Set in the 1800’s (much like author J.K. Rowling’s beliefs), Hogwarts Legacy is packed with little nods to the franchise that fans are bound to enjoy. Did you spot these eight aspects of the game featured in the latest trailer? 8 Returning characters As mentioned above, Hogwarts Legacy is set in the 1800s, which means Daniel Radcliffe probably won’t be showing up as Harry Potter. That doesn’t mean there won’t be any familiar characters though! In the new trailer, you can see Nearly Headless Nick, the mischievous Peeves (who didn’t appear in the movies). and good old Professor Binns!

So far, we’ve seen giant Trolls, Herbridean black dragon, which you right remember from Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, the adorable moon calves that only come out during the full moon, Graphorns, Hippogriffs, Centaurs, Noisy Mandrakes and the evil Inferi. Did you spot any others?ADVERT ADVERT Credit: Avalanche Software 6 New Locations From the first trailer back in 2020, fans were treated to a couple of iconic locations that you could explore. Of course, we have Hogwarts Castle where you’ll probably spend the majority of your time. However, there’s also Hogsmeade Village, filled with shops where you can buy outfits, potion ingredients and upgrades! There’s also Gringotts bank, Forbidden Forest, Prefect’s Bathroom and some areas which you may have never seen before like the Hogwarts’ Kitchen!

That’s an awful lot of places to check out, so how will we be travelling to these places? Of course, you can walk there, but, in true Wizard fashion, you can get a bit more magical. Yes, that means learning how to ride a broom at Hogwarts!

Follow the light, or take inspiration from the Dark Lord himself (no, I don’t mean J.K. Rowling) and build relationships with NPCs and your classmates. ADVERT ADVERT Credit: Avalanche Software 3 Info on the Classes you can take  When you enter Hogwarts, you’ll be starting from Year 5. This means you’ll have to catch up on a bunch of classes, including defence against the dark arts and spell-based combat. Alongside spells, there’s also some potion classes we noticed, where you can learn to brew life-saving and stat boosting potions. Credit: Avalanche Software 2 Spells curses From the trailer you can see different charms, spells and curses that were used. We spotted simple charms like Lumos and Accio, which look like they can be used in combat or solve puzzles. There were also some curses like the explosive confringo, petrificus totalus, and stupefy, which stuns the opponent. We also saw some info on specific jinxes that you can spot in the trailer. I saw what is likely to be oppugno, which enchants an object to attack an opponent. In terms of spells, there’s the famous expelliarmus, diffindo, incendio, reparo and descendo. ADVERT ADVERT The main defensive spell you can see looks to be protego, a shield used to deflect enemy spells. However, there are also spells and curses that you can learn from your talent tree that you can’t learn in class! What’s even more exciting (and likewise horrifying) is that you can also spot avada kedavra being cast by the main character. Once you’ve mastered the different skills and spells, you’ll be able to combo these spells in your duels and combats against the dark arts.

Live out your best cottagecore dreams in a house that senses what you need and gives it to you. Best part is, you can decorate it however you like to fit your personality!
