Hogwarts Legacy: 10 Things It Should Use From The Movies

It's unclear what broomsticks would be available at this point in the timeline since it's far too early for a Nimbus 2000 or Firebolt. However, players might be able to craft their own unique flying objects to glide through the sk


**** Characters can be different genders, races, and even enter varying school houses. This is an open-world game with RPG elements after all. The zoom in on the owl on the carriage might also indicate players can choose a pet. Maybe it will always be an owl though which would also be f


Magical artifacts are another significant aspect of the Wizarding World. Harry Potter is known for using his Invisibility Cloak and Marauders Map to make his way through Hogwarts. Dumbledore is proud of his Deluminator, while the Weasley twins have all manner of prank and joke parapherna


It’s hard to see the first time but in the bottom right corner of the screen when the carriage is flying to Hogwarts, it says "Late 1800s." The stories involving Harry Potter take place in the 1990s whereas the Fantastic Beasts films take place in the 1920s. This means the team is giving themselves a lot of leeway to work with from the established lore. This will be less confusing for f


Persona is seemingly not the only game Hogwarts Legacy is emulating. There are brief scenes showing players exploring caves and underground passageways. This could mean there are crypts below Hogwarts to explore and solve like in the newer Tomb Raider games. Maybe these puzzles are tied to dungeons too, again, bringing it back to Perso


Reports have emerged today that the upcoming Harry Potter RPG Hogwarts Legacy will include a trans-inclusive character creator . Usually, when I hear that a video game is going to be trans-inclusive, my first thought is "oh that’s good, I hope they don’t mess it up." With Hogwarts Legacy, it’s a lot more complicated than that. Harry Potter as a franchise - and this game in particular - has a lot of red in the ledger when it comes to trans inclusivity. Not only is there JK Rowling’s history of transphobia to consider, there’s also the fact that the game’s lead designer Troy Leavitt used to run a GamerGate-adjacent, anti-SJW YouTube channel. It would be disingenuous to suggest that Hogwarts Legacy potion guide Legacy is building off a blank slate when it comes to including trans charact


On the other hand, games are developed by hundreds of staff, and the views of two people - even arguably the two most influential figures involved in said game - will not be shared by everyone. According to this report, the whole reason this trans inclusivity exists is because of pressure from the developers lower down the totem pole who are keen to balance out the views of Rowling in particular. But even then, we don’t know enough to be sure if this push for balance is out of a genuine desire to see trans representation in the game, or to get out in front of any incoming criticism. The fact you could stick a willy on a woman in Cyberpunk 2077 was frequently used to silence trans critiques of the game’s more problematic elements, and it’s natural that some Hogwarts Legacy devs might hope a trans witch could do the same for their own game. We just don’t k


Going back to Persona , that initial thought may not be far off from how this game works. The trailer talks about students managing bonds with others, showing players go through various activities from classrooms to just sitting around. It is a great premise to emulate for a game based on the Harry Potter universe. No one has really copied Atlus in this way yet so it’s about t


The mermaids were only featured in one instalment of the Harry Potter saga, but they still made a huge impact. Appearing during the Triwizard Tournament, they were tasked with protecting the stolen students that those competing had to s


The report also mentions being able to change body type, but will that mean a standard male or female silhouette, or more in-depth customisations of height and weight too? Where Cyberpunk 2077 included a brilliant trans character in Claire, most of the world felt incredibly binary, and I also fear that in Hogwarts Legacy, the only trans character featured will be you. This way, they get trans inclusion for those that want it, and neatly trim it out for those who don’t, which sits quite firmly on the fe


Given its popularity, the team over at Portkey Games simply has to include it. Older Potter games did this, allowing players to become heroes of the castle in the process. The chance to bring home Quidditch Cup glory is simply too good an opportunity to turn d


**Hogwarts Legacy ** has only teased a small amount of content for what is described to be an immense open world game, and fans can expect to see more of a menagerie than what's listed here. It's doubtful a Portkey Games world would exclude the presence of popular creatures like werewolves, pixies, Nifflers, or phoenixes, so Magizoologists can look forward to seeing a wide variety of fantastic beasts as they explore the wizarding world in this upcoming ti
