Avalanche Studio's Hogwarts Legacy opened up the Wizarding World for eager players, allowing Harry Potter fans to see parts of Hogwarts never explored in the original seven book series. This led to an astonishing 22 million copies sold in 2023, beating out the sales of Game of the Year contenders like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The roaring success of the game might rest on the open world design, the engaging gameplay, and the ability for players to be their own wizards. Additionally, this unprecedented freedom contributed to a surprising number of players joining the most mysterious Hogwarts House: Slytherin.
