Romance in Hogwarts Legacy is a much-debated subject. Although players cannot canonically fall in love with companions like in other RPGs with romance options, players can form friendships and learn more about their backstories. For a brief moment, the player character even holds Natty's hand to comfort her during a hospital visit, as any friend might. However, many players feel there could have been other ways to bring age-appropriate platonic romance into the game, as seen in the Harry Potter movies and books via moments like the Yule Ball.
