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.

Even for free? Epic is giving it away. Just make sure to get the Heroic launcher.

A few things here:
I personally think that interacting with anything related to Harry Potter continues to give it cultural dominance and longevity, so even if you aren’t personally spending money to support the giant piece of shit that is JK Rowling, you’re helping it stay relevant enough to keep making that bigot of a bitch money.
It can also be argued that since Epic made a deal for giving the game away, that the money has already been paid to Rowling, whether you grab the game for free or not. The fewer people who grab the free copy, the less wise of an investment it will be seen as by Epic’s beancounters. This also ties back into the first point of the more people taking the free copy is giving Harry Potter more cultural dominance and longevity.
I pirated this game when it came out specifically I could play it and write about how bad it was in terms of gameplay, story, and game design. I don’t feel like re-writing a full on review here, but I’ll just say it: It’s a bad fucking game and the only reason people have given it as much attention as it has gotten is the association with Harry Potter. If this had been an original property with no connection to the HP series with similar gameplay and story it would have been a clusterfuck of a failure on release.
Anyway I’ll shut up now but fuck Harry Potter, the only thing Harry Potter related I’ll accept anymore is Wizard People, Dear Reader, because it’s a parody.

I’d rather sail the high seas than interact with Epic, TBH.
