Hey everyone, I just started programming and had an idea for a game but im nowhere near the point to be able to program this type of game. But I know yall can. I dont care how old I am I love the Harry Potter series. Okay, its a HP mmorpg as you can see in the title. Its just like any other mmorpg, you make your character and start living in the world. But I want it to have a Fable feel to it.(I also have another mmorpg idea with the Fable theme too.) You make your wizard, and pick what house your in. Now your 17 in the game so your maybe in your last year or just left Hogwarts. Maybe you can age in the game. But you can be a good wizard or evil wizard. It could be when Voldemort was at large the first time or when he came back. Or maybe set it when the founders of Hogwarts where alive. But to learn new spells you go to Hogwarts and learn them in one of the classrooms. But you will need enough exp and stuff like that to learn stronger ones. Now you can have jobs to make money, and say your a good wizard and your job is an Auror(Dark wizard catcher) You go out and find someone in the Slytheren house and duel them. They dont really stay in jail but you could get a reward for defeating them. And i think it would be fun cause you could go and vist the places in the books like the forbidden forest and diagon alley. Well thats just a rough idea i had and thought id post it on here in case anyone would wanna make it. Cause there is alot of Harry Potter fans and i think that game would do really well.

I would suggest writing up a design document for it. Really, in your idea the Harry Potter series isn't a critical element to the game play. If you wrote that same thing changing the main characters name and possibly removing that item about being in school I wouldn't even imagine it as Harry Potter. And, you know what, I'd definitely play it too. You've got a really good start, just see if you can form your own story from it (or get a writer to do the story while you do the design).

Legal issues if you make it a satire ???

If you do it too crudely/distastefully no doubt there are special cases...
