Hogwarts Legacy: 5 Things We Know And 5 Questions That Need Answers

The success of Hogwarts Legacy patch notes 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 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


The trailer already showcased a wand shop that was very likely to be in Diagon Alley. Those looking for a darker path will also be able to step onto Knockturn alley and see what horrible secrets there are to discover th


But okay, let’s leave all that aside and take a look at the creator itself. Right off the bat, things aren’t great, as it forces you to choose "witch" or "wizard", meaning in this magical world of grumblesnorks, non-binary people are still a myth. It seems as though your pronouns are also tied to this choice, meaning you can still look and sound however you want, and still be referred to as your preferred gender. I’m not sure this balances out the lack of non-binary options, but it’s a good step at le


The release of this game has also led some fans to imagine other incredibly popular movie universes that would make for fantastic open world games. Some of these universes would be so well suited to an open world game that it is shocking they haven’t been made


There’s little doubt that Lola was one of the best __ characters in Space Jam 2 , mainly due to being the only truly competent member of LeBron James’ team. She was brave throughout the story and had a strict sense of justice, which are traits mainly associated with Gryffin


I’m not sure Hogwarts Legacy’s trans character creator makes that big of a difference to the game’s place in the industry, what it represents, or whether it absolves the game of any of JK Rowling’s baked-in guilt. It certainly doesn’t change how I feel about it. Hopefully, though, it can at least be a helpful stepping stone for a triple-A game to one day get trans representation right from start to finish. Until then, yet again the game industry is moving two steps forward, one step b


Having a pet is essential to any Hogwarts student, so how will the open-world RPG handle choosing one? Everyone knows the acceptance letter states that you may bring an owl, cat, or toad, but what if it wasn't that way in the 1800s? Considering that fantastic beasts are in the game, can you tame one and make it your best fri


Malik never wanted to mooch off LeBron’s fame, nor did he push for his friend to take the Warner Bros. deal even though it would have benefited him. Despite clearly being scared of entering Al-G’s server room, Malik didn’t flee when he saw LeBron and his family disappear, proving the strength of his friendship attrib


The Great Lake and the Forbidden Forest are two areas of Hogwarts' grounds that players have been able to explore in past Harry Potter video games. They are also a key part of the story throughout the films and bo


The Pitch has also been featured in past games and it's a fun location to visit especially to create some form of mini-game surrounding the wizarding sport. It's sure to bring out the house pride in many f

While Nightmare Before Christmas certainly fits into the Disney universe, the world of Nightmare Before Christmas is so big that it easily deserves its own game, potentially even expanding on the mythology of the wo


There were a few glimpses of a room that looked to be the Room of Requirement in the trailer, but even if not initially confirmed, it's difficult to imagine Hogwarts Legacy won't allow fans to visit one of the most famous hidden mysteries of the sch


Slytherins have a notable trait of vanity, and Al-G is a textbook example. He not only wanted recognition for simply doing his job but also desired to be treated like a king. Moreover, Al-G judged LeBron for his fame and overlooked that he was a humble man who didn’t care about social sta


Angus Buchanan, the aforementioned sorting hat Squib, won the first international rugby match for Scotland's Muggle team in 1871 against England and eventually became respected by wizards and Muggles alike. 1875 brought about the discovery of Gripping Charms, which did away with the use of straps on Quaffles, revolutionizing how Quidditch was played. The same year, the Ministry of Magic passed the Decree For The Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery - one that Harry Potter was known to breach a handful of times. It's worth noting that the Hogwarts Legacy trailer shows what looks like students being able to use magic outside of Hogwarts, and it would be quite comical if the player's actions were responsible for this decree. Additionally in 1875, Violet Tillyman - the witch who disappeared in the Floo Network 20 years prior - came out of hiding with the passing of her oppressive husband Albert Tillyman, explaining she ended up in the home of Myron Otherhaus. She instantly fell in love with Otherhaus, and the two had been living together in secrecy for the past couple deca
