Rumoured[]
I understand that some may want this page deleted as the evidence is not definitive, though I think that as credibly rumoured information, it is worthy of mention on this wiki. We should however, give caution to not supplant with fan demands over what has been reported credibly and available to source. -Internet is Freedom (talk) 18:54, July 29, 2019 (UTC)
- I think it is worth an article to record this possible release, but any information from the leak is not considered canon and should be added to other articles. Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 19:47, July 29, 2019 (UTC)

The "Harry Potter: Magic Awakened" channel on YouTube has released videos of this game, confirming that this game takes place many years after the original series, McGonogall is the Headmistress, Neville is a teacher, and Harry is an adult. Garr9988 (talk) 23:33, January 21, 2020 (UTC)

BTS section[]
Seth Cooper added the following to the page a few days ago:
- "Interestingly, and perhaps mistakenly, promotional images appear to have shown the Hogwarts Whomping Willow and the Forbidden Forest Acromantula colony; both would be anachronisms, since they date from long after the 1800s — the latter was established by Aragog and Mosag in Rubeus Hagrid's third year at Hogwarts (1943), and the former was planted when Remus Lupin started at Hogwarts (1971)."
Do we know the Acromantulas were in the Forbidden Forest, though? The poster depicts ruins and, if you look on the right side of the image, what appears to be the entrance to an underground burial chamber with an Acromantula just over it that definitively isn't Hogwarts. Could be the villain in the game have smuggled Acromantulas into Britain and are using them to guard something away from Hogwarts in a different forest? Also... Is it the same Whomping WIllow? Humour me for a bit. The one we know from the books was planted to conceal and guard the entrance to the Shrieking Shack. How many knew that? The teachers did. The teachers did, of course; people that were either close enough to Dumbledore to share his sympathy for the Lupins, or whom Dumbledore could swear to silence. I am thinking about Lupin's words in the third book: "People used to play a game, trying to get near enough to touch the trunk. In the end, a boy called Davey Gudgeon nearly lost an eye, and we were forbidden to go near it." The Whomping Willow is fairly dangerous, so a permission by the Board of Governors to plant one on the grounds seems like it'd be pretty difficult to come by, even for Dumbledore. Did he confide his true plans for it to the governors and therefore, he was allowed? Doubtful. He had admitted Lupin to Hogwarts when no other headmaster would have done so, and as Lupin pointed out, the other parents weren’t likely to want their children exposed to him, so in the unlikely event that all twelve governors would be privy to and just welcome the idea of a werewolf that turns into a fully-fledged monster once a month attending Hogwarts with open arms, they might not have had the authority to override the wishes of parents demanding to remove Remus from school. But Dumbledore being Dumbledore, this seems like the sort of thing he would have an easier time getting away with by asking for forgiveness than permission, and it got me thinking. Had the request for permission to plant a Whomping Willow at Hogwarts been propsoed just as the introduction of a fascinating piece of magical flora, it would probably be rejected as a safety hazard. That is, unless there was some historical presidence for it. If, however, there had previously been a Whoping Willow on the school dating back who knows how many centuries, and been historically significant to the school until finally someone like Dippet had it removed out of safety concerns, and then, Dumbledore needed something to both conceal and guard the tunnel Lupin would use and wrote a letter to the Governors asking if perhaps he could replace the one they lost, citing it as being in the interest of preserving the school's history, I can see him being allowed to plant one on the spot where the last one had been. After all, they had had one at the school before, and the situation had been fairly managable during those days. Point is... It isn't a given that it flies in the face of canon. ^^' Tfoc (talk) 04:47, October 1, 2020 (UTC)

Evidence of 1880/90s[]
I found evidence suggesting that the series will take part in the 1880s. 1879 at the earliest.
There's 2 identical looking brooms in the trailer. These have characteriics of the Oakshaft 79. This was the oldest broom we have heard of (exceptions being ones made by hand for personal use only). No other broom was released by then (which I know of.)
The main issue with this theory is that the Oakshaft 79 really never had any image assigned to it, only characteristics. The image on the oak shift 79s page looks similar, however the sources for this image are ungiven so I am unsure as to whether or not this is a fan art or not.
However the images on the 2 chocolate cards of Jocunda Sykes show 2 brooms that don't look similar to the broom from the trailer at all, however those 2 broom sticks also look seperate (we can assume the first to be inaccurate or a different photo due to the fact it would be uncomfortable to ride because of its weird shape and one of the charactistics of the broom is that it is comfortable).
Also the fact that the trailer has shown multiple anachornisms already.
In summary
Supporting evidence the brooms are Oakshaft 79s
Date adds up
Identical Brooms looking like the ones from this photo 
Oakshaft was the only broom to be made for mass sale at this point.
Opposing evidence
Broom doesn't look like the brooms Jocunda Sykes was holding in photos
The Oakshaft has been shown as 3 different looking images.
The Oakshaft was hand made, meaning 1 oakshaft may look different to another oakshaft. (However not necassairly so one can tell what the broom is)

It seems that the year 1890 (that was seen in the earlier previews) has been removed from the newspaper page in the game's opening cutscene. ~ rwall64 10:45, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
Yeah, but with no new date to retcon the old one, the old date from the trailer is what goes. WeaseleyIsOurKing89 (talk) 12:35, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
