The news comes a week after Warner Bros. Games and Avalanche Software announced that the game had sold more than 15 million units and made more than $1 billion in total revenue.

The game follows a customisable witch or wizard as they arrive at Hogwarts as a late fifth-year student and must take lessons, learn magic, and make friends and enemies. Along the way, they quickly become involved in a plot that threatens all life.
