Despite the highly damaging rhetoric the franchise's creator continues to spout, Hogwarts Legacy is one of the most anticipated games of the year, and for good reason. A fully-fledged open-world Harry Potter game has never really been attempted before, with only Chamber of Secrets on the PS2 coming close, so fans are naturally extremely excited to finally be able to fly their broom through Hogwarts' grounds, visit Hogsmeade, and battle a plethora of magical foes. While the big-picture stuff is what will get fans through the door, it's Hogwarts Legacy's intriguing cast of characters that will hopefully cement the experience as a memorable one, with Nigellus Black being a potential standout.
