Hogwarts Legacy revives old Potter fan dreams: finally experience your own adventures in Hogwarts, join a house, visit Diagon Alley, brew potions and study Defense Against the Dark Arts. Why does that appeal to us – and can it get really cool?
Géraldine and Natalie talk about the love for Harry Potter, the ups and downs of the Potter games and of course hopes and worries for Hogwarts Legacy the
Kaddi, better known as a YouTube legend Coldmirror and self-confessed Slytherin devotee, to whom we owe the rapping Dumbledore as well as the true meaning of the word “Ham”.
She has also been dissecting »Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone« frame by frame for years Harry Podcast and podcasts even more in We all hear each other – but for once not about Potter.
Accordingly, the podcast is brimming with Harry stories: Géraldine was able to write “Ron” before she could write “Géraldine”, Natalie committed the greatest crime of her life for Harry Potter and Kaddi wrote fan fiction about Professor Snape and… yes, that was it. It’s an adult podcast.
And then the games: there’s praise for the Lego spin-offs of Harry Potter and the legendary Quidditch World Cup, less enthusiasm for other things Electronic Arts and other publishers have done to the Potterverse.
That’s exactly what makes us waver between hopes and worries with Hogwarts Legacy: Yes, it could make dreams come true – but does Publisher Warner want too much?
Does this game need an open world? Will enough explode? Do you collect chocolate frog cards? Are there awkward supermarket moments? Kaddi already knows, because she actually invented the game!
