Which supernatural do you want to see next?
First off, I want to start out by saying that if you don't care for supernatural play, then this thread isn't for you. Posting "I hope we don't get a supernatural" or "none" is considered off topic. ...

A magic school would be so awesome <3 But I agree it has to be only loosely based on HP, not cause I would mind (I love HP lol), but I know some people don't want witches that are too harry pottiry, so for them, I guess it'd be nice if it was different enough :) But magic school aaaall the way <3
The only thing I dislike about Harry Potter, correct me if Im wrong, is that female wizards are called witches. In actual witchcraft, Wizards and Witchs are completely different things. Males and females are actually both titled witchs.
I might be wrong, only seen 3 HP movies, always meant to watch more but they scared me as a kid (the scene with the troll in the bathroom)
It depends what you mean by "actual witchcraft", since Harry Potter is based off various folklore and historical ideas about witchcraft, and not modern-day Wicca or neo-paganism, which have their own terminology that isn't always the same as historical terminology. Throughout history the word "witch" is sometimes only applied to females, and sometimes applied to both male and female, so Harry Potter just went with one of many different strands of tradition, and Wicca went with another.
I hadn't been sure how to answer the main question of this thread, but after reading everyone's responses, I really want witches now! :smiley: I really like the idea someone mentioned earlier of having lots of different kinds of witches. Hippie witches and more traditional witches would be so much fun to play around with - I could make the three Weird Sisters from the Discworld books! :lol:
This :D Also, HP is just as much about the fight of good / evil and the impact of totalitarian states as it is about witchcraft - which I don't think necessarily fits the "lore" either. That's the beauty of storytelling, you can give your own interpretation to things. It's not like there's any real "actual witchcraft" anyway, it's always been just stories. I like the way they represented witches / wizards in HP, and I would love a similar school & things to do in TS4. But again: the more options the better! :D
