Hogwarts legacy review12/6/2023 The game opens in London as you travel with your mentor, Professor Fig, to Hogwarts via flying coach. Your character will be voiced by Sebastian Croft or Amelia Gething and start their journey as a fifth-year Hogwarts student. Pick your name, gender, appearance, and even the house of Hogwarts. You play a student that you create at the beginning of the game with a robust amount of detail. “Hogwarts Legacy” unfolds a century before the action of the books and movies, so there won’t be any Hagrid or Hermione cameos, although fans will be able to pick out references to the history cited in the books and a familiar name or two (one of your professors is a Weasley, for example). This is an excellent piece that gets at all of the many issues surrounding Rowling and this game, both pro and con. But I want everyone considering a purchase of the game to be informed too about more than just the game itself. The franchise will continue, and it feels like putting your head in the critical sand to ignore it entirely. It has led some outlets to question if they should even review “Hogwarts Legacy.” After much consideration, I chose to move forward in the same way we would review a new “Harry Potter” movie. Rowling in that the former will go on long after the latter is gone, but the creator of the magical wizard has used her clout and prestige from it to do harm to the trans community. It raises a bigger question for the legacy of Harry Potter and J.K. It has produced some riveting conversations and brilliant essays, from people who haven’t even played a second of it. The game has become a talking point for trans rights, allyship, and separating art from a singular creator. It’s hard to believe there will be a more divisive game of 2023 than “Hogwarts Legacy,” and it’s got little to do with the game itself.
