Several new Harry Potter games could be on the horizon as Warner Bros plans to lend its IPs to other developers.
Warner Bros has a lot of big names at its disposal, like The Lord The Rings, DC characters like Batman and Wonder Woman, and, of course, Harry Potter.
Check out the next Harry Potter game on the way, Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, below

However the last few games of those respective properties have been a little hit or miss.
Take Hogwarts Legacy for example, a great game bogged down by controversy with J.K Rowling and a lack of new content, and then there’s Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League which killed its own chances of success by going live-service.
Now it seems like Warner Bros has had enough and is now planning to hand its various IPs off to other developers for new games to be made, hopefully successful ones.
The CEO of Warner Bros David Zaslav and president of global streaming and games JB Perrette recently spoke about the idea.
Zaslav said: “We have 11 studios here, and we have a lot of IP … and there’s a lot of interest among others in coming to take advantage of some of that IP for gaming, which we’re looking at.”
Perette then said: “We continue to be strong believers in the game space, we want to continue to see and figure out how we lean into it and get bigger in that space.”
Whether the reception to Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions justifies or conflicts with this decision is yet to be seen, but in many ways it would make sense.
While this could open the door to more Harry Potter games, potentially some remakes of the older titles based on the books/films, it could also lead to new DC games, as well as Lord Of The Rings.
The latter could definitely do with a new game, especially after the absolute disaster of Gollum last year…
