That's weird, as the developer stated they had no plans for post-release content & were only focused on the sequel, which has since been officially greenlit.
- Maybe the publisher wanted to push it onto some other team?

Anything that keeps JKR from getting richer, is a good thing.
And I'd celebrate this if wasn't for the fact that they've stated:
The company said it plans to double down on its biggest franchises, including Harry Potter.
- Moar mobile slop and legos.
- Art versus artist. Some of us what as much of the wizarding world as we can get.
  
  Art vs artist doesn't apply when the artist is making bank off their art.
  A better example would be something like Notch and Minecraft. Notch made Minecraft, Notch sucks, but he sold it and makes no money off it anymore so who cares if he's the worst. JKR is a different story, and every new Harry Potter thing supports JKR.

JK Rowling is a transphobe, a bigot and a fascist.

One of the main storyline NPCs is a well thought out and respected trans individual. Jk rowling specifically tried to tank sales of the game, there are two ways licensing can be done, a one-time upfront fee, or residuals. Her behavior suggests it was the former, though no one has specified that I know of.
Either way, us buying and playing the game is against J.K. Rowlings wishes, good enough for me. And I really enjoyed the game. It was well made if a bit generic, similar to the more recent Avowed, I enjoyed that too. Well-made, fun game, but a bit generic in some aspects.
I also played both in VR once VR mods were available. Hogwarts legacy is great in VR(specifically with Luke Ross's mod, if you haven't tried it recently it has made some significant strides in the past few months) Avowed in VR takes alot of hardware to run well(UEVR mod), my hardware was just below that line. Still worth it for me, but not as great of an experience.

  Seems like they put about as much thought into the naming as the JKR put into naming a lot of her non-white characters...
  
  Is Sirona Ryan a reference to something that I don't know?

Too bad ! I really love this game

Good. Fuck JKR.
- They have a new quidditch game in the works still.
  
  A new one as in not the one the came out already?

  They released that months ago I thought.

Lets go! Down with the terf getting the royalties!

it's so weird i never heard anything about this game after the first week when they paid a bunch of streamers to play it

shame that game was pretty fun until you beat the main quest line

The game was generic open world wank anyway.
