Crafting a narrative interesting enough to capture fan attention within the bounds of a video game adaptation of a movie franchise can be challenging for even the most talented developers. In light of these restrictions, Hogwarts Legacy did an admirable job, thrusting fans of the legendary Harry Potter franchise into a timeline separate from that of the main story with its late 1800s setting. Now, Hogwarts Legacy's staggering sales numbers made talks of a sequel a no-brainer. However, the first title existed almost exclusively in the magical world, and Avalanche has to pop the narrative bubble and let more of the outside world bleed into Hogwarts Legacy 2 for the sequel to make similar numbers.
