Time-Turners are special and fascinating objects in the Harry Potter universe, and, even though Hogwarts Legacy is set in the 1800s, it would be awesome to venture even further back in time. After all, there are so many questions about how the community started in the first place. Going back in time may help fill in the blanks, while also providing the foundations for a bold and daring qu

The Great Hall also looks familiar from the films. However, there are two new elements. First of all the plain windows from the films are now stained glass windows that represent each house. The tables have cloths representing each house too. On the subject of this area, the late arrival theory can also be backed up here. Everyone else in attendance has seen the Sorting Hat and is already dressed compared to the pla

Hogwarts Legacy may come across this issue with the Wizarding World, but Batman: Arkham City is a perfect example of how a well-known location like Gotham, can be portrayed in a unique way. For many this is the definitive version of the comic book city, combining elements from the source material and Rocksteady's own desi

While on the subject of lessons, that brings us onto teachers . Hogwarts, despite being a majestic school, doesn’t get every appointment right; from Severus Snape to Dolores Umbridge, Gilderoy Lockhart to Quirinus Quirrell, Albus Dumbledore’s judgement was definitely askew at ti

In the Order of the Phoenix movie, Sirius Black and Harry have a sweetheart to heart inside Number 12 Grimmauld Place . This conversation takes place in front of a giant family tapestry, which contains the name of Phineas Nigellus Black. The character used to be Hogwarts headmaster, and he is widely considered as one of the worst people to have taken on the role according to the fifth b

The lesson here is to take risks with the narrative. Hogwarts Mystery is after all set during Harry's era of the school's history, yet is still allowed a great deal of creative freedom. The ongoing storytelling, organized in chapters, is definitely something Hogwarts Legacy spells Legacy could c
