Shadow of Mordor did an ok job (although that at least had some characters), but that was a generally exceptional game and the lore of LOTR is deeper and more interesting. |
It will work out incredibly. Harry Potter lore and magic is something fans are super invested in, particularly the idea of being a hogwarts student with your own patronous etc. I mean there's a whole themepark based on it.
I'd argue Harry Potter lore immediately presents a more interesting and inviting universe for the average person versus LOTR which in modern age is comparably generic on the surface level because others have burrowed so much from it (war centric high fantasy), especially if we look at how its applied in games like Shadow of Modor.
