Warner Bros. Games and Avalanche Software today revealed some of the well-known voice talent for The legacy of Hogwarts, an upcoming open-world action role-playing game set in a 19th-century wizarding world. Developed by Avalanche Software and published by Warner Bros. Games under the label Portkey Games, The legacy of Hogwarts allows players to experience student life at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry like never before, as they live unwritten lives and embark on a perilous journey to discover the hidden truth of the wizarding world.
IN The legacy of Hogwartsactor Simon Pegg plays Phineas Nigellus Black, the grumpy headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. From a long line of Slytherins, Headmaster Black is hated by his students, who he also deeply despises. Extremely maladjusted to his job, he aims to do as little work as possible and avoid exposure to the students – preferring to focus on his status in the wizarding world and his surgically groomed beard.
As fifth year students entering Hogwarts for the first time, Sebastian Croft and Amelia Getting play two voice options for the game’s playable avatar, which is highly customizable, allowing players to choose the witch or wizard they want to be.

Candace Caine she plays Professor Onai who was once a divination teacher at Uagado, the world’s largest wizarding school, and a gifted seer whose faith in her sight is shaken by the fact that she did not foresee the loss of her husband.

Almost Headless Nick, the house spirit of Gryffindor, also known as Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, is kind and funny, if a bit pompous. He could be the key to helping a Gryffindor player find the answers crucial to solving a significant mystery – if they’re willing to do him a small favor that includes some rotten roast beef! And finally, the iconic Sorting Hat, a sentient, magical hat, uses knowledge from the student’s past along with player input to determine which Hogwarts house will match.
