Footage of Harry Potter RPG Possibly Leaked

Update: 

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has claimed the video below. This lends more credibility towards it being real. You can still view the footage at this mirror link.

Original Story:

Early footage of what appears to be a Harry Potter RPG has leaked. YouTube user RastaPasta uploaded a video of offscreen footage from the game. According to Press Start, this leaked by way of a focus group in America.

It’s important to note that all of this is technically unconfirmed. With that said, if this is in fact a forgery, it’s incredibly well done. Since the game would inevitably be published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, it seems likely that Avalanche Software are the ones developing it.

Here’s the description they provided:

While there have been a number of Harry Potter games over the years, they’ve always been of mixed quality and reception at absolute best. If this is real, I imagine an announcement will be coming sometime in the near future. With the next Fantastic Beasts film releasing this November, a game announcement around then, whether at the upcoming Xbox event X018 or the Game Awards, would make sense. We’ll keep digging for more information in the meantime.
