Harry Potter is a license that has amassed a huge following since the first book's release in North America in September 1998. Film adaptations, Broadway shows, and video games have followed after the success of the novels, but the latter generally hasn't seen results close to the quality of what's in the pages or on the silver screen. Hogwarts Legacy is looking to change that, with an open world and all-new story set in the late-1800s hoping to rekindle the magic of what came before. To do this, though, there are many Harry Potter staples it has to lean into.
