If and when I decide to do a Dark Wizard playthrough I'm definitely doing it as a Hufflepuff. No one will expect the Hufflepuff Inquisition.

[@timothymarcoux6569]

No one will expect anyone other than a slytherin to become a dark wizard honestly 😂

[@arthurpendragon8192]

I expect it from slytherin and hufflepuff. It's easy to take advantage of a hufflepuff and slytherin are cunning and not held back by the same morals gryffindores tend to adopt. Hufflepuffs will go dark because of being abused by those around them.

[@nocturnalcove9736]

@@arthurpendragon8192 Really they all could be obviously evil. Slytherin, it's just expected at this time. More shocking when one is good. Gryfindor can turn evil due to the pressure of living up to expectations from the house. Ravenclaw through their thirst for knowledge. Hufflepuff, like you said, through abuse and maybe losing their way in wanting to be taken seriously.

1. You seemingly did not have magic and discovered it late. You’re too powerful not to train, so you are put in Hogwarts despite being too old for Year 1. 2. I imagine that the House sorting will be like Fallout 3 and NV’s tagged skills. Take a short quiz, the hat says what it would sort you, but then discreetly asks your opinion, allowing you to just pick the House if you don’t like the test results. 3. When the game was first leaked, they stated there was a morality system, so yes, you can go bad and be a dark wizard, there’s even a skill tree that looks like it’s for darker powers.

[@LuxLoser]

@@rolandas12able They might! Or something similar to it. I just expect the hat will basically "whisper" to you and ask if the house it thinks you belong in is the one you want. Basically then you'll get a menu to select the House you want if you didn't get it. Just like how Doc Mitchell asks you questions, then you look over the results and can change it if you aren't happy with them. And that will be the Sorting Hat taking your opinion into account.

[@Taikoubou07]

I wonder how they'll deal with class lessons. The only thing that makes sense to me is to use something like Persona games, because I want the full experience of going to a magic school and I don't the classes to be optional. The game looks absolutely amazing, but only if the developers doesn't shy away and have enough resources to dive into the slice of life aspect of the game.

[@MrMetagaming]

I've not played persona, but I think they could go down the Bully route where you can skip class but it will have a negative impact or if a teacher or prefect catches you out of class they take you there, etc.

[@AzureKyle]

They might make it like the older Harry Potter games, where you go for a lesson that takes you through a dungeon with puzzles, you get a spellbook to teach you the spell, and you have to use the spell to solve the puzzle and get back out.

[@MasonicMafia]

The classes shouldn’t be mandatory, but if you skip class there should be a penalty. or you don’t gain the experience that you would gain if you actually attended class

[@zellafae]

@@MrMetagaming that’s what i was thinking! That would be awesome! I love the game Bully!!!

[@DayvonR64]

Even if you don't really watch Harry Potter or know of it as much, this is a great game for people who love magic based rpgs. I feel like we don't really get any of the classic wizard-esque games these days as it always has to have some sort of twist. This game seems really expansive but I'm kinda worried about the Created Character. I really hope they don't go with the "Chosen One" trope or anything with this weird ancient magic angle. I find it interesting that you start as a 5th year, it would have been great to start as a 1st year but I understand why they did it. I just wonder if you can progress to the last few years or if it just ends at the end of the 5th year like a classic Harry Potter story. I do hope that after the story there is a fair bit of stuff you can do. Usually in rpgs once the story finishes the game tries to give you more replayability but it gets really boring. I'd literally have a blast if there was still a bunch of stuff to learn, explore, and do. Specially if they make it so seasons/weather can change afterwards. I'd legit just roleplay as a Hogwarts student and just enjoy the immersion.

[@iFranOne]

Yeah, agree. But the thing is - if its successful game, they can release the 2nd or even the 3rd game. With 6th and 7th years of Hogwarts. The base game is there. The only REAL problem to solve would be how to unlock new and unexplored locations WITHIN Hogwarts. But they can easily add new maps to it. Like London parts, or even same/similar locations used in HP books. Or even places like Romania or mountains where Giants live., etc. But yeah, the biggest question is re-playability and will it end after one year or not.

[@DayvonR64]

@@iFranOne I'd be down for a trilogy since it sets itself up for one. I just hope that the lore and characters keeps it interesting.

[@-Miasimon]

They could just do what the Order of the Phoenix did. A post game "epilogue" chapter that just plays out like an endless mode so you can 100% the game. I really hope they go this route, because this looks like it'll be a gargantuan game (the castle itself is more than big enough for a game world, and this takes you *outside* the castle grounds on top of that) and there is no way in hell that you could get everything in one school year, if you're going blind. Would definitely spend most of my time just walking through the corridors, maybe picking fights with as many people as possible in the courtyards (if the game lets us, like Order of the Phoenix did), and just soaking in the atmosphere. One thing I'd love is if there was an optional online dueling club, where you can just duel other players in a lobby.

[@sunsetvibe1063]

I’d say if they’re going to have it where the sorting hat asks you questions in order to know what house you belong in, they should at least colour code them, like the hat gives you a question and you are given four choices for an answer and each one is coloured in a different house colour, that way the player can decide on whether they want to be in a specific house or they can mix it up and leave it up the ai of the game to decide where the player goes.

[@pasaniusventris4113]

the devs said you get to choose your house, so my guess is you get a quiz or some such, and then a popup like "does this sound right?" so you can choose which one you'll be in.

[@kfactor20]

Eh I think I understand what you're saying but I also feel like color coding the answers would kinda defeat the whole purpose of the sorting hat bc if you knew which houses the answers would lead you to, you either would or wouldn't pick them, regardless if it's actually what you think. You'd basically be bullshitting the entire personality test...but that's just me. I like authenticity so yeah

[@sunsetvibe1063]

@@kfactor20 I get what you mean, but it’s just so that the player has a choice on what they want personally. You can take the personality test and care more about the answers then you do the what house you end up in, or you can just take the path that leads you into your favourite house, I get what you mean but that’s just how I’d like it to be if it is a personality test and not just a simple pick a house without any questions deal. Thanks for the feedback.

[@kfactor20]

@@sunsetvibe1063 then again...the sorting hat does take your preference into consideration...

[@sunsetvibe1063]

@@kfactor20 that’s why I see it as a choice. The player can either answer the questions based on what they think is right or wrong, like the misconception that the sorting hat sorts you in by himself. Or the player could pick a house that they just like the colour of. Like how in the films, the sorting hat recommended Harry into Slytherin, but Harry wanted to go into Gryffindor. You can either go into the house that the sorting hat recommends for you by choice, or you can choose the house yourself based on personal preference.

[@arctikstorm]

I don´t think they used Flippendo when throwing the barrel, but rather Oppugno, which would make more sense considering what it does in the video, and is also a nice nod to Hermione.

[@yotsuba6352]

Yeah I don’t think Flippendo would be in the game at all 😂 It’s not a real spell in the actual Wizarding World

[@arctikstorm]

@@yotsuba6352 I think the character actually says Flippendo in a clip a little after.

[@rn8306]

What I am really looking forward to is to experience a LOT of wizarding lore. As this is the 1800's a LOT of the old rules/laws, practice's and rituals would... or at least should still be in use. That means things like...muggle baiting, old rituals, old festivals like Samhain, Lord of the 'most ancient and noble' house, swearing fealty to and offering protection to another house, arranged marriages complete with dowry's and alliances...honour duels, some purebloods acting superior to muggleborns etc etc... These type of things. As this is before Voldy or Grindlewald, the inter-house relationships will probably not be as biased yet...but who knows. As the Statute of secrecy was passed into law in 1692, the wizarding world would already be hidden from the muggles. This should also be implemented into the game and influence our actions. As an underage witch or wizard this may cause problems for us when outside of Hogwarts.

3:51 wasn’t there a dungeon like that in the prisoner of Azkaban game where you had to use a spell to pull a bridge towards you?

[@dianechristensen1391]

You do the sorting quiz sorting quiz and then you then you get sorted into the house in the game. Somehow it goes when you finish the quiz sort you into that particular house and then it connects with this game and then you’re putting to the house

[@al_alemania]

This is a dream come true!!!

[@JesterfaceBassplayer]

Repairo just summons an elf from Disenchantment who's name is Repairo.

[@theaces3697]

ive been waiting for this for like 20 years, i lvoed the first 3 games back on PC

[@comicscookingmore8113]

It will be pretty cool to join slytherin and become a dark wizard

[@truthseeker6532]

Hogwarts Legacy for, GAME OF THE YEAR!!!!!

[@CJ77777]

Did these guys ever play this? Can't see a playthrough on KZbin.

[@GingerDwarf]

God I'm so excited for this game.

[@joabtaylor2899]

So happy you’ve done a reaction to this, going to be a moment when this game drops

[@juicewadaily2352]

after elden ring now this man im so glad im still alive and experiencing this new unique openworld games

[@AbsoluteS1th]

I was wondering if I should read the Harry Potter books? I’ve seen the movies but once but I would like to experience this world once again, but from the perspective of someone coming in fresh. Is it worth the read?

[@jamesmccarthy962]

Yes the books are very good and easy to get into. The world and characters are excellent and the story is pretty well told.

[@SeyaDiakite7]

I waited for this for months YAAAAASSSSSSSS

[@CrazyManhog]

14:07 No that's not Gringots That's a the Motion Simulator Ride In Universal Studios

[@RakotaGR]

The thing I wonder is when avada kedavra became an "unforgivable curse". Cause then it could be seen just as a deadly spell.

[@ObligedUniform]

Current canon says they were classified as such in 1717. Though I believe it is only when used on a fellow human being. So any wildlife/other sentient magical creature is (at least in a LAWFUL sense not a moral one) totally allowed.

[@GrimmBones]

I don't think he said Flipendo. I think he said Difindo, which is a cutting spell, if I recall correctly. :c

[@wadeparker1158]

They just announced it for the switch which makes me even more excited

[@csaadelbo]

I DID MY WAITING!! 15 YEARS OF IT!

[@muhammadhabibieamiro3639]

Another amazing video

[@TK_Tazzkooler]

bully 2 is looking great who is harry potters?

[@shocalremix]

my assumption for the "houses" Wizarding World House Quiz, then it'll give you your house, but then give you an option to pick whatever you want anyways.

[@We_never_die_we_just_respawn]

Even if year 6- 7 comes later in a sequel or DLC year 7 should end with you seeing a young first year Dumbledore.

[@Kschreck]

This looks insane on every level. I was already excited for it but after this trailer, damn I can't freakin wait!

[@323starlight]

I'm imagining a day by day system for a harry potter game. Like... what Persona does. Imagine if that's what they go for in the game.

[@timetravellerearthx8527]

Indoor graphics are OP....maps are like Valhalla Assassin's creed

[@angelvillalpando4700]

I can already see me spending at least 100 hours just exploring

[@ricardosoto5750]

Harry Potter is long overdue to have a game I’m glad we finally are able to have this to play in beyond excited I’m already impatient about waiting HP is one of my favorite series alongside LOTR and Star Wars.

[@Daytondaily]

That’s not flipendo haha they use only real potter spells in this game. It’s impugno, used in the 4th book when Hermione made the paper birds attack Ron by basically shooting them at him.

[@jayvanponce4139]

Are you the one to choose your house? Or the Sorting Hat, choose it for you? and How much is the base game be?
