Hogwarts Legacy for PC is a single-player action-adventure role-playing game set within the Harry Potter universe. Players assume the role of a new student at the iconic Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a beloved location for fans of the literary and cinematic series.
About the Game
The narrative unfolds in the late 1800s, ensuring no direct interaction with characters from the established book and film series. However, familiar ghosts may appear to assist or obstruct your journey, depending on your actions.
Central to the storyline are several non-playable characters (NPCs), including Victor Rookwood, a precursor to the Death Eaters and a leader of Dark Wizards; Professor Eleazar Fig, your mentor and ally; and the malevolent goblin leader, Ranrok, who harbors deep mistrust towards humans, particularly wizards.
As a student entering your fifth year, you transfer to Hogwarts following a mysterious incident. It gradually becomes apparent that you hold the key to an ancient secret capable of destabilizing the wizarding world.
Ranrok, who despises all wizards, has formed an alliance with Rookwood to seize an ancient magic that wizardkind has long sought to conceal. Unexpectedly, you are revealed to be the wizard destined to unlock this perilous magic.
Rookwood faces peril should Ranrok succeed, yet he poses a significant threat in his own right. As the student, you must collaborate with Fig to safeguard the secret of this magic and prevent a goblin uprising.
The Nitty Gritty
Throughout your adventure, you will attend classes in Charms, Herbology, Defence Against the Dark Arts, and Potions, all while striving to protect the wizarding world. Beyond the castle, you can explore various locations, including the Hidden Forest, Hogsmeade, and Gringotts Bank, all of which are fully accessible.
The open-world environment will evolve with the changing seasons, allowing you to select your house and customize your character.
