Hogwarts Legacy (Harry Potter universe game)

Don't nab too much, else Dobby might get pissed.


I was on the fandom before 7 was realesed in german, but after the orignal english release and my exposure to "word of JRK" comments was limited. I'm genuinely curious; do you know what she said? She does not come across as someone who's fond of other's interpretations of her characters.

There's a reason why - even in my HP fandom prime - I only joined one small HP forum, and it was basically rping forum with only minor talk about events and characters from books, more focused on dissecting the world building (mostly for rp purposes)

The Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Magic came into effect in 1875, maybe the game is set right after it comes into effect and you are forced to go to school.

Well, I do certainly hope they'd go for a transfer school situation.

This is the type of HP game everybody has wanted since they were children, at least if it delivers on its promises. A bunch of years ago I remember trying to look into why there were no Harry Potter pen-and-paper games in the works, since the setting would lend itself pretty brilliantly to that, and coming to the conclusion that JK has just been really stingy with her IP and distrustful of the idea of 'non-canon' content. Which did sour me on her a little bit. The Hogwarts Mystery mobile game being what it was didn't help.

And sure. Based on the student names and descriptions you hear in the books, Hogwarts students can't even represent all the magical children born in Britain alone. There have to be several smaller and/or less impressive schools we never hear about in Ireland and Wales. And considering how archaic their society is, there's probably a strong master-apprentice tradition outside the 'public' school system, as well as home-schooling for those who can afford it.

Plenty of justification for a 16-17 year-old wizard who hasn't gone to Hogwarts before transferring in.

That said, it's just as plausible that magical education simply worked differently wherever they came from, such as not being neatly categorized into Charms and Transfiguration and whatnot, and that they really will have a bunch of catching up to do to adapt to Hogwarts' and the Ministry's standards. And that they might do that quickly, thanks to being older, stronger, more mature and more experienced than wizarding children working through the material as younger teens.

But yeah, hopefully no super-special mary sue parselmouth metamorphmagus animagus half-veela half-giant seer protagtonists. Just ordinary wizards who have to excel at and kick ass with spells, please and thank you.

Your sorting looks like a good spread. Hufflepuff rules, obviously. Hard work kicks bravery's and intelligence's asses nine times out of ten in ordinary life, especially when combined with a little bit of ambition. Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Slytherin and Ravenclaw in that order seems like a good recipe for health, happiness and success.

Which website is that?

Fuck. Slytherin.

I was trying for Hufflepuff.

Not trying to appear. Just wishing, I guess. 

Hmm. I suppose you could say ambition is important to me because I want to be in a good place to support my family and friends, and because I want my kids to see that it pays to work at getting somewhere with your life. And I certainly enjoy being better off than we were when I was a child.

Doesn't feel very Slytherin, but...

And yeah, sure, I can be a smug prick when the occasion calls for it. And I'll happily throw an objectively lesser species under the bus to save my own people. 

Maybe? If so, I'm really interested in The One Who Defies Dragons.

Clicked for the split second of potential HP, watched the whole damn thing because Chester Bennington. *sniff*
