You can sort of trans-code the character you play as and like almost any game you can die in it (before respawning). None of the deaths are of confirmed LGBTQIA+ characters.
Throughout the game, you encounter dead magical animals, see animals being killed, and are basically forced to kill some yourself. E.g., in the opening scene, some thestrals (or some kind of magical flying horse) are killed by a dragon, you witness a deer getting attacked and killed, and see several carcasses of dead graphorns.
Constantly. It's a running theme of the game and very prominent with poachers abusing, torturing, and killing animals. Your character also has to complete quests where you "rescue" animals from their natural habitats and breed them, which could be morally upsetting to some.
One of the enemy factions in the game is a group of magical creatures poachers. These poachers trap magical creatures in cages, and they often are visibly and audibly sad / afraid. One of the missions also features a dragon fighting ring, with one dragon being restrained with chained and abused (the main character frees this dragon during the mission).
If you consider beheading, there's a ghost of a man who died by beheading, and when he first appears, his head is briefly disconnected, leaving the inside of his neck visible.

In the final quest to take down Harlow, a character has the Cruciatus curse cast on them, leading to the character to convulse in a way that resembles a seizure. This quest isn't mandatory, but is necessary to resolve some major plotlines in the story.
One of the spells you can learn and use is the Cruciatus Curse, aka Crucio, which is the torture curse. There’s a side quest in Sebastian’s quest line where you, Sebastian and Ominis go to Salazar Slytherin’s scriptorium and the three find out that in order to get out of where they’re trapped, Crucio must be used to open the door. You can choose to learn it, and then you can either use it on Sebastian or he will use it on you.
I'm all for asking questions about stuff you don't know but this is a bit much. It's easy to Google and find out what word is considered the r-slur. Using the slur uncensored would trigger many people on here, which is why the category doesn't state it upfront anymore.
Sirona
Meaning & History
The name of a Celtic goddess mainly worshipped in middle Europe and the region of the Danube. She was associated with healing, wolves, and children.
The name comes from a combination of Gaulish roots - ser- or ster- meaning "star" (cognate with the first element in Welsh Seren) plus the -ona termination common to the names of female deities (as in Epona, Angerona.)
The Gaulish goddess of astronomy, and goddess of the Mosel Valley.
There is a hospital inside hogwarts, fairly late in the game you witness someone injured, they are bandaged up so there is no gore, as you sneak into the hospital
The goblin race of the Harry Potter world is a very anti-semitic stereotype and they are the main villains of the game. The story revolves around stopping a goblin uprising and in one of the trailers, a goblin mentions kidnapping the minor player character which can be interpreted as blood libel.
Harry Potter goblins are based on antisemitic caricatures, and this game blows it up even further by having them be treated as villains for fighting for their rights. The trans woman in the game is named Sirona Ryan and her naming choice is transphobic as it places unnatural emphasis on masculinity. It's certainly in-line with racist Harry Potter names like Cho Chang and Kingsley Shacklebolt.
sebastian’s sister, anne, is chronically ill due to being cursed (before the timeline of the game) and a large plotline is him trying to find the cure for her.
Since the game is set in the 1800s, there are no cars or planes. However, in the opening scene, a flying carriage is attacked, torn in half, and falls from the sky, which I imagine might be upsetting for similar reasons as a plane crash.
