Set in the 1800s, Hogwarts Legacy casts you as a Hogwarts student with a rare connection to ancient magic. As a threat grows in the wizarding world, you meet fellow students and other allies while pursuing the mystery behind that power.
Explore Hogwarts, Hogsmeade and the surrounding countryside on foot or by broom. Take on story missions and side quests, solve environmental puzzles, encounter magical creatures and fight dark wizards and other enemies with spells.
Customize your character, learn spells and improve talents as you progress. Brew potions, grow plants and care for magical beasts; the Room of Requirement can be arranged as a personal space for these activities.
Reviewers who enjoyed the game often highlight the detailed recreation of Hogwarts and its surroundings, the atmosphere of exploring the wizarding world, broom flight and spell-based combat. Some describe the experience as a nostalgic realization of a childhood fantasy, while others enjoyed exploring despite not being Harry Potter fans. Critical reviews frequently say that side activities and puzzles become repetitive, and that the main story, character relationships and player choices lack depth or meaningful consequences.
Hogwarts Legacy is an open-world action RPG set in the world first introduced in the Harry Potter books. Embark on a journey through familiar and new locations as you explore and discover magical beasts, customize your character and craft potions, master spell casting, upgrade talents and become the wizard you want to be.
Experience Hogwarts in the 1800s. Your character is a student who holds the key to an ancient secret that threatens to tear the wizarding world apart. Make allies, battle Dark wizards, and ultimately decide the fate of the wizarding world. Your legacy is what you make of it. Live the Unwritten.
