The Harry Potter world is supposed to be just like our own, only with the addition of magic in places us readers wouldn't be able to notice. But since this is a crossover with Dungeons and Dragons, it wouldn't make any sense for the D&D RPG to exist in thi

I think, tentatively speaking (everything in this blog that hasn’t been explicitly mentioned in canon is subject to change without notice), D&D probably doesn’t exist in Harry’s world, in the same way that zombie movies don’t exist in most zombie films (except for some parodies and deconstructions) and most actors don’t seem to exist in the universes of the movies they’re starring in. Nobody ever says that Tony Stark looks a heck of a lot like Robert Downey, Jr., for example.

By extension, the world of RPGs is probably a pretty fledgling place. Tabletop wargaming still exists, as it predated D&D, but some of the most popular specific games either don’t exist or do in a very different form (my understanding is that Warhammer Fantasy Battle was heavily inspired by D&D, for example). RPGs that do exist are more on the Role-Playing side of things, more like improv games played by drama students, than the Game side of things.

All of this, however, is just what my gut says right now—I reserve the right to unabashedly change it either to fit the plot, or to make a decent joke.
