Five years ago, Strixhaven: School of Mages showed us Magic: The Gathering's original take on the wizard school genre, which covers everything from Discworld's Unseen University to A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin—though obviously Harry Potter is the elephant in the room.
Back then, Wizards of the Coast hadn't gone all-in on the crossovers. Now we've had everything from a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set to a limited run featuring Dwight from The Office. It was reasonable to wonder, after Wizards of the Coast's corporate owner Hasbro announced a partnership with Warner Bros to "bring the Harry Potter universe to life through licensed toys and games," whether that meant Magic would be one of the vehicles for that exercise in cross-branding synergy, or whatever the executives call it these days.
