Method

The solution is Vert -. But, there is a show-stopping flaw where the bottom of menus are cut off so bad that you can't load saved games.

For me, the config file was in:

C:\My Documents\Harry Potter\HP.ini

[windrv.windowsclient]
FullscreenViewportx=
FullscreenViewporty=

Then, in the user.ini file, edit these lines:

[Engine.PlayerPawn]
DesiredFOV=100.39
DefaultFOV=100.39

The default FOV is 90, so the 16:10 FOV is 100.39487232

Known Issues

The bottom of the main menu is cut off, and you can't load saved games. The game is virtually unplayable.
