Yeah, Liam's got it pegged fairly well. What it basically works out to is a huge licensing fee to Warner Brothers (who handle most licensing issues in the Wizarding World) and possibly also to JKR and/or her publishers as well. Setting that aside, you could just sell the game and hope to not be bothered, and that is a risk that many developers are willing to take. I tend to be overly cautious, and would rather not risk it, and my business partner feels the same. Still, I would love to develop it.
