There were hundreds of people who worked on the game, and the game itself went out of it's way to feature trans characters. I doubt there's a single AAA game or mass produced product out there that isn't partially owned by some individual who you don't want to support, so I think singling out hogwarts legacy in particular to boycott is kind of meaningless.

You could argue that by boycotting it you're sending a message, and just singling it out as an example, but the game already sold incredibly well and is a huge success. I don't think there's any reason at this point that someone who grew up enjoying harry potter and wants to play the game should feel bad about it. Seems silly to deny yourself something you might enjoy over some small change going to a billionaire you don't like.
