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 Wizarding World, created by the Harry Potter franchise, is expanding once again thanks to the upcoming release of Hogwarts Legacy , a brand new video game that will allow players to create their own Hogwarts Legacy story guide student and live the life of a witch or wizard at the magical sch
Given its popularity, the team over at Portkey Games simply has to include it. Older Potter games did this, allowing players to become heroes of the castle in the process. The chance to bring home Quidditch Cup glory is simply too good an opportunity to turn d
I know the devs are working hard. I know a lot of them are very good people. But this is true of literally every game. All devs work hard. Unless you buy every video game released each year to show how much you love video game developers, sympathy for the devs just doesn’t wash as a rea
Charms class was especially handy for Harry in his first year, when he used a levitation spell to knock out a troll in the girl's bathroom. Ever since fans have acknowledged just how important it is to learn how to swish and flick, along with a number of other wand moveme
Phineas’ backstory may be more fleshed out in Hogwarts Legacy , potentially explaining why he was so unpopular. In the source material, he ends up helping Albus Dumbledore and even Harry, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger when they go on the run. It would be curious to see him finally in the flesh instead of being a mere portrait hanging on a w
The Wizarding World in particular, especially at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, has made a great deal out of the singing toads that the Hogwarts' choir use. It's extremely likely therefore that players will be able to join in with that croaky chorus at some st
The 70th Potions Championship was held in 1890. 1891 was around the time when 6-year-old Ariana Dumbledore was attacked and traumatized by Muggle boys after seeing her do underage magic. Soon after, Percival Dumbledore - her father - was sent to Azkaban for seeking a brutal revenge on the boys. Albus Dumbledore started his first year at Hogwarts a year later, in 1892. It's possible he could make a youthful appearance in Hogwarts Legacy , if it takes place in this decade. In 1897, the 71st Potions Championship occurred, and famed Magizoologist Newt Scamander was b
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.
As the creator of Harry Potter, JK Rowling is impossible to completely de-platform. I’m not even arguing that we should try. But when we offer this elevated status as the transphobe, we martyr her and embolden her and her followers. JK Rowling argues her first ‘like’ on Twitter that signaled her transphobia was an innocent slip of a thing she meant to bookmark. I don’t think that’s too difficult to believe. It feels like she has reacted to light but justified criticism by jumping onto the other team with both feet, ignoring the fact that lurking just outside the centre of her group, where concerned feminists rally for cisgender rights, she is surrounded by the worst sorts of fascists, homophobes, and legislators who are going after trans women as a proxy for all women, and once they have secured victory over trans people, next it is gay people, then cis women.
The common room could act as a central hub for the playable characters, perhaps being a place where mini-games such as chess and gobstones can take place. Characters could even gamble with fictitious money, adding an extra layer of competition to thi
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
