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.
Giant spiders are a common enemy all throughout the World Map including during Main missions- plenty of mandatory encounters with numerous spiders, would not recommend this game if you have severe arachnophobia
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.
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
Thankfully she's never misgendered but the trans woman in the game is named Sirona Ryan, I'm not kidding (Sirona is the name of a goddess, granted, but “Ryan” is rarely a surname as opposed to “Rian”). Many people have inferred that Harry Potter goblins are based on false, antisemitic caricatures, and this game blows it up even further by having them be treated as villains for fighting for their rights.
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.
