Seems like a pretty explicit hint... almost too explicit. But it'd be weird to get people's hopes up for HP and then hit 'em with a Godfather (even though Godfather's a cooler theme, in my opinion).
The real question is if it's happening, will it be "Harry Potter" or "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2: The Crimes of Grindewald"
Honestly that would be amazing if JJP's been secretly trolling us this whole time with Godfather and it's actually Harry Potter.
That would be huge if it’s Eric on a HP pin. I would be in for sure unless they completely f it up like Toy Story, errr, Toy Story 4
Makes you wonder about Stern's timing with the Foo Fighter announcement. Trying to beat JJP and AP to the punch
Hogwarts Legacy posted the 2nd largest release day players for a single-player video game in HISTORY, only behind Cyberpunk 2077.
The video game market is disgustingly over-saturated, and yet Hogwarts Legacy was able to command a huge percentage of the PC gamer base comparable to Skyrim in 2010.
I didn’t believe HP was relevant enough anymore, but Hogwarts Legacy has proven that it’s an absolute nostalgia cash-cow stronger than Toy Story and closer to a modern version of the original Star Wars.
Quoted from reffob:Honestly that would be amazing if JJP's been secretly trolling us this whole time with Godfather and it's actually Harry Potter.
Never know, Godfather could be code for Harry Potter. Harry does have a Godfather, Sirius Black.
If this holds a shred of truth, I'd try to get ahead of the game and use the "get on the list" option at Little Shop of Games.

Makes a LOT more sense for Eric to be on this than doing Godfather, which made zero sense. I assumed Godfather was a code name and it was a big title, but thought maybe Matrix. Harry Potter will be huge for JJP if that's what it is.
Quoted from PanzerFreak:Never know, Godfather could be code for Harry Potter. Harry does have a Godfather, Sirius Black.
Yeah exactly a lot of people have speculated Godfather was code for something. If JJP drops Harry Potter on us that would be pretty epic. Would LOVE to see what Eric Meunier does with it.
Dammit!! I just bought 2 pins this year NIB.. wife would be pissed but this is a theme should would be down for.
Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:I've been unimpressed with the last few JJPs... But I'd sell a pin to get this
This might have to happen if true.
It would be funny if Godfather was the code name for something because they would go mafia on you if you snitched it.
Quoted from BradLinden:You all are misunderstanding the hint. It’s going to be a Ron Weasley game!
for real laughed
Quoted from demandecan55:Godfather wasn't the original code name people shared on here.... it was Scarface.[quoted image]
WHOA

I know very little about Harry Potter. Never seen any of the movies, nor read any of the books. However the game looked like a blast. I recently purchased Hogwarts Legacy and I haven’t had this much fun in a game in a long time. Worth every penny even if you’re not a Harry Potter fan. I’m learning more about the HP world from the game and it’s making me curious on watching the movies, maybe reading the books.
The game is not only for Harry Potter fans, but for fans wanting a fun game to play.
Having said all that, I would be down for a HP pinball machine.
Godfather refers to Steve Ritchie. So whatever game he’s been on may be ready for release. Golden girls?
I love GnR and Wonka, not a Harry Potter, fan,
So will prob pass on it.
But no doubt this title would crush for JJP if done right.

Harry Potter is never happening. JK has said she doesn’t want anything in a bar that would lure children in.

They literally have multiple Harry Potter themed bars in Universal Studios

That is also what the community said about TS. Look what happened.
Hope JJP learned their lesson.
Not sure why you guys are excited if it's Jersey Jack, look at what they did with toy story. You're not going to want to pay $15,000 for an old Williams lightning bolt flasher insert over harrys forehead, a ball that runs down a wand like pinball magic, and a moaning Myrtle mystery scoop. As much as a Malfoy bash toy would excite most of us the truth is Jersey Jack took the less is more approach.
But maybe pat Lawler comes out of retirement for ONE last game and designs the game around the quidditch festivals so he can put some carnival bullshit in there! One can dream.

This man smokes pot, I love it.

You’re right it’s Golden Girls!
Now go play your Sterns!
And take Wisefw with you
Quoted from trilogybeer:My wife and daughter love Harry Potter, if this rumor is true I will be buying one.
Sometimes you just gotta take one for the team.
Quoted from PanzerFreak:Never know, Godfather could be code for Harry Potter.
Using that logic then it has to be a Kevin Bacon pin
This would be like hitting a walk off homerun in the World Series after going 0-3 with 3 K's for your previous 3 at bats.

Hey just relaying what I heard. This is one instance where I’d like to be wrong.
Quoted from Jkush18:Harry Potter is never happening. JK has said she doesn’t want anything in a bar that would lure children in.
She's said a number of regrettable things, so...

Lawlor was the PROBLEM with Toy Story 4. More Lawlor is bad for JJP in the 2020s. After two amazing pins designs in a row, I have total faith in Eric Meunier to deliver.
Quoted from Galooch:If done right…and if true….this might get me to part with my POTC!
If JJP doesn't finally finish the code that's LONG overdue, I think a lot of people will be getting the same idea at once.
