https://i.ytimg.com/vi/INWIl09Pr7E/hq720.jpg"Harry Potter fans have been begging for an Auror game ever since
https://hogwartslegacyfans.com/ Legacy was released, and it isn't a huge mystery why we likely don't have one already. The primary issue is that an Auror game would require a more adult bent, and despite having many adult themes, the Harry Potter IP is still largely meant for younger audien
The Shrieking Shack was secluded from everything else and was the perfect stop for Remus to transfer into his monstrous half. Stupidly, Sirius Black would eventually tell Severus Snape how to avoid the Whomping Willow, and Snape, being curious, proceeds to do this on the night of a full moon. On that night, Snape almost faced death by a transformed Remus, but was saved by James Potter. This was part of what cemented Sirius and Snape as mortal enemies for the rest of their living d
Upon releasing an announcement trailer at the PS5 Showcase , the developers also added a wallpaper that proves Hogwarts Legacy may be breaking Harry Potter canon to their website. Obviously, the wallpaper puts the Hogwarts castle at centerstage, but just to the right of Hogwarts is a very particular looking tree. The tree is the infamous Whomping Willow, which has been an intriguing part of Hogwarts for a long t
Notable Aurors in the Wizarding World include Mad-Eye Moody, Nymphadora Tonks, Percival Graves, Ron Weasley, and of course, Harry Potter himself. An Auror game could place you in the role of these characters, or could give players a chance to develop and roleplay as their own personalized Au
Hogwarts Legacy still has a lot to share, and it has only been just announced, but looking at what is known provides clues into its future. The game may very well be an MMO, but at as of right now it looks to be a mix of multiplayer and single-player, emphasizing personal customization and jolly cooperation. With the game slated for release in 2021, which is just around the corner, fans will not have to wait long to find
Since the developers have already made it clear that a lot of the game will take place both in and outside of Hogwarts, it's hard to imagine the player's adventures away from school being devoid of magical use. The trailer portrays a student fighting off a masked villain in a dark woods — likely the Forbidden Forest — along with encountering trolls and dragons in unidentifiable settings. One shot shows a student attacking a charging Graphorn with his wand, before dodging out of harm's way. Whether or not this takes place on school grounds is uncertain. Still, using magic outside of school seems like a must in this game, considering a good chunk of time is spent away from Hogwa
Despite being an intelligent humanoid race, goblins have faced much adversity and persecution in the Harry Potter universe, particularly in the 17th and 18th centuries when goblin rebellions were prevalent. Many wizards still consider them a subservient race, and to this day they are forbidden from using wands by The Ministry of Magic. In Chapter 15 of The Order of the Phoenix, the Daily Prophet claimed there were still disruptive groups of goblins even during the 1990s, although no concrete evidence supported the newspaper's claim. It seems entirely likely for some goblins to still harbor resentment towards wizards. In 1877, the 393rd Quidditch World Cup became known as " The Tournament that Nobody Remembers, " as a venue was selected, tickets were sold, and players were injured, but no one can recall the events of that day. It's not known for sure what happened, but speculation has narrowed the blame to either a colossal outbreak of Cerebrumous Splattergroit (a fungus causing confusion and memory loss) or a mass Memory Charm perpetuated by the Goblin Liberation Fr
Since Hogwarts
Legacy takes place over 100 years prior to the 1990s storyline, it's entirely possible some of the player's actions could bring about events established by the time Harry Potter receives his letter for the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A likely example of this could be the enactment of The Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorc
The "late 1800s" could encompass anything between 1850-1900, although it seems more likely to be 1870 onward. A big clue was dropped from Avalanche's Head of Story, Adrian Ropp, in a
PlayStation Blog post, where he says in reference to the game's setting, " Goblins were around, but this lot certainly didn't work at Gringotts. " Canon history states that in 1865, the Ministry of Magic relinquished full control of Gringotts Wizarding Bank to the goblins, who were still in charge when Harry Potter made his first visit in The Sorcerer's Stone . While this heavily hints at the events of Hogwarts Legacy occurring prior to 1865, it could also indicate that the setting occurs in the 18
The trailer for Hogwarts Legacy states that the game takes place in the late 1800s, and the Warner Bros. FAQ page confirms that the game is firmly rooted in the Harry Potter universe. That being said, it's within the realm of possibility that the banning of underage magic could be passed during the timeline of the game, especially considering the open-world RPG's premise: The playable character possesses the unusual ability to recognize and master an Ancient Magic, thus holding the key to an archaic secret that threatens the fate of the wizarding world. Players can hone their magical abilities, face off against lethal enemies, and encounter scenarios that will determine where their morality lies. Although a decent amount of gameplay will take place within Hogwarts castle, players can also explore areas beyond the school such as the Forbidden Forest, Hogsmeade Village, and " new and unexpected location
