> I am sad this KS has been cancelled as it seemed like the perfect next game for me and my son – who at only 7 is turning into an avid gamer and huge Harry Potter fan.

Well, it’s not like there isn’t a ton of HP merchandise out there aimed at a young market. Amazon has over 800 results for boys 6-12, although I’m seeing only two Quidditch games. BGG lists several HP games. IIRC, Hogwarts Battle was well-received. Given KM’s mistreatment of the HP license for their first game, I don’t think there’s much to look forward to for their second. As someone who’s been burned on an IP KS, IMO, the *last* thing you should consider when backing a KS is the IP.
