WotC says there are not any plans for a Harry Potter Magic set, ‘The Magic Multiverse has its personal college of Magic at Strixhaven’

Hasbro not too long ago introduced a multi-year licensing partnership with Warner Bros. to convey the world much more Harry Potter merch than it already has, a factor I battle to imagine is definitely potential. The announcement guarantees “merchandise that includes dolls, position play, motion figures & collectibles, interactive plush, board video games and extra to be revealed later this 12 months.”

This made Magic: The Gathering gamers slightly involved. We simply had an Avatar: The Final Airbender set, and we’re three weeks out from a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set. However whereas a number of the crossovers known as Universes Past have been embraced by gamers—virtually each middle-aged Magic participant I do know purchased a bunch of Avatar playing cards “for my children,” no actually—these aren’t ones created by a number one voice in anti-trans panic.

Responding to those issues on Reddit, the Wizards of the Coast group staff posted, “The Magic Multiverse has its personal college of Magic at Strixhaven with loads of secrets and techniques nonetheless to discover. Our Universes Past roadmap presently does not have us visiting any others.”

Which is reassuring to listen to. Strixhaven is a magical college that was the topic of a Magic set launched in 2021, in addition to a Dungeons & Dragons complement, an upcoming Magic set known as Secrets and techniques of Strixhaven scheduled for April, and an upcoming YA novel known as Strixhaven: Omens of Chaos by Seanan McGuire. In addition to not being created by a figurehead of hate speech, the very fact it is a college fairly than a highschool means Strixhaven additionally dodges all that sketchy baby endangerment stuff that makes Harry Potter appear to be a satire of British boarding faculties till you get about 4 books in and notice it is truly a bizarre celebration of them as a substitute.

In addition to Secrets and techniques of Strixhaven, there’s one other set that takes place within the Magic multiverse coming in October known as Actuality Fracture. On both aspect of it are units primarily based on The Hobbit and Star Trek, in fact. In the meantime, the licence for Harry Potter buying and selling playing cards was not too long ago acquired by Higher Deck, although that is purely for collectibles fairly than a sport.
