Hogwarts Legacy: 10 Character Customization Options Fans Want For The Harry Potter Game
2026.03.02 17:07
The Hogwarts Legacy game has showcased that dragons will be a part of the player's own journey, with one getting dangerously close to burning the hero character to a crisp in the trailer. Hopefully there will be a huge range of species to explore in the game, such as Hungarian Horntails and Norwegian Ridgeba
The report also mentions being able to change body type, but will that mean a standard male or female silhouette, or more in-depth customisations of height and weight too? Where Cyberpunk 2077 included a brilliant trans character in Claire, most of the world felt incredibly binary, and I also fear that in Hogwarts Legacy, the only trans character featured will be you. This way, they get trans inclusion for those that want it, and neatly trim it out for those who don’t, which sits quite firmly on the fe
Ghosts are all over Hogwarts and may even be able to help out players on their various missions and adventures. There may be an opportunity to include a few familiar faces here, from the Grey Lady to Nearly Headless N
Filch is a menacing presence in the Potter movies, even if his role lessens with each passing movie. It would be great to see Hogwarts have a similarly sinister caretaker during the 1800s. Stealth missions that involve evading them would be fun to play, especially if there are added consequences such as house points being docked or detention. Fingers crossed they’re just as hapless as Filch himsel
Aside from the peculiar Buchanan family, there's a more prominent character fans could meet as a Hogwarts Legacy Updates student: Kendra Dumbledore. Kendra was Albus and Aberforth's mother, and is believed to have lived from 1851 to 1899. Although what is known about Kendra is limited to the events that led to her death in the late 1800s, it is possible Hogwarts Legacy producers will use the opportunity to develop her character as a Hogwarts student, and the struggles of being a Muggle-born witch during a time in which the prominence of pure-blood families was far more significant than in more modern ti
House elves are heavily featured in the Harry Potter novels. While Dobby and Kreacher are largely featured at the start and end of this ongoing saga, the house elves that work beneath Hogwarts castle are never s
Even if these locations are unavailable in the game, it would be great to see some Easter eggs for these competing schools. The option to wear uniforms from the other institutions for instance would be a brilliant way to show support for the Triwizard competit
For the most part, Hogwarts will be the location that players will be spending the majority of their time. What's more, their home away from home will be their dormitories, which they will be sharing with their fellow students. It would be cool to see a little bit of personality added to these locati
Regardless of how much lore the game producers decide to draw inspiration from, Hogwarts Legacy will introduce new characters and fresh storylines. According to the Hogwarts Legacy website, the new story in this game will be completely in line with existing Wizarding World lore, even if it is a new story free of J.K. Rowling's writing. The lore that is currently available stems not only from the initial Harry Potter novels, but also from excerpts written by J.K. Rowling that have been released online over the last few ye
Harvey Ridgebit, who becomes a renowned dragonologist, could easily become part of the story. Ridgebit was the one who established the largest dragon sanctuary in Romania, which fans hear about at the beginning of the Harry Potter series as the place where Ron Weasley's older brother, Charlie, lives and works. Ridgebit could be a character to introduce players to battling - or taming - dragons, which players already know from the reveal trailer will be a significant part of Hogwarts Legacy 's gamep
Hogwarts Legacy will be set in the 1800s, which is way before Harry first walks through the giant oak doors of the Great Hall . That also rules out many other characters appearing, simply because they’re too young. However, not every single person from JK Rowling’s novel is a baby (or not even that) at that t
If Hogwarts Legacy takes place in the early 1800s, there are several Hogwarts students that players could encounter that won't be completely new. Alberic Grunnion, for example, who prominently featured on a Chocolate Frog card mentioned in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone , was born in 1803 and attended Hogwarts from 1814 to 1821. Grunnion was the nineteenth-century wizard that invented the Dungbomb, a magical stink bomb that prominently features in the books and films as one of the 'Weasley & Weasley' shop produ
If fans are going to have to be real students during their time playing Hogwarts Legacy then they should also be able to customize their schedule. As pupils get older, they are normally allowed to drop subjects and pick up new areas of inter
