JK Rowling is public enemy #1 to the trans community. No well known celebrity has raised their ire like Rowling, who has merely said there is a difference between men acting like women and y’know, actual women.
Don’t get me wrong. Rowling is a leftie but she’s a feminist who believes that there is a difference between men and women. Crazy, huh? But Rowling is the target of the twitterati. The LGBT community has focused intensely on Rowling.
Sooooo…what’s happened to the launch of the latest Harry Potter video game in the face of this brutal cancellation?
It is the biggest launch for any Harry Potter game ever, with sales 64% higher than the previous best — Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone from 2001. In fact, the biggest week for a Harry Potter game wasn’t a launch week at all, it was the second week of the Philosopher’s Stone (due to hype around the movie). Even compared to that week, Hogwarts Legacy was still bigger by 2%.
This result is more impressive when you consider this is just for physical sales. Hogwarts Legacy would have received a substantial number of digital downloads (that data will come later in the week), whereas Philosopher’s Stone didn’t have any digital sales back in 2001. Therefore, the success will be even more pronounced once all the data is in…
Compared to last year’s big fantasy release, which was Elden Ring, Hogwarts Legacy’s first week sales are up 80%.
Here’s the lesson. Twitter is not real life. It is a tempest in a tea cup. The left has taken over online media and Big Media trumpets their every accusation but in the end they are merely a very weird minority who can only win if we let them.
Don’t let them.
