Electronic Arts nearly made a Harry Potter MMO but decided to cancel the project due to "changes" at the publisher and a lack of faith in the Harry Potter brand remaining popular, apparently.

This information comes from Kim Salzer, the former director of product marketing at EA (2000-2003). During a recent interview with The Real Brandolorian, Salzer was asked to comment on canceled projects, and she mentioned the Harry Potter game.

"A big one for me, because I was so personally involved in it and it's such a huge IP that has lived on, is a online massively multiplayer game for Harry Potter," Salzer said (via Polygon).
