At what point in the history of the wizarding world does Hogwarts Legacy take place?
Unlike the books and movies of Harry Potter, whose events take place during the year 1991, the Hogwarts Legacy game presents us with what Hogwarts Castle was like a hundred years before. That is to say, in the 1890s. So what is shown occurs even before the films of the film saga of Fantastic Animals.
The idea behind this initiative is twofold, according to Warner: to put the player at the epicenter of their own adventure and, at the same time, have creative freedom without having to contradict already published works.
The bad new. For reasons of pure logic, there is still almost a century left until Harry Potter and his friends are born, so we will not see them walking around Hogwarts school. In fact, his parents don’t even exist. But that does not prevent us from seeing familiar faces like the ghost of Nearly Headless Nick.
Does Hogwarts Legacy take place in the same universe as Harry Potter?
The games from the Portkey Games label are not adaptations of other works, but are based on them to create new stories. Despite this, and according to Warner, what we will see is firmly tied to the roots of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and the vision of J.K. Rowlingeven though the author has not been involved in the development of the game.
How is the house selection process at Hogwarts Legacy
At Hogwarts school, students can belong to four different houses: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. So even though they all share the same classes, students with common values and interests find themselves in their own common rooms.
Our character created for Hogwarts Legacy will integrate later than expected and will enter the fifth year, but will go through the same system as the younger students: through a Sorting Hat We can choose which of the four houses to join.
In addition to this, it is possible to advance the process through the official website of the magical world in which we can create a profile and transfer our preferences and exclusive content to the game once we have linked the accounts.
Is it possible to fly or perform forbidden spells at Hogwarts Legacy?
You may be a student, but Hogwarts Legacy It is an open world RPG and that is synonymous with freedom and ample free will. In addition to going to regular classes like Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts or Herbology, we can walk freely and even fly on a broomstick or on the back of other beasts.
As it happens in the novels, our character will be involved in a series of events and we will have to measure our skill in magic duels with wands. And yes, forbidden spells like By the Empire, by the Cross or the killing curse Open Kedavra They can be learned throughout the game.
Hogwarts Legacy has the necessary ingredients to become the best game ever made based on the Magical world. It has not been exempt from controversy, of course, but it has had ambitions from the beginning to offer fans of Harry Potter that letter of admission to Hogwarts Castle that all of us who have read the books or seen the movies have dreamed of. A long postponed dream that will soon come true.
From here, the last question you have to answer. Are you sure which of the four Hogwarts houses you are going to join?
