Harry Potter RPG Footage Allegedly leaks from Focus Group

The internet is ablaze this morning as what appears to be leaked footage of an unannounced Harry Potter RPG has appeared on YouTube. According to the Reddit poster who dropped it, this footage, assuming for a moment it’s real, has allegedly come from a focus group and is even accompanied by some marketing literature and a key features list.
