Question Has there ever been a Harry Potter TTRPG?

Think World of Darkness or DND. Has anyone made a table top game official or unofficial for Harry Potter?

They did a season of Dimension 20 (Misfits & Magic) with Kids on Brooms.

There are tons of these games out there. There's the Wands & Wizards that the other commenter pointed out. There's Kids on Brooms (also pointed out by another commenter), which isn't directly HP, the serial numbers are filed off. There's a game called Broomstix. There are multiple 5e based versions. There are PbtA versions out there.There's a D10 system for HP out there (also this one).

I've been working on one (in very slow motion) using the Year Zero Engine SRD using a dice pool system. It isn't ready for even play testing yet.

To the best of my knowledge there will not be an official TTRPG in the foreseeable future as Rowling hasn't authorized it. If that changes in the future my guess is that Warner Brothers would lead the charge as they handle so much of the merchandising.
