Not for long,

Harry's son gets sorted into Slytherin, he makes friends with Malfoy's son and is so terrible with magic that people think he's a squib

Gets bullied so badly from being Harry's son and bad at magic that it strains his relationship with his father

Shenanigans occur and he tries to show up his dad by using an advanced time turner to undo "his biggest mistake"
Oh, so it's basically Boruto.

I guess there is the point where Harry and Draco basically have a ninja fight in Harry's kitchen flipping each other over the table.

I just heard about this and watched the video. Yes. YES. Finally! I rarely get pumped for games anymore but this does it. I've been waiting 20 years for this game.

Seriously, if you cut out your last little paragraph it's a great premise. But it goes woof real fast from there

I wonder if the play made it work tbh.

The premise really is a genuinely good one. I have only ever heard amazing things about the play from critics, and I always feel like reviewers of stage plays would be the most haughty and snobbish. Could be a situation where it looks bad on paper but great in execution. I mean...the original fantastic beasts looks horrible on paper and turned out great

It certainly makes it work better than the book does, the original actors in the London show did an amazing job.

20 year anniversary of Harry Potter is on October 14. just saying.

Edit:
Apparently that's the date for Germany. Just saw a feature on Tv and they mentioned the date. So probably it's wrong.

We need to be open to the possibility this was a vertical slice for internal use and the actual game could be many years away if it even comes at all.

Well, it was early footage. You shouldn't expect it to be representative of the final game's graphics.
idk, personally, the impression i got was that it would be retaining the cartoony-esque look of the PS2 Harry Potter games. Whether some would classify that style as a bit cartoony idk. but that is what i think.

Maybe it gets a different style than that leak.

Well a cartoony style doesn't automatically mean that the game is less technically impressive or demanding and, even then, what we saw was more realistic than the visual style we saw on the PS2/GC/Xbox versions
