The Wizarding World, created by the Harry Potter franchise, is expanding once again thanks to the upcoming release of Hogwarts Legacy , a brand new video game that will allow players to create their own Hogwarts student and live the life of a witch or wizard at the magical sch
Albus Dumbledore attended Hogwarts during the 1800s, meaning it’s highly possible the Hogwarts Headmaster will make an appearance in some form. Gellert Grindelwald went to Durmstrang around the same period, and it’s also feasible he’ll appear, as well, perhaps acting as the game’s main vill
The success of Hogwarts Legacy – the success of any Harry Potter project – is her success, and even though she is not involved with the game itself, supporting it is supporting her. It’s not about the money; I know she’s already rich. It’s about the fact she continues to have a platform for her views, continues to be an aspirational public figure, and continues to be celebrated despite repeated transphobic – and often factually incorrect – comments on her blog posts, Twitter account, and even in her nove
The common room could act as a central hub for the playable characters, perhaps being a place where mini-games such as chess and gobstones can take place. Characters could even gamble with fictitious money, adding an extra layer of competition to thi
The Wizarding World in particular, especially at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, has made a great deal out of the singing toads that the Hogwarts’ choir use. It’s extremely likely therefore that players will be able to join in with that croaky chorus at some st
I know the devs are working hard. I know a lot of them are very good people. But this is true of literally every game. All devs work hard. Unless you buy every video game released each year to show how much you love video game developers, sympathy for the devs just doesn’t wash as a rea
Editor’s Note: Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling has been accused of transphobia by those in the LGBTQ+ community. Although not directly involved in the development of Hogwarts Legacy, Rowling does stand to earn royalties from the game. We would like to reiterate our support for trans rights and that trans identities are valid. Support services are listed below for trans people impacted by discussions of transpho
The characters players will encounter at Hogwarts won’t be limited to other students, however. The school headmaster and different teachers will likely have important roles, and one of the characters that is likely to appear is Phineas Nigellus Black. In the Harry Potter series, the portrait of Phineas Black actually plays an important role, so it would be nice to see that referenced in some way in Hogwarts Legacy. Phineas could be included in the game as both a teacher or in his later role as Headmaster of Hogwarts, both positions which he loathed. Later in the series, fans see another portrait of him at Grimmauld Place. During Harry, Ron, and Hermione’s quest to find the Horcruxes, Hermione keeps his portrait in her beaded bag to avoid him telling Snape of their whereabouts. Phineas went down in history as the most hated Hogwarts headmaster, and players could experience a very different character from the gentle and wise Dumbledore they might remember from the books and films. Phineas as a character would likely be more similar to experiencing caretaker Argus Filch as a headmas
The Hogwarts Legacy reveal trailer opens with the playable character’s overdue arrival at Hogwarts and states the setting takes place in the late 1800s. Generally speaking, this could be 1850 onward, although it’s more likely to take place after the late 1860s. That said, here’s a look at some important events that took place from the mid 1800s through the turn of the cent
The class may be a little hokey in some places, but there’s a lot of fun to be had with reading tea leaves and trying to figure out what the crystal ball is really trying to tell the students. This is a lesson that could even play into the larger plot of the g
Harry ends up going into the Forbidden Forest during pretty much every movie, barring the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 . It’s made clear in the Sorcerer’s Stone that it’s off-limits to all students, but this doesn’t stop the Boy Who Lived from ending up there with ridiculous frequency, encountering strange and dangerous beasts from Centaurs to Werewolves, Dementors to an unhinged Flying Ford Ang
Other Ministers of the era include Dugald McPhail, who came up with the idea of the Knight Bus, an emergency means of transportation for stranded witches and wizards, and Faris Sparvin, the longest-ever serving Minister for Magic. Sparvin survived an assassination attempt and introduced one of the most significant pieces of legislation of the wizarding world: the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery. Although this wasn’t enforced until 1875, which could be considered the late 1800s, it would make sense for this Minister to make an appearance, as there is reason to believe that the events that take place in Hogwarts Legacy Character Guide Legacy are the ones that lead to this legislation being enfor
