Aftermath

Hi!

Beyond Hogwarts is here! What do you think about it so far? and What do you think about MC's adult model?

It's actually underwhelming, just MC's student head with a taller body, I expected better 😬

Sorry it took me a while, but I wanted to finish Chapter 3 before answering to have something more to say. I’ll probably still do more detailed commentary, but still – I have a fuller picture now. And honestly? I kind of agree with you. It’s rather “meh” so far. And to elaborate on that, I’d put my thoughts in one of three categories: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

THE GOOD

I actually quite like the story so far. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think it’s great or anything. But I’d say it’s pretty decent. I mostly like the concept of the ROCC, and I still think it’s a good way of approaching MC’s job. Admittedly, I do feel there are a little too many employees in the background of the ROCC scenes, considering that it’s a secret division, but it’s not a big complaint. Especially since I believe it’s supposed to involve characters from all over the world.

I’m glad to see Olivia again, and I’m thrilled to see Callum (though I have some big complaints here, but more about it in a moment). Surprisingly, I also like Ruby so far. I saw people complaining about her already, but I don’t really understand it. I feel like her optimism is just a part of “a happy-go-lucky girl from Texas”, and it’s fine by me. I don’t find it obnoxious or anything.

THE BAD

I actually have to start with one of the story parts. To be more specific: with Flump. I have very mixed feelings about our new boss. I want to make a separate post about him, but to put it short, the execution of his character is just bad. I usually like the type of “mean mentor who grows to appreciate the protagonist” – and I believed that’s what Flump was gonna be. But the way he was written in his first chapter, just really doesn’t work for me.

Unfortunately, I also have to put some technical issues in this category. I don’t really mind the lack of Quidditch, but I don’t understand why they reduced the number of Friendship/Clubs quizzes. Also, while the new map looks very nice…

… it’s not super practical. For people who don’t know, when you tap the stairs icon it brings you to the area you’re currently in, not the general view of the map.

And it’s a bit problematic, in my opinion, because even statistically speaking, when you move, it’s more likely that you want to move to a location in a different area, not the same. Especially if you’re in Azkaban, for example, because the North Sea has only one location. You know what I mean? I don’t know, I guess it’s not a big deal, but it kinda made things more annoying.

THE UGLY

Ok, so here’s where I put what you mentioned: MC’s appearance. Because MC’s adult design is quite terrible. Admittedly, I feel like it looks a little better with some outfits:

… but overall… it’s pretty bad:

And I really don’t know how to interpret that comment by Penny:

... because… MC still does have a baby face. And it’s kinda weird because it seems like some characters did get a face upgrade? Like Penny, for example. So… I don’t know what to think about it. I hope it can still be changed, but I’m not holding my breath.

Still, MC is not what bothers me the most. Also, I can’t say I expected better because I know it’s better to not expect anything from JC. However, there is one thing I have to rant about. Namely…

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?? WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO MY MAN?!

I was already worried when it was revealed that Callum will be shorter, but they also changed his face?! He looks like Callum’s baby brother! WHYYYYY?? Why can’t Callum just look older than MC when he is in fact older??

To be clear, I still love Callum with my whole heart, and I think he’s the best part of Beyond Hogwarts. But… why…? 😢

[redhairedgryffindor]

Please, let me finish

HUGE SPOILER!!!

Let Flump talk

Demand an answer

[redhairedgryffindor]

Don't worry about me, y'all. I'm fine.

No, you're not

If you say so

[redhairedgryffindor]

Yours is the only one that carries a penalty of unemployment.

That's not fair

Bring it on

I could use some help

[redhairedgryffindor]

He did what was expected of him... Isn't that right?

Humbly agree

Rub it in Flump's face

[redhairedgryffindor]

A... Niffler?

This is brilliant

This is a joke

[redhairedgryffindor]

And if you end up getting injured in the field, you'll need to know how to heal yourself.

Push back

Agree with Flump

[redhairedgryffindor]

That puts you in grave danger.

I'm not afraid

I don't want to end up like Ruby

[redhairedgryffindor]

You'll be working with Agent McClintock in an official capacity to solve them both.

Show gratitude

Say I told you so

[redhairedgryffindor]

How long have you been working together?

Tell the truth

Play dumb

[redhairedgryffindor]

I may be your boss, but that doesn't mean I have to like you.

I'll make you like me

I don't care if you like me

[redhairedgryffindor]

Do you have any questions?

What's my first case?

How'd you come to the ROCC?

No questions

[redhairedgryffindor]

But you should know better, Agent McClintock.

Capitalise on the distraction

Defend Callum

[redhairedgryffindor]

What's your explanation for why you didn't listen to me?

Apologise to Flump

Stand your ground
