More specifically, Hogwarts Legacy is set in 1890, 100 years before Harry joined the wizarding academy in 1991, and 300 years before the Fantastic Beasts series. This puts players in the center of their own adventure, even before Tom Riddle was born.
How long before Fantastic Beasts is Hogwarts Legacy?
Currently, the entire timeline can be summarized to take place between 1890 and 1998. Hogwarts Legacy takes place in 1890, Fantastic Beasts between 1926 and 1945, and Harry Potter between 1991 and 1998. Hogwarts Legacy is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
How many years is between Fantastic Beasts and Harry Potter?
Set seventy years before the adventures of Harry Potter and following the adventures of its fictional author Newt Scamander, the film would mark both Rowling's screenwriting debut and the first intended instalment in a new series, tentatively entitled Fantastic Beasts.
Hogwarts Legacy is placed before any other of the installments in the series. Set in 1890, this video game's story occurs 100 years before Harry Potter arrives at Hogwarts. The Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them trilogy, however, starts in 1926, only 36 years after the events in Hogwarts Legacy.

Is Dumbledore alive in Hogwarts Legacy?
Although Dumbledore himself isn't in Hogwarts Legacy, the Astronomy Tower where he famously fell to his death, of course, is and its location reveals a sad truth.
He is born in 1881, so he is too young to be serving as headmaster during the events of the game. However, Dumbledore could possibly appear in future Hogwarts Legacy games.
In the Deathly Hallows, Grindewald refused to tell Voldemort the location of the Elder Wand. When Voldemort was taunted by Grindelwald telling him to kill him if he wanted because he would not reveal it, he killed Grindelwald with the Killing Curse.
Examining Newt Scamander's social interactions, sensory sensitivities, and special interests and routines offers valuable insights into his character. While some argue that these traits align with autism, it is important to note that the character's creators have not explicitly confirmed his autism spectrum diagnosis.
Voldemort was born Tom Riddle in 1926, which is when the first Fantastic Beasts film takes place. In Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, there's a bit of a time jump, setting the year as 1932. This would make Tom Riddle around 6 years old at the time.
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.
Professor Matilda Weasley is likely Ron Weasley's great-great-great-great aunt, based on their shared ancestry and the four-generation gap between them. It is unlikely that Professor Weasley has any direct children, as she longed for a more stable lifestyle and is still unmarried during the events of Hogwarts Legacy.
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.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (the film, not the text book of the same name,) is set in 1926 making Newt 29 years old on his first appearance. So yes, he is older than Harry Potter ever was during the books. By the end of Deathly Hallows Newt would have been 101 years of age.
The theory suggests that Newt Scamander, the eccentric magizoologist and main character of the "Fantastic Beasts" series, displays characteristics commonly associated with autism. It proposes that his unique behaviors, mannerisms, and interactions with others could be indicative of an autism spectrum disorder.
But J.K. Rowling has never confirmed that is what she intended. It's possible she accidentally wrote an autistic character. Many authors base their characters on people they've met. Right now it is believed 1 in 45 people are autistic, so it's possible Rowling met an autistic person that became who Luna was based on.
Newt Scamander was only mentioned in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone as the author of the book Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, which was used as a textbook for Care of Magical Creatures by Harry Potter and his classmates.
Malfoy is also convinced (to a certain extent) that it is Harry, but he isn't so sure, so he asks his son - Draco - if he recognises him. Unfortunately, Malfoy isn't sure of it as well, so Lucius has no evidence or confirmation that it is Harry.
Newt's contributions to Magizoology earned him the Order of Merlin, Second Class, and was also honored with his very own Chocolate Frog Card. He retired in the early 1990s and lived in Dorset with Tina and their pet Kneazles: Hoppy, Milly, and Mauler.
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.
Albus ended up in Slytherin because he couldn't stop thinking about ending up in Slytherin, and so the Sorting Hat couldn't grasp anything other than his thoughts about being in Slytherin. Whoops. But something else happened between his fearful admission to his father on the platform and his arrival at school.
