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

This decree is an ordinance that was established by the Ministry of Magic in 1875. Enforced by the Improper Use of Magic Office, it bans the use of underage magic outside of school. In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets , the house-elf Dobby uses a Hover Charm on Aunt Petunia's dessert, smashing it onto the floor. Harry is blamed, and receives a message from the Ministry warning him that another breach would result in his expulsion from Hogwarts. His most serious violation was the summer before his fifth year in The Order of the Phoenix, when he casts a Patronus Charm against Dementors attacking him and his cousin Dudley. This results in another notice telling him he is to be expelled. Thankfully, Dumbledore and other Order of the Phoenix members mediate for Harry, which clears his name during his disciplinary hear

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

From what has been released so far, Hogwarts Legacy appears to have an extensive character building option, as well as a large map with plenty of room for content such as a primary storyline and exploratory quests. For many players, roaming through the map of Hogwarts Legacy as an open world, while being able to customize a truly unique character, helps to immerse the player in the storyline as well as encourage replay value. By creating a character that is entirely their own, the experience feels different and fulfilling every time a player starts over. This is something that largely popular and successful games such as Skyrim nailed down years ago. Every replay is like a new game as a new character takes up the jour

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
