Electronic Arts nearly made a Harry Potter MMO but decided to cancel the project due to "changes" at the publisher and a lack of faith in the Harry Potter brand remaining popular, apparently.

This information comes from Kim Salzer, the former director of product marketing at EA (2000-2003). During a recent interview with The Real Brandolorian, Salzer was asked to comment on canceled projects, and she mentioned the Harry Potter game.

May have been a bad decision for EA but it sure is a good decision for the rest of us not to have EA shitting out a harry potter MMO

A Harry Potter MMO from 2003 would probably be garbage and get destroyed by WOW

To be fair EA was still pretty good in the early 2000s

Nah, that was a good decision. The Wizarding World IP wasn't as fleshed out yet, and MMO oversaturation during that time was risky. This was also around the same time Warhammer Online flopped, so I don't blame them
