The Sims 4: Harry Potter
I'd like to recommend a collaboration between EA & Warner Bros for a Harry Potter themed The Sims 4. Is there a way to recommend games?

@jaymiex89 , while I don't think this is as likely now that we have Spellcasters from Realm Of Magic (GP), I guess it would still be possible if they focused on teaching children magic by going off to Hogwarts! 🥳 That was one of the things I didn't like about Realm of Magic since almost everyone is familar with Harry Potter and many fans would want to recreate the characters from the books and movies in the game, which we can't do for their early years with ROM only allowing teens and older to be Spellcasters. 😢
Still, like others have said above, I would imagine that it would be expensive to enter into a contract with Warner Brothers and JKR, but you never know! 🙌
@PugLove888 It would be expensive but I would imagine EA already has the rights as they made the previous Harry Potter games. Plus, they would definitely get their money back and profit as the Harry Potter community is huge even to this day
@jayglover158 , yes, but rights to these titles can expire. 😞 I don't know when these types of rights normally expire but I do know for example that in TS3 the license for Katy Perry's Sweet Treats is no longer active, as you can't by that pack on Origin anymore. According to Fandom Wiki, it only lasted a year. While contracts like these might vary depending on each individual contract, It is reasonable to think that the license with Harry Potter probably has also ran out since the last game EA did with Harry Potter was in 2011. 😢
The rights for Harry Potter games are now back at Warner Bros.
