The game started in German, and I couldn’t change the language. Multiple sites told me how to change the language of the Epic Games Launcher instead. WTF??

Here’s the solution: Find GameUserSettings.ini in %localappdata%\HogwartsLegacy\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor and add these two lines:

[Internationalization]    
Language=en-US

Now the game is in English.

CAREFUL: The game is overwriting this file. You need to do this every time you want to play the game or set the file to read-only. Which prevents you from changing some settings.

    Re: 3, unfortunately, pirating the game won’t let you avoid supporting transphobic lunatics. The person who cracked the game is even worse than Rowling - as in, “makes Rowling look like a paragon of progressiveness in comparison” worse - and uses the download numbers for her cracks (and the fact she’s usually the only one willing to crack Denuvo) to justify asking for donations.

      The game has been repacked by many people though. I don’t even know where to go to get it straight from the original person who cracked it.

      That’s a fair take. I deleted it promptly after playing, but anyone who is willing to fund empress’s insanity is a fool anyway. Yet, sadly, a whole lot of fools out there.
