Hogwarts Legacy is an open world RPG based around the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Released in febuary of 2023 it sparked discourse around JK Rowling, ‘seperating the art from the artist’ and ‘death of the author’. On the other side of the fans, Crimson RIvers, a Marauders fandom fanfiction about Jegulus and Wolfstar in the Hunger Games posted it’s final chapter. With both of these unconnected works being released, theres a question of what does it mean to be a Marauders fan, verses a Harry Potter fan, and why fandom matters so much. Topics in the video essay also mentioned are Goncharov, S & D tier, by Lighthouse Raiders, and Lazarus Rises by Berklie aka IcarusPendragon
