For the fans this could be a setback.

Harry Potter is a franchise that has accompanied many people during their childhood and adolescence. The most curious thing is the progression that this saga has followed, and that is that the books achieved unprecedented fame, but the movies were not far behind. These ended up getting an entire demographic (people who don’t usually read books) interested in the original work. This led to the fact that they also wanted to expand into other media, such as video games, but the reality is that they never managed to get it right in this regard. Until now, we had only received curious spin-offs (but not relevant) and video games based on the movies, which on the other hand didn’t have much quality.

Now, we have received Hogwarts Legacy, a video game that, as you can see in our analysis, has indeed achieved the goal of being the best game in this franchise. Still, there’s a piece of franchise lore that falters thanks to this game’s story, and then we are going to tell you what it is.

The Hogwarts Legacy lore could conflict with the already established one

During the video game our character, to whom we will give appearance and name, achieves incredible feats, even using a type of magic that was believed to be extinct. You will probably wonder why this would contradict the lore of the franchise, and it is that in no case, neither in books nor in movies does one arrive to mention a character of this type.

We have learned this thanks to a discussion on Reddit, in which a user expressed this in a funny way, so that later a debate was formed between the people who continued the joke, and those who decided to have a real debate. For example, some users have commented that It is likely that Hermione did know about the exploits of this characterbut never got to mention it.

Even so, it is most likely that the developers wanted to go so far back in history so as not to be tied to what is already known, but they forget that in the normal timeline of the franchise, those events have already happened, and taking into account their importance , should be known to a large part of the wizarding world.

We hope we have not ruined your experience when playing Hogwarts Legacy with this, so we leave you with your complete guide below, so that you can you can play in the most comfortable way possible.
