It has been the dream of many a Harry Potter fan to have a triple-A Harry Potter experience on consoles, with gameplay that lets you create your own student and personal adventure. Up until now it seemed like a dream that was very far off.

But it's actually happening.

Earlier this week, a Reddit leaker released a phone recording of a trailer for an upcoming Harry Potter RPG (which has now been taken down), where you create your own student and go on adventures throughout Hogwarts and beyond. The internet collectively lost its mind over this, and rightfully so, as the game does look amazing, even in poor quality.

Several people were quick to write the video of as fake, but the information really does line up, as Avalanche Software were rumoured to be working on something much like what was leaked. Plus, Warner Bros themselves have gone on a spree removing all the leaked videos, ostensibly confirming everything we saw was real.

Even though the trailer itself is pretty short, there's a lot to pick out that might go some way to telling us what this game is about, and what we can expect.

Get your wands ready.

10. Story, Morality Systems & Timeline Placement

Alongside the trailer itself came several story details, including the fact that your character is a late entry into Hogwarts.

According to the leak, your character is a late entry Hogwarts student who comes in their fifth year. The writeup also gives us a date for the game, with it being set in the 19th century, about 100 years before Harry would join the school.

Our character is also described as being able to be 'good or evil', which might indicate some sort of morality system tied into the game. We also know that a character called "Professor Fig" will appear as a sort of mentor to your character as strange things start happening in the Forbidden Forest.

Further leaks that have come out since the trailer was shown have also indicated that the name of the game is "Harry Potter: Magic Awakened".
