Potter fans will know that only people who have seen death can see Thestrals and so they become visible once events transpire en route to Hogwarts. I was also impressed with little details, like when you first get into a carriage pulled by Thestrals you can’t see them. As you walk through the cliffside backdrop the mise en scène is set up perfectly and is reminiscent of when Harry accompanies Dumbledore in search of a Horcrux. Running at water your character will dive in or dropping from a height she will instinctively cross her arms ready for the plunge. The high production value is immediately evident in how detailed the character models are and some of the awesome animation on show.

I was completely blown away by how much happens in this opening sequence, jumping to many different locations (some new, some familiar). Like most RPGs, the opening few hours are also designed to be a tutorial of sorts teaching basic spell casting, movement and combat. Once you have named your character it is time to jump in. You can also change the pitch of a preset voice but as of now, this seems broken.

I did find the voice actor for males to be very dull so I went for a Witch on this play though. In support of trans communities, there is no set sex and so you can mix things up as you see fit. The game opens with a decent enough character creator, allowing for choices on hairstyle, eye colour etc. Rowling had no creative input over the game itself. However, the word on the street is that J.K.

This decision gives the writers a good degree of creative freedom, although I’d be interested to know how much they had to pour over established lore and genealogy. This means that while many of the locations will instantly look familiar, the boy Wizard and his coterie have not even been born yet. So for those who have not been following the development, Hogwarts Legacy is set in the same world as Harry Potter but in a different time period: the 1890’s to be exact.
