I've heard off hand the murder only dresses as a woman to kill one specific victim, because otherwise she would recognize him.

But don't just take my word for it.
You should also look up who Robert Galbraith is, besides her pseudonym for said book.

But what do we know about this character? Is it an actual trans person or a cis person who tries to disguise themselves as a woman?

I'm just saying, but if you yourself aren't even aware if the book has been released then maybe don't label it as transphobic?

I understand the transphobic trope like Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs, but do we know for a fact that it meets that threshold?

Yeah, I'm having a feeling the answer might be a bit more nuanced. I don't blame people for jumping on Jk Rowling though because she has in the past said some stuff that does come off as transphobic. But we will see.

I thought the trailer looked amazing, but Ill wait for more details about the gameplay before I decide. More excited for this than I have been for any other Harry Potter piece of media released since Deathly Hallows though, there is sooo much potential for stories in the pre-Voldemort time.

My expectations are probably way too high, but it would be amazing if this is like the KOTOR or Star Wars

Basically, otherwise leftist feminists who don't think transwomen are real women.

That does make me wonder. In the West, what does it even mean to be a real woman?

I know what the traditional definition would be, but critics would point out that its based on gender roles influenced by the patriarchy. Likewise, real man would also be open to interpretation.

Random Question, i didnt see EA in the trailer.. did they lose the license?

I distinctly remember EA being the publisher of games built around the 8 Movies.

Or atleast the first 4.

I think WB has their own gaming division (the only major movie studio so far to have one) and were able to get the rights back.

A vast majority of Potter fans are simply seperating the art from the artist. It just depends on if they want to give Rowling more money or not.

Im not entirely sure on how licensing works, but its possible Warnerbros just bought the license from her for a ludicrous amount of money, and can then do, and earn, whatever they want to

Or just give her a flat sum at specific times of year.

Again, not my specialty, but i somehow dont think that anyone buying this game is putting money in her Pockets, not like she would need it.

The older Harry Potter games, the ones that where less accurate to the books/Movies (Firecrabs, boss fights, Hermione making a tiny dragon that can breathe fire to do puzzles) where better IMO, and i got a similar vibe to them from the trailer.

This also isnt directly an adaptation of something else, just the HP Universe.

Given I'm not going to buy the book and give her money I can only go off reviews of people who have read the book and that's what they've claimed.

You aren't even aware if the book has been released so how are you aware that others have read it?

I was under the assumption that we've only been given a brief description as to what the book is supposed to be about.

Rowling has been on a anti trans kick recently.

At least the last 9 years isn't exactly recent. Unless you mean her weaponizing somehow being victimized by trans women because she doesn't want them to exist in which case, 4 years.

Oh shit, I didn't even know they made a GBC version of the Harry Potter games. I was mostly talking about the gameboy advance games and the console versions. I'll definitely will try out the gbc versions of Harry Potter 1 and 2 because I remember really liking the Prisoner of Azkaban one for the gameboy advance.

The ps1 games are.. not sure what genre adventure/platformers?

Ps2 versions of the first 3 are clones of something i forgot

You bind spells to the face buttons and pressing said button uses it.

I don't get why people hate the book just because the serial killer is transexual. Can transsexuals not be serial killers? Is the book saying all transsexuals are serial killers? Like I don't get the issue. What if the serial killer was black? Doe that make her racist? I really don't get why people are so upset with her over this book.

Because JK Rowling hates trans people and just so happened to write a serial killer that dresses up as the opposite sex at the same time. It's like if you were under fire for saying questionable things about black people and turned around and wrote one as a serial killer of white people. It does not seem like coincidence.
