It's been a long time since fans got a Harry Potter game for consoles and, while the story won't be based on his own adventures, it's going to be pretty special going back to Hogwarts. So, with Hogwarts Legacy now announced and unveiled, it's time to look at how the Potter movie games fared with Gamespot reviewers in previous ye

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

Of course, Rowling has also pointed out the more personal, more misogynist abuse she has received. Again, I don’t think Rowling is an irredeemable monster. I don’t think anything is solved by calling her a bitch, or worse. The problem is that this is a verbally violent issue on both sides.

JK Rowling has been in the headlines for three reasons recently; something she tweeted, the Guardian’s Person of the Year poll, and the Harry Potter reunion special. As a trans woman, you often get accused of being obsessed with JK Rowling, so I want to establish that there are three significant reasons she has been constantly in the press recently, and asking you all, once and for all, to shut up about her. Please. With a new Harry Potter movie and video game out next year, please heed this call.

Angus Buchanan, the aforementioned sorting hat Squib, won the first international rugby match for Scotland's Muggle team in 1871 against England and eventually became respected by wizards and Muggles alike. 1875 brought about the discovery of Gripping Charms, which did away with the use of straps on Quaffles, revolutionizing how Quidditch was played. The same year, the Ministry of Magic passed the Decree For The Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery - one that Harry Potter was known to breach a handful of times. It's worth noting that the Hogwarts Legacy trailer shows what looks like students being able to use magic outside of Hogwarts, and it would be quite comical if the player's actions were responsible for this decree. Additionally in 1875, Violet Tillyman - the witch who disappeared in the Floo Network 20 years prior - came out of hiding with the passing of her oppressive husband Albert Tillyman, explaining she ended up in the home of Myron Otherhaus. She instantly fell in love with Otherhaus, and the two had been living together in secrecy for the past couple deca

The new Harry Potter video game, Hogwarts Legacy _ , takes place about a century before Harry receives his enrollment letter. So, while fans aren't likely to see a lot of familiar faces in the new game, there are some predictable events that could happen based on what is known from the canon lore of the _Harry Potter universe. Broken up into five decades, this article explores distinct incidents throughout the later half of the universe's 19th cent

On the subject of the carriage, one might also be able to deduce that players will come into Hogwarts as the semester is already in session. This is similar to how the protagonist of the Persona games always enter their school years. Why? Well, first years always go by boat. After that, they can take these flying carriages starting from the second year all the way to the seventh. The player is also alone without other new kids joining them which backs up this late arrival the

Editor’s Note: Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling has been accused of transphobia by those in the LGBTQ+ community. Although not directly involved in the development of Hogwarts Legacy, Rowling does stand to earn royalties from the game. We would like to reiterate our support for trans rights and that trans identities are valid. Support services are listed below for trans people impacted by discussions of transpho

It doesn’t matter if you agree with her or not. That she regularly tweets things like this, allows herself to be held up as the mascot for the most extreme transphobes out there, and only ever calls out abuse against her supporters and never by them makes her extremely controversial. This is what life is going to be for her from now on. The Harry Potter special took place without her. I doubt she will have any role in Fantastic Beasts’ marketing. Hogwarts Legacy has already made it clear she is not involved in the game. No one wants anything to do with her.

Persona is seemingly not the only game Hogwarts Legacy is emulating. There are brief scenes showing players exploring caves and underground passageways. This could mean there are crypts below Hogwarts Legacy News to explore and solve like in the newer Tomb Raider games. Maybe these puzzles are tied to dungeons too, again, bringing it back to Perso
