FANTASTIC BEASTS

Hogwarts Legacy promises loads of fantastic beasts. And we know where to find ’em. Keep an eye out for curious centaurs. Steer clear of the endangered but totes dangerous Graphorn. There are cute cat-like Kneazle to wonder at out in the wilds. Plus, our fave, the naughty nicker of shiny things, Nifflers!

MIGHTY MAGIC

All Hogwarts students know their enlightened Lumos from their disarming Expelliarmus. But Hogwarts Legacy has sneaky new magic. Ancient magic. Dangerous magic! Here, forgotten magic is remembered. And memorable. Like what? Like, transforming mirrors into liquid with a touch. Or a camouflage potion that rocks by making you look like rocks!

WELL SCHOOLED

We’re sorta psyched that you get to experience the all-important Sorting Ceremony (and pick your house). But you’ll mostly play as a fifth-year Hogwarts hero. Sooo, broomstick basics mastered. History of Magic classes are history. Magical electives elected. And O.W.L. prep hooted. But don’t fret. There’s still plenty of sorcery schooling ahead!

NOT-SO-COMMON ROOMS

In the Harry Potter flicks, we’ve seen three of the four common rooms. Towering Gryffindor’s lounge via the password-protected portrait. The riddle-tastic Ravenclaw room. And the sneaky dungeon-dwelling Slytherin space. Now we finally get to see Hufflepuff’s hangs in Hogwarts Legacy! It’s a cool space stuffed with quilts, plants and rad round doors.

SPELLBINDING SKILLS

You don’t ace Defence of the Dark Arts to avoid warring wizards. Hogwarts Legacy has charming and charm-stuffed combat. Make the most of that Shield Spell. Pop potions to get an edge. And wield the wild wonders of your wild wand in epic magic battles!

EDUCATIONAL EXPLORATION

Hogwarts may be your home in Hogwarts Legacy. But there’s a wonderful wizarding world to explore outside its walls. Head to Hogsmeade. Find fun in the Forbidden Forest. Or dive into the delights of Diagon Alley. Leg it there. Brush up on your broomstick skills. Or, our fave, fly on the back of a heaps rad Hippogriff!
