I don't know that I'll kickstart this, but I'm definitely getting it for my spouse. She's a harry potter super fan and the minis angle is actually kind of attractive for me on this one. Does Knight's Models make passable minis? Their batman stuff looks ok?

That's great news! That's a big draw for this franchise, it isn't one to my recollection that has any quality mini lines?
Expansions would be big for this one too, there's a legit lot to draw from. It's like a Song of Ice and Fire minis set in its legit huge character lineup except that each figure would actually have unique powers and characteristics. Luna Lovegood is a favorite, my wife and I will have to fight over who gets the real hero of the series, Hermione, etc.

This looks gangster AF
I just want the models to use as Wizards in Wiz-War.
The ultimate graduation test from Hogwarts. Who will survive The Labyrinth?

HOWEVER...two big Prince-caliber side eyes.
One is 35mm. Ouch. It sounds great- cool ass big models! But if it requires terrain pieces (assuming it will) then you are shut out immediately of a TON of terrain options. You will be at the mercy of Knight Models and third parties to develop this stuff, which will be BIG and EXPENSIVE.
Two is, obviously, Kickstarter. Come the fuck on, a HP game does not need crowd funding and if the company doing it needs crowdfunding to do it, then the license is likely in the wrong hands.

I've actually wanted Potter models for this purpose for a long time.
I think if I were to have them, I'd get people to play more often. It's a small thing to change but people would be all over that.
Me: "Wanna play a really fun wizard battle game?
Them: "Meh."
Me: "Wanna play a really fun Harry Potter wizard battle game?"
Them: "Dibs on Emma Watson!"
[Edit]
I just checked the website to see if I can bypass the stupid KS and just buy the models. Nope. The models have been around for over a year, but we have to wait for the game to buy them.
I hope there is a model only option at some point. I really could care less about a game that sounds like a heavily scenario driven version of DDAS with a different them (no proof of that beyond postulation based on description).[/edit]

Worst name ever. I'll have to keep an eye on this, but I'm 100% in agreement with Barnes that this is not what Kickstarter should be for. You're going to print money with this, the KS campaign is just telling you how much to print, and letting you take it from people before delivering, which blows.

So Star Wars, Firefly and Harry Potter minis game won't float my boat. But building a Witcher 3 army for Dragon Rampant will.

All the pics of the Scooby Doo character conversions for Betrayal at House on the Hill on BGG can attest to that. It doesn't add anything mechanically, but it's so much more evocative when, instead of it being Generic Professorman, Shaggy explodes in a shower of gore as two giant snakes erupt from his body.

The first thing I thought of when someone mentioned a HP conversion of Wiz-War was how the board already bears more than a passing resemblance to the hedge maze from the final stage of the Triwizard Tournament from Goblet of Fire.
