You can't normally swim underwater, but in Percival Rackham's trial you walk through water while protected by a bubble. You can dive underwater normally but your character just goes under and pops up with whatever they grabbed.
-Description of Mongrel Fur- There is no blood. It's basically a fur rug. It does have the dog's/Mongrel's head attached and then like a leather pile folded under the head much like if someone folded up an animal rug with the head at the top of the pile (head does not show teeth, eyes are pretty much closed). I do think the head being there is a little disturbing, but it is not graphic in my opinion, at least like no blood, fresh skin, anything like that. Some may find the visual upsetting though.
There are moths that are part of a quest/puzzle. They are silvery and I think they are not real moths - as in they are "alive" with magic but made out of metal or stone. They honestly look more like butterflies to me.
One of the enemy factions in the game is a group of magical creatures poachers. These poachers trap magical creatures in cages, and they often are visibly and audibly sad / afraid. One of the missions also features a dragon fighting ring, with one dragon being restrained with chained and abused (the main character frees this dragon during the mission).
Constantly. It's a running theme of the game and very prominent with poachers abusing, torturing, and killing animals. Your character also has to complete quests where you "rescue" animals from their natural habitats and breed them, which could be morally upsetting to some.
Throughout the game, you encounter dead magical animals, see animals being killed, and are basically forced to kill some yourself. E.g., in the opening scene, some thestrals (or some kind of magical flying horse) are killed by a dragon, you witness a deer getting attacked and killed, and see several carcasses of dead graphorns.
One of the spells you can learn and use is the Cruciatus Curse, aka Crucio, which is the torture curse. There’s a side quest in Sebastian’s quest line where you, Sebastian and Ominis go to Salazar Slytherin’s scriptorium and the three find out that in order to get out of where they’re trapped, Crucio must be used to open the door. You can choose to learn it, and then you can either use it on Sebastian or he will use it on you.
If you consider beheading, there's a ghost of a man who died by beheading, and when he first appears, his head is briefly disconnected, leaving the inside of his neck visible.
If you are a Gryffindor, a mandatory quest has you meeting a bunch of headless ghosts and a "nearly-headless" ghost. In a mandatory quest for all houses, you meet a ghost whose head falls off his neck. You also later see his headless skeleton.
Not specifically cannibalism but I'm not sure where else to put this. In the opening scene a person is eaten by a dragon. It is obvious what happens however not overly graphic, but may be disturbing to those that dislike animal bites on people/people being eaten.
-Detailed description- A carriage is attacked and ripped apart by the dragon. On one side of the carriage there is a person who you see within the dragon's mouth, and then the dragon closes their mouth, essentially swallowing the person whole. Some wood from the carriage goes flying out and your character sees the Thestrals that were pulling the carriage (those horses that are invisible to anyone except those that have seen death) go from invisible to visible.
If you consider beheading, there's a ghost of a man who died by beheading, and when he first appears, his head is briefly disconnected, leaving the inside of his neck visible.
In the final quest to take down Harlow, a character has the Cruciatus curse cast on them, leading to the character to convulse in a way that resembles a seizure. This quest isn't mandatory, but is necessary to resolve some major plotlines in the story.
I'm all for asking questions about stuff you don't know but this is a bit much. It's easy to Google and find out what word is considered the r-slur. Using the slur uncensored would trigger many people on here, which is why the category doesn't state it upfront anymore.
Sirona Meaning & History The name of a Celtic goddess mainly worshipped in middle Europe and the region of the Danube. She was associated with healing, wolves, and children.
The name comes from a combination of Gaulish roots - ser- or ster- meaning "star" (cognate with the first element in Welsh Seren) plus the -ona termination common to the names of female deities (as in Epona, Angerona.)
The Gaulish goddess of astronomy, and goddess of the Mosel Valley.
There is a hospital inside hogwarts, fairly late in the game you witness someone injured, they are bandaged up so there is no gore, as you sneak into the hospital
You can sort of trans-code the character you play as and like almost any game you can die in it (before respawning). None of the deaths are of confirmed LGBTQIA+ characters.
Harry Potter goblins are based on antisemitic caricatures, and this game blows it up even further by having them be treated as villains for fighting for their rights. The trans woman in the game is named Sirona Ryan and her naming choice is transphobic as it places unnatural emphasis on masculinity. It's certainly in-line with racist Harry Potter names like Cho Chang and Kingsley Shacklebolt.
The goblin race of the Harry Potter world is a very anti-semitic stereotype and they are the main villains of the game. The story revolves around stopping a goblin uprising and in one of the trailers, a goblin mentions kidnapping the minor player character which can be interpreted as blood libel.
sebastian’s sister, anne, is chronically ill due to being cursed (before the timeline of the game) and a large plotline is him trying to find the cure for her.
Since the game is set in the 1800s, there are no cars or planes. However, in the opening scene, a flying carriage is attacked, torn in half, and falls from the sky, which I imagine might be upsetting for similar reasons as a plane crash.
While it's not nearly as bloody as many other games, I was personally surprised by the amount of blood. I have seen it in combat, more so from non-human enemies like the 'dark mongrels,' where there's streaks of blood after an enemy is killed.
No guns as far I know (just started playing), but there are wands that "shoot" spells (kinda obvious if you've seen Harry Potter). I was a little surprised to see the main/your character's attack spells be red though and they leave a scorch mark that eventually fades away if you cast it on a wall or something (it does not leave the scorch mark on enemies as far as I could tell). Attack spells do make a sound when cast/when they hit their object.
