I’ve loved reading the comments on this one and hearing so many of your own stories growing up with the series. It means a lot to see this video resonate with so many people. Bit of a different style from what we normally do here. This one was really just 6 minutes of me speaking from the heart and sharing my Harry Potter story with you all.
Heard a mistake in the vid, Dumbledore WAS at Hogwarts in Late 1890's where this game is set. He would be in 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th year, as a student, along with Aberforth, and Daedalus Diggle, as they all started in 1892
@FoolMeHardys We learned from the gameplay trailer that the game starts in 1890 so he won’t be there unless the game takes place over 3 school years. Our character starts as a 5th year so we’d only see Dumbledore if we go to year 7 in this game.
@@RetroRaconteur Which would be possible, depending on how they partition the game. Plus, with Portkey Games being the producers, they are known for their small nods to the series. Its not farfetched to say Dumbledore, or the Dumbledore family, will be in the game somewhere
This game is like everyone’s childhood dream. Every time I think about it I just can’t not get excited and sad that it’s not yet released. I hope it will be an amazing experience ❤️😭
@@ElliottPiano That has drawbacks too. People without gaming friends might miss out and online multiplayer could spawn toxicity.. This way is safest, and with this already being a huge undertaking, I don't mind them not going too overboard on stuff like multiplayer and instead keeping the focus on world design and stuff.
The developers don't just love the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, but the clearly also love magic. The depth of symbolism, and folklore elements is outstanding! They also love art, history, and the culture.
This will be the 2nd time I order a games collector edition. I just recently got into Harry Potter, seen the movies and working on reading the books. The world is so interesting.
Wait until you find the rabbithole that is Harry Porrer-Fanfiction... Hundreds of thousands of fan written stories all themed around the wizarding world.
I've been a gamer since I was three, and I was about 12/13 when I first read the books(just after the Chamber of Secrets had been released), my mother picked up The Philosopher's Stone for me on an off chance based on a review she'd read because I was a very fussy reader. I was also a very lonely and depressed youngster with no friends. I devoured over half the first book by the following morning and begged my mother to drive me to the book store to get the second. The books taught me to enjoy reading and gave my lonely young self so much joy, hope and escape from the bad in my life helping to re-enforce such positive messages that I struggled to believe otherwise. I, like you, have been waiting since then for a proper Hogwarts RPG like this with my and I am praying for this game to live up to it's potential. Can't wait to walk those magical halls! :D
I'm not even the biggest Harry Potter Fan despite reading all 7 books and have Harry Potters Wand. Playing a Harry Potter game set in Hogwarts is awesome! We can finally go to Hogwarts ourselves now. Fall is gonna rule this year also Hufflepuff House is best house.
Just the thought of having the physical copy in my hands made me tear up...ive been waiting for this for 20 years... When the day comes i think the first thing im going to do is stare at it and cry like a dumbass 😂😅
@@hollowknight6438 literally my eyes started stinging at that moment too. my whole life ive wanted a game exactly like this and its finally here, i cant wait
Bro, this nearly made me cry, my heart fills with such unbridled joy at the mere thought of this game, and we are so close! Less than 5 months away! This is undisputably a dream come true for millions, and the worries that this is Avalanche's first attempt at an Open-World Action RPG, for me personally if they just give us what they've already shown us, I'll be so happy, I honestly no longer care about rendering bugs and lighting glitches, as long as the game is fully playable I'll be satisfied beyond measure.
Most of my generation wanted things from popular books to happen to them, at the time fantasy was very popular in the early 2000s. Books like Harry Potter, LOTR, and Eragon were owned by most of my friends. I think this game is going to be popular cause it will attract fans that wanted to be a part of the hogwarts universe
Even before I knew the terms “open-world” and “RPG”, this is exactly the game I described as a child. I remember being 10 years old saying they should make a Harry Potter game where you create your own student and have your own adventure. It’s finally almost here and I’m tearing up just thinking about it. Can’t wait for my first quidditch match! Charms lesson! DADA! This game will truly be something special!
I remember there was a Facebook page back in the day called something like, “I died a little inside when my Hogwarts letter never came.” I think for all us Muggles this game will be the closest we can get to reliving that childhood dream that was dashed when we turned 11 and we didn’t get a Hogwarts letter.
When I watched the announcement trailer I was with my childhood friend who I had not seen for some time and man we almost shed tears watching that shit. I cannot believe this haven't been done before now and I sincerely hope they'll see so much success that we get a whole new chapter for videogames like this for the wizarding world. I've lately tried loosing myself in the audio books to cope with the empty space I have reserved for HL. Man, words literally cannot describe the amount of hype and love I hold for this project and I'll most likely get teary eyed when i first boost this up with whatever emotional filled intro they have lined up for the game
This video made me thrilled, we waited literally 20 years for it, I remember playing all the games on all platforms when I was a child and I always, ALWAYS, imagined a game like Hogwarts Legacy, I'm very hyped
Even though I was born when the 6th movie came out, I will never forget when I first watched and read Harry Potter, it was an amazing experience and I have waited for a game like this, I grew up with it and I am just so excited to get to walk through Hogwarts on my own
A few months ago, I figured it was time for me to finally get into Harry Potter. I watched all the movies first, didn’t understand who was who, what was what, but I enjoyed it. I then read all the books, even better. The sensation of reading the books, and wishing that you could really go there…Sadness. I definitely felt something, something I haven’t felt since… A whole world of Magic and Muggles and Wizards and Witches, Sorcery and Fantastic Beasts. Oh, and don’t forget the feasts, ah how I wish I was there, to eat just one pear. A world of Magic, but alas, all too tragic. Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Gryffindore, and all their lore. Everything was just so interesting. Hogwarts was the dream. Just being and learning in Hogwarts would be absolutely beautiful, to look up and see the floating candles. To experience what you read and watched, would be amazing. I haven’t been this excited for a game for, probably never, until now. All the amazing games I’ve played, I never really knew existed. But for basically one of the first times ever, I know this game will come, hopefully sooner than later.
Interesting, i read the books first (I all loved), then watched the movies who got me mad as hell to be honest. I liked 1-3 but 4-8 pissed me off to no end lol.
1:46 exactly. We've been dreaming of this game for YEARS. Since this game was announced I've re-read all the books, some of them twice. It sparked up something inside me that has me thinking of it every damn day. December can't come soon enough. edit: 4:56 it better be! Or you're all f****d xD
I remember the first time this franchise got advertised it was in a VHS case those leaflets you use to get and I remember it said "something magical is coming to theatres" had the mysterious blue sky with clouds and its own font. I didn't really have much of an attention span for the books back then 😅 mostly the movies and games for me, it wasn't untill much later on where I started reading and even then I red the in a weird order I red the first two then order of the phonenix and so on. One of the aspects that make this game so appealing to us potter fans and rpg folks, its literally going to be us in the game we can make our character exactly like us down to a T (if that's that's the saying) We can define what our wizard or witch will be,what they will what spells they learn and who they make freinds with etc I didn't know Divination was going to be a class also would like transfiguration to be a doable class to. I'm personally going to learn all I can I want to be a magical Juggernaut but I don't want to explore out.with hogwarts so soon unless I'm prepared and can deal with the threats. I want to do everything that was never explored in the books and movies. Thanks for the video Retro and have a nice day 🙂
Harry Potter Universe, is my hole childhood. It helped me in the darkest times. I remember I was crying when I was 11 because I didn’t get my letter to hogwarts. I am so exited even for all of us. I’m watching all the reactions and my heart warms up and tears starts to run when I see that all of us wait for this our hole life!
I really hope this game has small characteristics with your character. Example being; How your character swing his/her arm when casting a spell (Griffindor swings like game trailer, Hufflepuff swings in a weird way, Slytherin swings very rough and you can feel the hatred behind the swing, and Ravenclaw all calm, basically just the "flick of the wrist" under their robes, mostly when Accio items, obviously not during battle).
Because there hasn’t been a game like this to ever come out like this with this genre. It’s like Tombraider but with magic and with a beloved universe!!!
The background music you put is super nostalgic! Been waiting forever for this game the dream 🪄🪄 Grown up with harry potter since I was 7 when the first movie came out, played all the games read all the books and seen the movies 100s of times!
After watching the video and reading the comments i feel like there is nothing more to add about the feeling of finally being able to attend the school of witchcraft and wizardry. It's just a magical feeling(no pun intended) and a fantastic video!
This game basically reignited me as a HP fan. After the gameplay trailer released I marathoned all the movies, started playing Hogwarts Mysteries, and am planning to check out the books. This game has me super excited, and I feel that after seeing what overhype can do to a company these pasts years, with them still feeling confident enough to say it's gonna be the game of our dreams I really have a good feeling about it. Hopefully it has a great release and plans to extend the life with DLC, quidditch maybe if it's not in base game.
I purposed to my SO on Christmas a couple years ago. In the morning he opened custom red leather bound/ gold leafed 1st edition collection of the books. That evening I purpose at the castle during the firework show at Universal’s wizarding world. I even made a golden snitch ring box. I can’t tell you how high our hopes are for this game.
Absolutely a childhood dream of mine. I haven't been so hyped for a game since The Witcher 3 or even Skyrim. Fingers crossed for a magical experience! 😉
I wish someone would actually build hogwarts to scale, I think in 2018 someone calculated the cost of construction alone would be £200 million, but only the construction if everything went exactly to plan. It didn’t include moving staircases (which could be done electronically) the quidditch pitch and Hagrids hut
I'm shocked that people think Harry Potter will just go away and be forgotten. It has left such a crater size impact on the world. So many things are inspired by it. This game will reinvigorate everyone
My girlfriend who has never shown an interest in video games was entranced by the trailer for this game and shot a look at me halfway thru and said "You ARE going to get this" she is hooked.
I can not say how excited I am! I even got a Robe and the rest of the school uniform. I just want the whole experience! And to feel connected to all of you, to all of the people that are as excited as I am is just...Magic. Lumos ✨
Dude! I got goosebumps after watching your video! What a great job! My story is a little weird, I’ve watched the first Harry Potter movie when the seventh part was released, after that I kept rewatching it each year. The first book of that series I’ve read a couple years ago, and it got me sooooooooo hard, I’ve got those little details from the books which movies hasn’t got. Now I reading it in English ( English not my mother language) Sooo I can’t wait to put my hands on the game. We are all gonna be there guys, feeing that magic vibe again! 🧙🏻🧙♂️
This is the most excited I've been for a video game in YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 20 years of waiting to be able to explore Hogwarts, let alone the surrounding areas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
all the lore from the books has set a great foundation for this game, to what seem like developers who care about the wizarding world. It’s got potential to be a legendary game
The Harry Potter games is what me fall in love with the franchise. Then I started the watching the movies on the side and got more invested. I read the books later and began collecting all things Harry Potter so Hogwarts Legacy means everything to me and the Wizarding World
I am really looking forward to this game and hope it is fantastic. Though I am slightly worries that we are are over hyping to so much that it might have trouble living up the the standard that everyone has envisioned in there head just because of how high we are putting it on a pedestal.
I am absolutely thrilled for this game, and I’m honestly a bit embarrassed that I only figured out about this game a week ago. I’m so ready to literally and figuratively get lost in this game and make that story. As you can use dark spells/unforgivable curses and if that allows you to change the story I will most definitely be doing multiple runs of the game limiting to good spells and then anything goes. You’ve definitely earned this sub. I searched for the trailer then saw one video of yours below it and haven’t stopped watching till I could find everything I needed.
I hope this game is good, for the Devs sake. I've seen too many games flop, and the mess afterwards is horrific. Just look at no mans sky launch, those devs got harrassed with hate mail, death threats, bomb threats etc. I don't want this to happen to the devs of HL
Game starts at 5th year in 1890, Dumbledore started school at Hogwarts in 1892. Which means we could, in theory, mentor a young Dumbledore while in our 7th year. Fingers crossed.
Got also a gaming PC with a RTX 3080 and an Ryzen 9 5900X for games like Hogwarts Legacy, The Last of Us Part 1 and Spiderman! Will go max. Settings and if possible Raytracing 🤩
Do we know if there are restrictions of using spells? For example : Video games like JRPGs have enemy encounters for actions in combat. Will we be limited to use spells for puzzles and enemy encounters? After seeing the killing curse make it in the game along other dark spells. Makes me think we are able to really go all out or close to it.
I wonder if the main character is muggleborn, or if not if you can choose blood status since that discrimination was prevalent during the Harry Potter Era. I imagine 100+ years earlier would be less tolerant. I wonder if it is a choice and if so if you are treated differently between being muggle born or pure blood
so hoping this game will be everything, or close to evertying, we've all hoped for, my fingers must be crossed, cause it is a tall order, and i've been disappointed so many times in recent years, but yeah, i dare to dream it'll be great, thanks for always keeping us posted :)
Hopefully players can design their character and have the option to make their character look like Mr. Potter himself. Or even You Know Who. Or Grindlewald. Or Albus Dumbledore.
I grew up with Harry Potter. read a bit of the books, wathced all the movies. never been biggest fan of the movies, I mean I love the feeling of them and the music etc, but purely film-wise they arent the best films ever. But I have always LOVED the world of harry potter, the theme, the lore. same goes for star wars, I find most of the movies terrible (none of the HP movies are terrible, most are pretty good), but I have always liked the lore and the universe. im super hyped for this game, finally a really game set in this world, instead of cheap ass movie adaptations.
Why its soooo hyped is because we all have fantasized since we were kids about being a wizard or witch and what life would be like in that world thats why this game is as hyped as it is
full disclosure i am not a harry potter or hogworts fan but from a games perspective it looks like a fun but well thought out game done with a passion and i am all for that. December 22nd is a long time to wait but hopefully it will be worth it.
Without replayable quititch, it falls slightly short of my ultimate Hogwarts fantasy game. I feel so strongly about this cause replayable quidditch was among my most wanted features. Arguably my most wanted feature. Yes it will still be in the game im sure. But wont be any different from the previous games in the mainline series where quidditch boils down to yet another linear one time event for narrative reasons. 🙄 Im sure the game will meet most of my expectations and be great. But something will always be missing..
September would've been a great month for release, two months before GOW Ragnarok, that would've given us two months between in game opposed to releasing it in December with only a month between the two releases, either way I'm getting both
Great video, two things, first, the cool thing(for me) about this game is that since i never read the books, and dont like movies, gaming is my only way to consume media, so i am SO looking forword to experiencing this uniiverse im so intrested in! and number 2; the studio is Avalanche Software since he didnt specify.. al tho.. imagen Avalanche Studios being in charce of a wizerding world game...
If this thing explodes the way I expect it to, I will all but insist on a revamp/reboot of Quidditch World Cup. With all the new technology, the thing could take the e-sports circuit by storm!
My history with the wizarding world started with the movies. It wasn't until I was older did I write the books. And I can't wait to play this game and hopefully get a release date at gamescom.
Screw the Lego games just made a proper series's from hogwarts legacy since it puts the story in the start of the ongoing war between wizards and Goblins
alright not that i want to be the devil's advocate, but here i am. Guys, don't hype the game up too much and keep your expectations realistic. This is the studio's first attempt at action rpg. Do NOT pre-order. Only buy it a day or two after release since there's gonna be a lot of "real" reviews. You can ofc be excited, but dont expect too much. This is coming from a guy who PO'd cyberpunk 2077 a month before release 🤦♂️ Ofc if you have spare money, you're welcome to PO, otherwise just wait for reviews.
It really sucks that I can't experience this game. I just can't support this knowing that transphobe JK Rowling will make a killing from this. I can't do that to my trans friends. And don't give me the separate art from the artist nonsense. If she hadn't been such a miserable shrew to the LGBT community, maybe I would have played this.
I have never watched any Harry Potter films when the first came out was off to uni and discoving partying 😄 That being said I am equally excited for this game, it looks absolutely phenomenal. 😊😊 Edit.. I think I need to watch the films asap
look....im excited too BUT.....CDProjectRed was passionate about Cyberpunk too...they love the world too..they have never done an FPS game before tho also: *philosopher's stone

The game isnt even out yet dude chill out

Also the fact it's open world, SINGLE PLAYER and oh the fact it's a RPG 🤷♂️

That this game doesn't end up like cyberpunk..
Cyberpunk in a way has turned into one of those cautionary tales but then for devs, i hope they learn from their mistakes for this game

Yep! So much nostalgia.

You just had to add that music at the start didn’t you 😭😭 this was a lovely video dude!
Absolutely a childhood dream of mine. I haven't been so hyped for a game since The Witcher 3 or even Skyrim. Fingers crossed for a magical experience! 😉
I wish someone would actually build hogwarts to scale, I think in 2018 someone calculated the cost of construction alone would be £200 million, but only the construction if everything went exactly to plan. It didn’t include moving staircases (which could be done electronically) the quidditch pitch and Hagrids hut
I remember my 6 year old self putting the philosophers stone into VHS into the tv. That was one of the last VHS tapes i would own before DVD came out.
I'm shocked that people think Harry Potter will just go away and be forgotten. It has left such a crater size impact on the world. So many things are inspired by it. This game will reinvigorate everyone
The music in the background nostalgia 😭🥹
Oh that music from the beginning you used, oh it brings me back when I played HP on PC. It was a really good game, i really enjoyed it.
All the nostalgia!
Jeremy Soule is a legend
My girlfriend who has never shown an interest in video games was entranced by the trailer for this game and shot a look at me halfway thru and said "You ARE going to get this" she is hooked.
I can not say how excited I am!
I even got a Robe and the rest of the school uniform. I just want the whole experience!
And to feel connected to all of you, to all of the people that are as excited as I am is just...Magic.
Lumos ✨
Yes!
All spells:
Flipendo
Alohomora
Wingardium Leviosa
Lumos
Incendio
We know 22 spells of the game
Dude! I got goosebumps after watching your video! What a great job!
My story is a little weird, I’ve watched the first Harry Potter movie when the seventh part was released, after that I kept rewatching it each year.
The first book of that series I’ve read a couple years ago, and it got me sooooooooo hard, I’ve got those little details from the books which movies hasn’t got.
Now I reading it in English ( English not my mother language)
Sooo I can’t wait to put my hands on the game. We are all gonna be there guys, feeing that magic vibe again! 🧙🏻🧙♂️
Thank you for the kind words, John! Glad you enjoyed the video.
This is the most excited I've been for a video game in YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 20 years of waiting to be able to explore Hogwarts, let alone the surrounding areas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean all it took is for our generation to grow up and make the game ourselves
all the lore from the books has set a great foundation for this game, to what seem like developers who care about the wizarding world. It’s got potential to be a legendary game
The Harry Potter games is what me fall in love with the franchise. Then I started the watching the movies on the side and got more invested. I read the books later and began collecting all things Harry Potter so Hogwarts Legacy means everything to me and the Wizarding World
I am really looking forward to this game and hope it is fantastic. Though I am slightly worries that we are are over hyping to so much that it might have trouble living up the the standard that everyone has envisioned in there head just because of how high we are putting it on a pedestal.
I am absolutely thrilled for this game, and I’m honestly a bit embarrassed that I only figured out about this game a week ago. I’m so ready to literally and figuratively get lost in this game and make that story. As you can use dark spells/unforgivable curses and if that allows you to change the story I will most definitely be doing multiple runs of the game limiting to good spells and then anything goes. You’ve definitely earned this sub. I searched for the trailer then saw one video of yours below it and haven’t stopped watching till I could find everything I needed.
Yeahh
It sounds like Elden Ring but Harry Potter lol
Thanks for your support, Rider! Glad you’ve enjoyed the videos.
@@Stefantius Harry Potter and the elden ring lol
I hope this game is good, for the Devs sake. I've seen too many games flop, and the mess afterwards is horrific. Just look at no mans sky launch, those devs got harrassed with hate mail, death threats, bomb threats etc. I don't want this to happen to the devs of HL
What a perfect video to send me down memory lane. As well as to give me hope for the future of Wizarding World video games. Thank you my friend!
Thank you, Hiran! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Game starts at 5th year in 1890, Dumbledore started school at Hogwarts in 1892. Which means we could, in theory, mentor a young Dumbledore while in our 7th year. Fingers crossed.
I recently built my first ever gaming PC just to be able to play this game whenever it releases. Can’t fucking wait!
Got also a gaming PC with a RTX 3080 and an Ryzen 9 5900X for games like Hogwarts Legacy, The Last of Us Part 1 and Spiderman! Will go max. Settings and if possible Raytracing 🤩
I like how at 4:57 he says 420 lol
4:51 man ate 5 dumbledore'
s to make the game.
Do we know if there are restrictions of using spells? For example : Video games like JRPGs have enemy encounters for actions in combat.
Will we be limited to use spells for puzzles and enemy encounters? After seeing the killing curse make it in the game along other dark spells. Makes me think we are able to really go all out or close to it.
I wonder if the main character is muggleborn, or if not if you can choose blood status since that discrimination was prevalent during the Harry Potter Era. I imagine 100+ years earlier would be less tolerant. I wonder if it is a choice and if so if you are treated differently between being muggle born or pure blood
I really hope that we can create our own army somehow, I just want to make history that will last thousands of years!
They made me read the first one as summer reading and I fell in love.
Gosh the pc and ps games bring back so many memories. Can't wait for all of us to go Hogwarts soon and experience our own unique stories :)
Been waiting forever so I’m happy to wait even another year.. I just REALLY want it to be good so far it’s looking amazing
so hoping this game will be everything, or close to evertying, we've all hoped for, my fingers must be crossed, cause it is a tall order, and i've been disappointed so many times in recent years, but yeah, i dare to dream it'll be great, thanks for always keeping us posted :)
Hopefully players can design their character and have the option to make their character look like Mr. Potter himself. Or even You Know Who. Or Grindlewald. Or Albus Dumbledore.
If they can give us an update in the future for a first person mode at the very least when you're outside of combat that would be crazy
Every time i go to pc i just think, man... its still not released... "turns off the pc"
I have this odd premonition that I may start crying the first time I start this game
I grew up with Harry Potter. read a bit of the books, wathced all the movies. never been biggest fan of the movies, I mean I love the feeling of them and the music etc, but purely film-wise they arent the best films ever. But I have always LOVED the world of harry potter, the theme, the lore. same goes for star wars, I find most of the movies terrible (none of the HP movies are terrible, most are pretty good), but I have always liked the lore and the universe. im super hyped for this game, finally a really game set in this world, instead of cheap ass movie adaptations.
As long as Hermione can get that phaaat futa kok mod
I hope it comes out before Christmas,it looks stunning
I think we all agree, that we need bald hagrid in this game
Why its soooo hyped is because we all have fantasized since we were kids about being a wizard or witch and what life would be like in that world thats why this game is as hyped as it is
I am so excited for this. The work and passion in the product is evident
full disclosure i am not a harry potter or hogworts fan but from a games perspective it looks like a fun but well thought out game done with a passion and i am all for that.
December 22nd is a long time to wait but hopefully it will be worth it.
Kinda breaks my heart into a dozen little fractured pieces
Without replayable quititch, it falls slightly short of my ultimate Hogwarts fantasy game. I feel so strongly about this cause replayable quidditch was among my most wanted features. Arguably my most wanted feature. Yes it will still be in the game im sure. But wont be any different from the previous games in the mainline series where quidditch boils down to yet another linear one time event for narrative reasons. 🙄
Im sure the game will meet most of my expectations and be great. But something will always be missing..
It’s never gonna be perfect for everyone. I personally am not fussed about quidditch. Maybe a future dlc though?
I have literally never been as excited to anything as to playing this game.
September would've been a great month for release, two months before GOW Ragnarok, that would've given us two months between in game opposed to releasing it in December with only a month between the two releases, either way I'm getting both
Great video, two things, first, the cool thing(for me) about this game is that since i never read the books, and dont like movies, gaming is my only way to consume media, so i am SO looking forword to experiencing this uniiverse im so intrested in! and number 2; the studio is Avalanche Software since he didnt specify.. al tho.. imagen Avalanche Studios being in charce of a wizerding world game...
So excited for this game. Only got into harry potter the last month or two but glad I have finally joined the club.
Aah familiar sound at 1:45 I cannot remember!!
If this thing explodes the way I expect it to, I will all but insist on a revamp/reboot of Quidditch World Cup. With all the new technology, the thing could take the e-sports circuit by storm!
I am not a harry potter fan but I do love fantasy and folklore which makes me excited for this game just from an exploration stand point
My history with the wizarding world started with the movies. It wasn't until I was older did I write the books. And I can't wait to play this game and hopefully get a release date at gamescom.
If they got made right i'd like to see a video game both regular & Lego of Fantastic Beasts that'd be pretty cool
Screw the Lego games just made a proper series's from hogwarts legacy since it puts the story in the start of the ongoing war between wizards and Goblins
The first time I read Harry Potter was back in 2005. I couldn’t read the big words so I’d mumble them🐍💚🐍😂
I thing it is the right devs working on this game. Just hope thay get all the time thay need to finish it.
The first Harry Potter game is one of my all time favs lol
I am huge Harry Potter fan I Whould have played this game but I don't have Console so I can't 😢
@The Tinderbox I have laptop but it's not gaming laptop the only big game I was able to play on it was Skyrim
@The Tinderbox if it can run rdr2 Then it will probably run Hogwarts lagcy just fine
Hogwarts legacy is the game I’ve always dreamed of !! I just can’t wait for the day this comes out! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Amazing diffenity a contender for a game of the year
alright not that i want to be the devil's advocate, but here i am.
Guys, don't hype the game up too much and keep your expectations realistic. This is the studio's first attempt at action rpg. Do NOT pre-order. Only buy it a day or two after release since there's gonna be a lot of "real" reviews. You can ofc be excited, but dont expect too much. This is coming from a guy who PO'd cyberpunk 2077 a month before release 🤦♂️ Ofc if you have spare money, you're welcome to PO, otherwise just wait for reviews.
It really sucks that I can't experience this game. I just can't support this knowing that transphobe JK Rowling will make a killing from this. I can't do that to my trans friends. And don't give me the separate art from the artist nonsense. If she hadn't been such a miserable shrew to the LGBT community, maybe I would have played this.
I have never watched any Harry Potter films when the first came out was off to uni and discoving partying 😄
That being said I am equally excited for this game, it looks absolutely phenomenal. 😊😊
Edit.. I think I need to watch the films asap
Just remember the game is set decades before Harry Potter
I hope that future wizarding world games will be created if this one becomes a success. I'd love to play a mmorpg in the Harry Potter universe!
I suppose they could make the Harry potter games like this aswel untill the Voldemort war happens and you are out into a linearly story of fighting it
look....im excited too BUT.....CDProjectRed was passionate about Cyberpunk too...they love the world too..they have never done an FPS game before tho
also: *philosopher's stone
Been following this when they announced it 🥰 I can’t wait to play it soon
Like I posted on the new trailer:
If there was ever a time to be isekai'd ..
I'm looking forward to this! But it's the same feeling when I was looking forward to Cyberpunk...fingers crossed for this!
