Yet, the important thing is not to condemn the game or renounce your love of Harry Potter it's to wrestle with the complexity of it and decide for yourself. Many trans people themselves are planning to buy the game despite their justified anger towards Rowling. "You're not a bad person if you want to play Hogwarts Legacy. Here is a short excerpt from Jessie Earl's article. Rowling is not directly involved in the creation of the game, however, her extraordinary body of writing is the foundation of all projects in the Wizarding World." For the complete story read GameSpot's JK Rowling's Anti-Transgender Stance And Hogwarts Legacy. The developers took the unusual step of making it clear that Rowling had no direct involvement in Hogwarts Legacy.

Won't recommend but I don't regret playing it either.While not directly involved with Hogwarts Legacy, JK Rowling and her anti-transgender stance have plagued the game and everything related to Harry Potter. I spent more than a hundred hours in this game but some things I played through in irritation or boredom. The designers and artists must have taken years to implement all the details in the castle. Hogwarts Legacy gives lots of things to explore. Also, the missions with Poppy Sweeting have the most beautiful level design,majestic beasts included. And, if you're a Ravenclaw, you won't even get a chance to solve a riddle when you enter your house's common room.Īmong the good things, I personally loved flying on a broom and caring for the beasts. The world won't react to your actions even if you're walking through the castle killing everyone you meet. Noone really explains why you're so special and talented. You don't have a history before Hogwarts. This game is full of chests but their contents are mostly rubbish.Īll in all, the character you're playing as is an avatar. However, the plot, the overall scriptwriting, the dialogues, the characters, even voice acting are very mediocre and sometimes even bad. Most of the efforts went into the visual stuff and design of the world so it would look believable.

If you're a fan of Harry Potter world, it's worth looking into it, but if you're a gamer who loves a good story, well-written characters and interesting sidequests, brace yourself.
