Laverne de Montmorency is another Harry Potter character players could see as a Hogwarts student. She was a famous potioneer known for the creation of love potions who could make it into the game as an interesting, talented potions student at Hogwarts. Montmorency was a Ravenclaw student that typically got mentioned by prefects in later decades when introducing new Ravenclaw first-year students into the legacy of their house. Other students players could encounter at Hogwarts include Dorcas Wellbeloved, the famous politically-inclined witch who founded the Society For Distressed Witches, and Licorus Black, the earliest known member of the House of Black that so prominently features in the books and fi

Well - that’s the perspective I often glean from social media, which is a breeding ground for aggressive transphobia and discussion around issues that seem more enamoured with parroting the views of bigots instead of placing an importance on the minority at the centre of it all. It’s difficult to be heard, especially when the government and so many prominent figures in the media seem happy to label trans people as predators, snowflakes, or a weird trend that can be phased out with enough opposition.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was the second game in the series to release, coming out in 2002. It follows the same blueprint as the Sorcerer's Stone but is enjoyable nonetheless and scores higher due to its shinier graphics, which are evid

The last Potter movie game in the EA series (that doesn't include the LEGO titles) was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. It loosely followed the movie of the same name, with players able to take control of Harry, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger as they break into Gringotts, escape Death Eaters in Hogsmeade, and then go up against Lord Voldemort in the Battle of Hogwa

Many important events happened in 1899, though it seems unlikely they'll be shown in the game, considering the Fantastic Beasts movies are in the process of covering them and due to their placement at the very end of the century. Ariana Dumbledore accidentally killed her mother and was taken under the care of her brother, Albus, who then graduated Hogwarts with flying colors. Soon after, Albus befriended Grindelwald, forming a brief, romantic relationship with him. This ended after a three-way duel between them and Albus's brother, Aberforth, when they accidentally killed Ariana Dumbledore. Finally, Eloise Mintumble severely disrupted time by getting stuck in the year 1

The late 1800s would be the most interesting years for Hogwarts Legacy story to take place in, as these are the years in which numerous events which affected the modern wizarding world took place. These are also the years in which more known characters would have attended Hogwarts, such as Albus, Ariana and Aberforth Dumbledore , or Thomas and Mary Riddle, Lord Voldemort's grandparents. The Dumbledores at Hogwarts would make for an emotional side narrative due to the events that led to Ariana's death at the age of fourteen, as well as the death of their mother, Kendra. Ariana's troubles controlling her own powers could tie into the main story and theme of Hogwarts Legacy , and have players decide to help - or ignore - Ariana. Taken a step further, there are a number of 'what if's' the story could explore, such as creating a more detailed backstory to Ariana by giving her the ability to wield the ancient magic players already know will take center stage in Hogwarts Legacy Guide Legacy 's story, and have this be the reason for the tragedy that befalls the Dumbledore family with her de

During the 1880s, Sir Herbert Varney - a vampire - preyed upon British women until he was caught and killed in 1889. Albus Dumbledore was born in 1881, and his brother Aberforth and former confidant Gellert Grindelwald were born a couple years later, in 1883. The same year, the 69th Potions Championship took place, and the Quidditch hoops seen today replaced the previous baskets. Many of these Quidditch changes resulted in a lot of backlash from witches and wizards, but endured until present day. The third Dumbledore child, Ariana, was born in 1

The Goblet of Fire is one of the strongest movies in the Potter series. Harry endures a typically difficult year at Hogwarts, thrown into the Triwizard Tournament despite being drastically younger than other competitors Cedric Diggory, Fleur Delacour, and Viktor Krum. And he then has a showdown with Lord Voldemort at the

It's fun just roaming the castle and its grounds, solving puzzles and soaking up the magical atmosphere. It's described as an 'unremarkable game that diehard fans may enjoy' but it definitely has its shortcomings, hence why it doesn't rank hig

So let’s meet that ultimatum with profound silence. Don’t tweet about her, don’t reflect on her comments or make fun jokes or memes surrounding her existence. We’re shining a spotlight on her views and bringing them into the vision of those who really don’t need another reminder that people hate them. Well, I could certainly do without it. Hogwarts Legacy, the upcoming open-world adventure from Avalanche Software has come under fire in recent months for a number of reasons, primarily due to Rowling’s potential involvement and the IP coming from a poisoned well that it can’t escape from. It’s a difficult situation.
