the quests?

Go do homework...
Bother Snape...
Go get wand from store...
Play Quidditch...
Attend class...

If they do it right, could be fun.

@Br3adfan:
The books were pretty big at the time. Let me say that again: the books were fucking huge. Harry Potter was like The da Vinci Code of the 90s. And Garriott was British and worked for EA. That's actually how EA ended up with the Harry Potter rights.

I think a Harry Potter MMO would be boring. Just like the last movie. Two and a half hours... and NOTHING happened.

I have an interest in the series.....(PSST!!!....look at the left column of the page!!!) ....and I support this idea. A HP MMO has always been an idea I have had and, if it was made, I would definitely try it out. However, classes should not be the main focus, but instead on social interaction and battling. Dueling could be a regular activity, but, unfortunately, the series was not battle-after-battle but instead usually one to two fight scenes a book (seventh is exception obviously). Nonetheless, I am sure they could do something with it and, damn, people will play it.

That's the biggest draw of this idea! I'm not sure what would make up the classes or anything like that, but I've always thought Harry Potter had a great universe with great locations and characters. I'd love to see an Harry Potter MMO. I think a property like this would have been a great direction for some of those more kid-oriented MMOs like Free Realms.

They would have to wait until they finished the Deathly Hollows game until they could start even thinking about a Harry Potter MMORPG. Also everyone should either be a wizard that has to choose between Harry's side and Voldemort's side.

I agree. That would be cool; the only problem I see is that Voldemort's side (SPOILERS, whatevs) eventually dies in the story so would they suspend the story or just forget about those details? Harry Potter is an interesting concept for a game that I would love to see happen in MMO form.

Sorry to bump up an old thread but I just wanted to point out that Gamespot's Kevin Vanord actually made a design document for a Harry Potter MMO before he was an editor there. It was for the Developer for a day contest at GS which used to turn up some amazing entries. Its too bad no one picked up on his idea because I thought it was brilliant.
