Tune in to hear: &amp;nbsp;    Their thoughts on the plot, characters, and gameplay of Hogwarts Legacy\u2026    Which animals show up in the game\u2026    How animals are treated in the game, and what that means for our interactions with animals in real life\u2026    And more!   &amp;nbsp;   An important disclaimer: We at The Protego Foundation believe that Transgender women are women. Transgender men are men. Non-binary people are non-binary. Intersex people exist and should not be forced to live in the binary. We stand with Harry Potter fans in these communities, and we disavow the author\u2019s anti-trans rhetoric and beliefs. So today, we are only considering this particular property with regard to its implications for animals and animal rights, particularly in the fandom. This discussion should not be seen as an endorsement for the purchase of this game.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;  Visit our ProtegoCast website  to send us a message, leave us a review wherever you listen to ProtegoCast, and subscribe to the ProtegoCast Patreon over at  Patreon.com\/protegocast.
