That happens, I am a true believer of IP and its real owner. There is no leeching involved. I am hereby going the idea to JK Rowling, ho could optionally hand it to Avalanche software, the makers of Hogwarts Legacy and the sequel.
I was watching some YouTube with fanfares and it suddenly appeared to me that we know very little About the original founders. We like to believe that Gryffindor is good and Slytherin is evil, but that would be too bleak a setting, its like saying all bad people are truly evil. Ghengis Kahn, Benito Mussolini, Donald Trump. The setting seen now is not the setting as it was a thousand years ago. And as this is all Wizarding world this becomes the ownership of JK Rowling.
Anyone who knows me knows that I like RPG and that I really like replayability. In this the origin of the houses one to mind. You get to go to the places where Helga Hufflepuff, Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin originated. You get to see all four lands and do missions in them but only the house student gets to do that one mission where you could own and restore the houses, with an optional secret passage from Hogwarts to your place (and it gives the room of requirements a moments rest). So any house can do missions there (optionally within these four towns) and learn spells and make friend, but only the hour student can embark on the one mission that will grant them the original house of a founder and they all require reparo (and perhaps a few new spells) to get the place in a spit spot place (Mary Poppins made me say that). There is also the settings that these places have mixed muggle and wizarding people The idea that there is a lot more to offensive spells and therefor other spells need to be created. Like an are disillusion spell, that gives a ‘nasty’ dislike to the place as muggles. And there is a drive (in me) to let these houses look a little like the houses at Hogwarts, so Hufflepuff will be a burrow, Ravenclaw will be a tower and Slytherin will be an underground house (optionally by a lake) and Goodrich place will be in Godric Hollow, optionally Harry’s place of birth with a few extra basements. Because I do not know how far HL2 is, I can’t write missions on them and only on the parts I wrote here. But there is a setting where we could see the interaction with muggles and that could confuse a few things. So I am a little in the air on that. But the wizarding people will come with missions, lost items optional overrunning spiders and a fair bit of Inferni. There is the chance of Trolls and perhaps a new kind of troll depending on where you are. There is a side where we could save as many Centaurs as we can and destroy the ash winders. But there is also a time limit, so that you have to rush to save the Centaurs and the more you safe, the greater your fame becomes. There is also the setting that not all trolls are bad and that frost trolls and frost giants might be worthy of saving (but that is merely a first thought), so as each land has its own dealings, these are dealings that you take back to school, optionally in your sixth or seventh year (not sure where HL2 is) it makes things less complex by adding Hogwarts and the surrounding areas, and this offers the makers to propagate the save game they had in the first HL, making this a continuation and optionally a reason to play HL again.
There might a reason for Avalanche to launch both games together on the Switch 2, but that is up to them. What does matter is that I gave form to these ideas (optionally being completely rejected by JK Rowling) but that is her right, it is her IP. I am merely spitting a few ideas and hopefully they land in willing ears and optionally not fits what Avalanche Software had in mind.
So have a great day all and soon I have to start Hogwarts Legacy for the fourth house (Gryffindor) as I saw that place in the 8 movies, as such I wanted to see the other places first.
