@@NoNo-ce8xb that’s not how budgeting works for a huge development like this.

Simultaneously the VA department would also have its own decisions around budget and talent. The WB board would oversee the total budget and make sure things don’t go over but they don’t say “we need to spend 250k on Simon Pegg so take that from the gameplay guys, I’m sure they don’t need it”
@@NoNo-ce8xb epic take on this. You are right, instead of hiring amazing voice actors to make the world feel more real they should have just added some more dungeons to level up
Now we just need Simon to peform as an older Phineus Black in any possible future Wizarding World films whether it's Fantastic Beasts or other possible entries lol.
I’ve bought the game 2 days after the release date and been playing for 60 hours. I chuckled a lot especially during the Polyjuice potion mission, Pegg’s so funny 😂
You can still support the game and not pre order. Pre ordering is in the end just bad, no matter how good the game looks, or how communicative the devs are :P
The cast may have been elevated but the production value of the game went down drastically... How are you going to make a good video game with great assets when you're paying ridiculous amounts of money to Hollywood actors for voice acting???
The best part of this is that Pegg isn’t just an actor, he’s a good voice actor. It won’t just be Simon Pegg’s voice on a character model, it’ll be a performance
It will be interesting to see a headmaster who is notorious for the wrong reasons as a contrast to Dumbledore, who was notorious for the right reasons. We'll have to see which characters support this headmaster and those who oppose him.
There’s at least 3 Weasley's in Hogwarts legacy Matilda as deputy head mistress it's the young one that duel 🤺 against us in the 1st showcase or he was in the state of play I don't remember then the older one that's seen with orange hair in the potions 🧪class/ griffindor common room talking to our player
@@Dnite13 yeah I meant grind for a ps5 or series console. I wouldn’t play it on the series S but you can find one for 250$ almost half the price of the ps5 and series x.
Most of the men in the Black family passed down similar genetic traits in their appearances! So naturally they all looked somewhat alike! Or had tell-tell features that gave them away. Much like the Weasleys and the Malfoys.
I think that telling us these little "did you know" details shows that these developers really do love Wizarding World. Sure, many of us who read the books and saw the films several times already knew it but this shows us that they love HP as much as we do. Love to see that people who make this game actually give a damn about this awesome world...not like people who make Netflix Witcher series...
Too much hype is never good, but I just can't help, but be hyped about this. I don't care where it all came from, what I care is how the world itself made me feel as a kid and continues to do so now that I'm an adult and this is exactly what I'm looking for in this game. Stoked to see Simon Pegg in it, he too has been part of my childhood growing up with his films, especially Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead and he is a welcome sight in this.
At this point the graphics could be 2009 as just having Simon pegs voice would be icing on the cake for me this game has done way too much for the lore it's set in stone I just wanna play it can't go wrong with this game its just gonna be a maze of fun to get lost into the lore and aw of it now
There are exceptions. So many people don't know what red flags are for games and they pre-order it. This one's an exception and it's gonna be stellar. The huge green flag for me was the Twitter outrage. Pre-ordered it as soon as they wanted a boycott
@@yup9451 hahahahah i pre order in november but when i saw the twitter outrage i made 3 more pre orders one to my nephew, one to my brother and i buy a ps5 in walmart and pre order another copy to my wife is a huge fan of harry potter
First off, the voice of Phineas Black is awesome. Secondly, it interesting how he is described as a helpful hindrance. Seems like the type of guy that doesn't try to purposely make it difficult for you, he just does his own thing and doesn't care about anyone else. 👍
Phineas Nigellus Black was the least popular headmaster that Hogwarts ever had. He hated his students and the feeling was mutual. Phineas only cared about the prestige that came with the job.
Finding out that Phineas Black will appear in the game was a proper forehead-slap moment for me. Like, *of course* he’s the headmaster at this time, why didn’t I realise that earlier?
I see so much passion Avalanche has put into this game, even getting a perfect actor for a fantastic character that the movies cut, and all I can do is hope and repeat in my head “please be good, please don’t suck”
Love Simon Pegg, If I had not seen this video, I wouldnt have known it was him just by listening, he did a amazing job with this character, you can't even tell at all it's Simon
Fortunately, I was aware of Simon Pegg's involvement in this game before I started playing. As soon as I heard the headmaster's voice, I recognized that it was Simon Pegg. His voice acting was phenomenal, and he portrayed the character's indifferent persona so convincingly that it felt like he was truly the most unloved headmaster. I particularly enjoyed the mission where I had the opportunity to interact more with the headmaster's character (without spoiling anything). The quest had me laughing and giggling throughout, and it was a delightful experience. 🤣🤣🤣 As a fan of Simon Pegg's work, I appreciated his remarkable acting and his dedication to his role. It was clear that he put a lot of effort into portraying the character and bringing him to life in the game. His performance gave me another happy moment and made me appreciate his talents even more.
I really enjoy seeing voiceacting behind the scenes, so impressive - i would love to see more like that in the future pls ❤️ I almost can’t wait for the game to release!
Don't worry about those crybabies they need to learn to grow up. As for us gamers I can't wait for the game to come it's going to be absolutely amazing.
@@jonforde3651 I have less than a month to get a ps5, but money has been the biggest issue. If I dont get a ps5 I will buy myself a series S and get the game. Then later I can sell the series S and save more money for a ps5.

Oh my! It just keeps getting better and better. I'm full on buying a PS5 just so i can play this! And the game even comes out on my birthday, what a perfect present. Time to go to Hogwarts!!!!
What makes me super happy is that the developers are still being loyal to Rowling's material: by which the families established in the Harry Potter story have played an important role throughout the history of Hogwarts and the British Wizarding World at large. It only makes more sense - and makes me so very happy - that a Black family member was once a headmaster of Hogwarts; that's just perfect and amazingly fitting!
I already preordered this, but I just re-preordered it even harder after hearing this news. Much love to Simon from the US, where he has a huge following!
He's such a great voice actor! literally from hearing Phineas' voice without seeing this video I'd never of guessed it was Simon Pegg and and I love Simon Pegg! well done good sir! glad you're finally part of the universe!!
@@Phanthief95 I think it was a bit more complex than that. If we look at the last generation alone we have Sirius who was a “blood traitor”, Andromeda who married a muggleborn and Regulus actually defected before paying with his life. I mean, it looked like Bellatrix was the only one who was still on Voldy’s side. Though I acknowledge the fact that Narcissa changed sides at the last minute, I don’t think it was ever as simplistic as ‘Sirius vs the Black family’. Humans rarely are simple.
Ahhhhh. Im so glad we get to see Phineas Black as head Master in the game. Thinks just got a lot more fun. I wonder if he will treat the slytherin students a little differently from others. Since he is a proud slytherin (like myself). 😏😏😏😏
There is no way Simon Pegg is in this game 😲 Ok, NOW I'm hyped - my life is complete now this legend is in the Harry Potter universe and the Wizarding World!
With my age, I kind of just missed the Harry Potter train. Now my daughter is 7, and I think this will be the perfect entry point for her into this world, she was pretty enamored with the trailers I showed her so far
