A potential new leak has surface this morning pointing to an ambitious, open-world Harry Potter game.
The leak came via Reddit by user VapeThisBro, who says the footage was recorded during an internal focus test for the game – while claiming he was never checked or given a non-disclosure agreement to sign (this is usually never the case).
You can find an archived version of the footage here – because Warner Bros. is copyright striking everything on YouTube and mainstream video sites.
