Even featuring the changing ceiling, the Great Hall looks like it has been recreated effectively in the game. The Staircases that lead on from the Great Hall will be the main way that players are able to travel, although they should beware that they sometimes m

However, it's worth noting that Hogwarts Legacy will extend far beyond the limits of the school grounds, and as such players could see other characters appear like the Minister of Magic. According to Harry Potter lore, there were three different Ministers in the early 1800s. The first one was Grogan Stump, who held office from 1811 to 1819, and a big part of his legacy was the creation of the Being, Beast, and Spirit divisions within the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. If this character is included in the story, players could expect some side missions related to taming or battling magical creatures, as this is one of the main features that was unveiled in the Hogwarts Legacy trail

Players won't be able to go through a full year at the famous school of sorcerers without playing Quidditch at some stage. To do so the Quidditch Pitch has to be available in the game, in all of its gl

Diagon Alley and its sister street Knockturn Alley really serve as Harry's first step into the Wizarding World. Boasting inns like the Leaky Cauldron, wand shops like Ollivanders, and a whole host of other surprising stores and restaurants, these two Alleys will certainly be an exciting place for players to st

As an adult, Angus Buchanan became a famous player for the Scottish rugby team, and published the best-seller "My Life As A Squib" in the Wizarding World. Due to all the details available on this backstory, the studio could decide to incorporate this line of events into a side story of the player's journey at Hogwarts, and have the player make a choice between exposing Angus as a Squib or helping him stay at Hogwarts just a little lon

Do these mysterious figures have a connection to He Who Must Not Be Named? Unraveling the threads and dueling wands with these characters needs to give players an enemy to fear out in the wild. Hogwarts Legacy can't work without a solid structure of enemies to tangle with (literally if Levicorpus is an opti

The 66th Potions Championship was held in 1862, and the infamous Borgin and Burkes shop was established in Knockturn Alley in 1863 by Caractacus Burke. There were a few notable events in 1865: The Knight Bus was created, and Faris Spavin took over McPahil's position as Minister of Magic until 1903, serving the longest out of any other Minister. Additionally, the Ministry of Magic decided to relinquish full control of Gringotts Bank to the Goblins. In 1869, the 67th Potions Championship was h

Hogwarts Legacy happening a century before any of the books could be a significant clue for fans. Critical characters to the magical universe J.K. Rowling created attended the school for witches and wizards during the late 1800s. Dumbledore started attending Hogwarts in 1892, and Grindelwald was a student at the same time at the Durmstrang Instit

There will be some kind of narrative trickery to make sure everything makes sense for Harry's time at Hogwarts, but at some stage, fans should be able to visit the Chamber and perhaps even fight a smaller version of the Basil

It's hard to imagine that Warner Bros. Games would neglect to include this in the franchise's first open-world title, but stranger things have happened. It's a shame that a quality Quidditch experience is hard to find, and Hogwarts Legacy is the perfect opportunity to correct that hist

The Hogwarts Express was established in 1830, but Platform 9¾ was created in 1952. The Wizarding Schools Potions Championship is held every seven years, with the 65th being held in 1855, so it's possible the player could participate in one of these. Also in 1855, Violet Tillyman became the only witch to disappear using the Floo Network , scaring other witches and wizards away from that mode of transportation for months after the event. In 1858, Dugald McPhail became Minister of Magic for the next seven years, which was considered a peaceful time. The same year, Angus Buchanan became the only Squib to attend the sorting hat process at Hogwarts, only to be told he was a " good-hearted chap, but no wizard ," according to the Wizarding World webs

While there might be something worth saying about the possibility of having the game choose randomly, no one wants to play under a banner they haven't associated with for years. Competing for house points should reach new heights in Hogwarts Legacy Beasts Legacy, and it's something to look forward to (or fight ov
