Ok maybe I took this the wrong way. I probably shouldn't have said WoW killer, I guess I phrased what I meant a little wrong. I feel like a Harry Potter MMO could be SUCCESSFUL. There that is better worded. I agree with

I think alot of people are misunderstanding the fact that the 12 million subscribers wow has are not necessarily all MMO players, they are WoW players, kinda like me. I could never go to another MMO no matter how earthshattering it is, I am done I did my time with World of Warcraft.He is right. Not all MMO players are WoW players. The HP MMO could attract other players.

Harry Potter MMO will not work. First of all , if you go with the Hogwarts formula , everyone will start as annoying little kids. Tanking : How is this going to work ? I cant imagine a 12 year old Harry Potter clone with a stick soak up damage from something bigger than him. Damage: Since everyone is a Harry Potter clone with a stick , I guess everyone is a Mage and does ranged damage. what about melee ? Quests and killng: from what I seen in the movies , in Hogwarts they don't teach 12 year old kids how to brutally murder monsters and collect their loot for quests. Unless Dambeldor hands over knives. PVP: the whole dueling idea sounds boring as hell , gamers like to brutally murder and then Tbag each other . Raids: I feel sorry for the 12 year old Harry Potter clone who has to tank Basilisk , gonna be bloody .. unless they make it T for Teen game. Thats why I think Harry Potter MMo will fail.As for this you have the wrong idea completely. The Harry Potter series has become much darker and more adult oriented as it went on. Its not all flowers and unicorns. There is torturing, murdering, war, love, I mean everything that more mature series has. Its not gunna be all casting a spell that makes things levitate. In the movie you see the power of just teenagers and adult wizards. There are many spells that are extremely powerful. Look at Voldemort and Dumbledore's duel at the end of the 5th movie. That was badass. It doesnt have to be a light-hearted kids game. And yes you all will be mage's but you can still tank. There are spells that slow enemies down(Impdementa), provide shielding(Protego), and you can sure as hell make up more spells that will help you soak damage. I mean ITS MAGIC! If you are telling me it isnt plausible for there to be spells that will protect you and soak damage then you are crazy.
