Q: Will you see Harry Potter, Hermione Granger or Ron Weasley in the game? A: No, Hogwarts Legacy is set in the 1800s, before the time period of J.K. Rowling's original stories.
Are any Harry Potter characters alive in Hogwarts Legacy?
Without a doubt, the most important and well-known character in all of Harry Potter who is alive during Hogwarts Legacy is Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, who has more of a chance of popping up than most well-established Potter characters.
Which actor from the Harry Potter series voices a character in Hogwarts Legacy? Luke Youngblood, known for his role as Lee Jordan in the Harry Potter series, voices the character Everett Clopton in Hogwarts Legacy.
Although the main characters of Harry Potter are absent in Hogwarts Legacy, some, such as Nearly Headless Nick and Peeves the Poltergeist, make appearances. The team also introduced a trans-inclusive character creator and the franchise's first transgender character, Sirona Ryan.
While no Malfoy can yet be expected in the game, the Black family's views on blood supremacy make them close Malfoy allies and the next best thing narratively. With some characters still unknown and the timing working so that player could run into a young Albus Dumbledore, players could expect some familiar encounters.
Hogwarts Legacy is set in 1890, meaning that Dumbledore is only nine when the game begins. Although he's not in the game, revisiting the location of his eventual fate at a time the character is so young is both quite interesting and deeply melancholic.
A fifth-year Gryffindor student, Garreth is the nephew of Professor Matilda Weasley. Apparently, however, he devotes more time to experimenting with his own range of magical drinks and relaxing on the Hogwarts school grounds, rather than focusing on his studies.
Sirona's deeper voice in Hogwarts Legacy might throw some off, but it's just a creative choice by the game developers. Voice actors can portray a wide range of characters, and this choice adds to the diversity and depth of the Hogwarts world.
Of course, since Hogwarts Legacy precedes the main series by about one hundred years, Tom Riddle has yet to be born during the game's events. This same sentiment applies to most Harry Potter characters, with the single exception being Albus Dumbledore.
If we had to guess the reason for this, the easy answer is that adding Quidditch to the already massive game would have taken a huge amount of extra work. This would have meant a more bloated budget, and longer development time, and clearly the developers found a core story that didn't require the sport to occur.
Neither Grindelwald nor Dumbledore are in Hogwarts Legacy, but both are canonically alive during its events. With Dumbledore being born in 1881, and with Grindelwald being born a year or two later, it means that both wizards were attending school during the 1890s when the game takes place.
In Hogwarts Legacy, players will embark on all the fun companion side quests that can be discovered throughout the school. Some familiar names will surface in these interactions, but the Potters appear to be absent. The Potters are a powerful family and initially pureblood.
In this very lavatory, the ghostly girl Myrtle aka Moaning Myrtle can be found who was tragically killed by the Basilisk. Fans have wondered whether or not they could enter the Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts Legacy, and unfortunately, you cannot.
Matilda Weasley - Hogwarts' Deputy Headmistress and Professor of Transfiguration. Born sometime before 1870, Matilda Weasley attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, just like the rest of her family before and after. Also like the rest of her family, Matilda was sorted into Gryffindor house.
According to a reply from the developer, there are no announced plans to include a Patronus in Hogwarts Legacy. In fact, the Patronus Charm isn't something you'll acquire at all during the campaign. That may sound disappointing to some fans, especially when you consider how iconic the magical ability is.
Said to have been constructed as a Death Hallow by Death, the Elder Wand appears in Hogwarts Legacy as the ultimate weapon for players to have, with two ways to get it. Capable of defeating any enemy in the game with any spell, the Elder Wand remains stronger than even Unforgivable Curses like Avada Kedavra.
