Everything you need to know about your magical adventure
Welcome to Hogwarts Legacy– the game that lets you live out your dream of attending Hogwarts, long before Harry, Hermione, or even Dumbledore walked its enchanted halls!
Developed by Avalanche Software and published by Warner Bros. Games, this immersive RPG transports you to the 1800s, over a century before the events of the Harry Potter series.
You play as a brand-new Hogwarts student, but with a twist– you’re starting as a fifth-year (a little late to the party, but trust us, you’re special). You possess a rare ability to wield ancient magic, and the secrets you uncover may change the Wizarding World forever...
