Apparently it's a Giant Squid instead of a Kraken... 🤷‍♂

Some other easter eggs worth mentioning: - Throughout the school you’ll encounter kids receiving Howlers from their parents. One gets one for hexing their teacher, another gets one for turning their family owl into a cup & losing it, another gets one for giving their house-elf clothes, & another gets one for not being a Chudley Cannons fan. - To enter the Kitchens you need to tickle the pear on the door like in the books. - Down the hall from the entrance to the Slytherin common room is a gate that once unlocked with Alohomora leads to the Headless Hunt ballroom which appears in the book of Chamber of Secrets. - On the first floor up from the Grand Staircase leading to the staircase of the Gryffindor common room is a statue of a One-Eyed Witch. This statue was first shown in Prisoner of Azkaban which contains a secret passageway to the cellar at Honeydukes. This passage is also unlocked in a side quest. - In the Trophy Room at the top of the Grand Staircase is the casket that contains the Goblet of Fire. - In the opening cutscene after seeing George eaten by a dragon, the player character starts to see Thestrals carrying the carriage, as they can only be seen by those who’ve seen death. - In Gringotts in the prologue on the way to Vault 12, the cart passes under a waterfall that washes away enchantments & you hear about the Thieves’ Downfall. The waterfall & the Thieves’ Downfall first appeared in Deathly Hallows during Harry, Ron, & Hermione’s break-in at Gringotts for Helga Hufflepuff’s cup. - There’s an entire side activity where you follow butterflies in order to get items for the Room of Requirement. This is a reference to a line Ron says in Chamber of Secrets where he says “Follow the spiders? Why can’t it be follow the butterflies?”

I read all of these and want to thank you so you know people appreciate your effort.

[@Kali_1666]

You. Are. Amazing🤩 Thank you sooo much for your the effort you’ve put into finding this out and sharing it with us❤

[@GemGames3]

There's also another Howler I've heard where a parent tells off their pure blood daughter for hanging out with a muggle born as a friend.

[@urban_monkey9593]

I heard a howler saying “never point your wand at your family EVER again”😂

[@Vittanni]

There's another howler telling someone off for being in the wrong house and that they need to ask Prof black for a resort

[@edxlee]

Just buying this game for lore and exploring hogwarts is well worth it imo for a fan growing up with the books then movies

[@Garthavan]

Whats great is that mostly all of it was made up by the development team since JK Rowlings didnt assist them with any of the lore or creation, but is still Canon since JK Rowlings did give them permission to use the wizarding world. Takes place 200 years befor the first book. The detail they have done is awesome.

[@BigLehbowski]

You got that right. The $80 alone was worth just the exploration in case it was buggy or broken. But the game is perfect. I am truly amazed.

[@funnyhappystudios]

There’s a secret room in the Gryffindor Common Room. If you go into the corner where Cressida Blume was practicing non-verbal spells, there’s a door camouflaged into a cabinet or grandfather clock

[@arcaderat1613]

Similar to the scene with the two kids at Zonkos, Gladrag's has one where a woman comes out with her son talking about his socks which are making him constantly dance.

[@lemnajcavite]

Imagine since Ominis is blind, and maybe in a DLC, he wouldn't have issues with the Basilisk and you get to assist him with getting into the Chamber and then you both can somewhat 'play' with the Basilisk but it's not yet as huge as it was by the time of HP ...

[@AlejandroRodriguez-sc3it]

This wouldn’t work because the basilisk is asleep and doesn’t age when it’s asleep and it only wakes up for the first time with Tom Riddle and then 50 years after with Chamber of Secrets so the age wouldn’t be much different

[@lemnajcavite]

@@AlejandroRodriguez-sc3it yeah. Nearly a hundred or so years probably wouldn't make a difference with its size even if Ominis were to say visit it daily for the last few years he had at school and from time to time if he ever wanted to come back and see it. It would still be placed in suspended animation/sleep after.

[@emyrthomas2473]

The amount of detail in this game is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before! You can tell that the game developers are huge Harry Potter fans 😅

[@seanhickling7340]

It's not a kraken! It's just a giant squid 🦑 😂

[@thekingsta2419]

Me and me friend were talking about missions today, I said it was cool to go to Azkaban, but he got mad cause I spoiled it, but then, he said the sir Nicolas mission was boring, and I got mad at him. It was then that we knew something was wrong, so we looked it up. I chose Hufflepuff and him Griffyndor, and we had seperate mission!

[@silverbane8065]

Good way to encourage multiple playthru's lol. To do *everything* you might have to do 4 or even 8 playthru's (one for each house, and maybe one for each house as a dark arts user, versus a non dark arts user?)

[@GemGames3]

@@luckyowl6432 you have to be hufflepuff to get the Azkaban mission.

[@KaiIzuki]

Man, knowing that the Chamber of Secrets is unopened. And the Basalisk is slumbering within. That it will one day wake up is sooo fucking creepy. I love that we got to a nod to it..

[@lexi4457]

The whole time I was playing the game I couldn't help but think of how packed the bottom of Hogwarts must be. There is so many tunnels and secrets under the castle. Hopefully no one in the future wants to add anything because there are a bunch of terrifying things to run into down there!

[@tommymorris7329]

Here's a couple that haven't been mentioned here yet. In the Grounds Keepers hut is a Field Guide page, in front of the work bench, that says something along the lines of 'you could make furniture as big as you want with these tools'. (Haggrid became the Grounds Keeper in the movies) Haggrids portrait is somewhere in the castle. (The actor past away awhile back) The traditional formal robe Ron wears to the dance (Goblet of Fire I think) is a reward for a quest/side mission.

[@joshcummings8567]

Dude make more Easter egg videos these are amazing I'm going around carefully exploring trying my best to see everything but there is just so much to see I don't want to miss anything so plz make more

[@tacoturtle6126]

He looks like Hunter, in his golden guard outfit

[@hxnrytaylor]

Spent the whole day exploring Hogwarts, fucking love it

[@jeisonpena7318]

I was doing the poly juice quest when the suit of armor just started getting beat, I had to talk to prof Wesley and all I can think about was if that were to happen in real like, I’ll be on the floor laughing

[@lexi4457]

I like how you can go up to the podium and command that your house flag be displayed in the great hall. I loved it!

[@JasterKagemand]

I'm already looking forward to the "Can X stop the train" Videos all over KZbin

[@silverbane8065]

Maybe the candy store and the joke shop will get additional stuff you can buy over time? Did they say there might be cosmetic paid dlc? If so, perhaps candy and jokes might be dropped in as cosmetic only items? (Meaning, tho you can use them, they don't have any impact on gameplay/quests ect)

[@veincalldomv1628]

A bought a ps5 just for this game, totally worth it.

[@slycooper1001]

If I could get a ps5 it would be this and the new ratchet and clank game mostly because I haven't played either.

[@simonorourke4465]

I did enjoy aptly thecsame thing lol, I had been wanting one for a while and was gonna wait for the ps4 version, when I heard it was delayed until April though I decided to take the plunge and pick up a ps5.

[@jormungaurd]

One of the things I thought was hilarious, that I first found when playing a Gryffindor Witch was the preferential treatment the girls get compared to the guys. What I mean is the guys dorm is pretty much what you've seen in the movies, aka room enough for the beds, trucks and a closet each but not much extra room besides that. The girls side is a lot different, the room itself is almost double the size with the same number of beds, there's a nice sitting area right outside the room and the balcony for the girls side is almost twice as large as the guys side. And the really funny detail the Wizards side of the dorm has no bathroom, while the Witches side has not only a bathroom, but a second bathroom with bathtubs.

[@EricLing64]

There are at least 3 pajama outfits besides being in your underwear. Light, Dreamer's, and Seafoam nightwear. Basically just recolors of each other, and npc's will comment on it, more than just those in Hogwarts, every npc besides hostiles will say something occasionally.

[@akaoz2617]

There is a hidden room in the hufflepuff common room that has a chest you can open if you have lockpith lvl2. There is probably one in each common room.

[@johnkisir1456]

The password is "go away" always makes me laugh when I walk past her.

[@WrangleMcDangle]

"this crazy amount of detail is just absolutely crazy" not one for words are you

[@SwanyPlaysGames]

lol that was actually an editing mistake. I actually recorded this twice. My first recording got half corrupted somehow, so I had to mix and match two audio files and that somehow got left in.

[@DrDANKize]

The game is so fun. Been playing it for like 4 days straight

[@kenshindalee4900]

The shop that doesn’t show on map was that the shop Fred an George own later

[@Semmel1710]

My thought as well. But on a second thought, wasn‘t their shop in Diagon Alley?

[@kenshindalee4900]

Maybe

[@hxnrytaylor]

@@Semmel1710 yeah

[@Phanthief95]

No, that’s Zonko’s. They don’t own Zonko’s but frequent it a lot on their trips to Hogsmeade. Their shop is Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes, & it’s located in Diagon Alley.

[@jannestagle]

lol what are you saying

[@daddyslow4750]

The fire place in the library has a room behind it with a chest you can see the room an chest but I spent an hour trying figure out how to get in the room

[@Eminem687]

Just use glacio on the fireplace to put the Flames out

[@daddyslow4750]

@Eminem687 wow I can't believe I didn't think of that lol thanks

[@adamcook2265]

Does the Hogwarts Express always show up in the quest where you meet and ride Highwing or did I happen to experience an extremely rare encounter and not realize it? Natty even says a line about the Express when she's on her Hippogriff

[@SwanyPlaysGames]

I think that is a staged event

[@AetherRunsYT]

That outfit looks sick! Is that available in game? I’m getting the game Thursday

[@zedyasuo7238]

This game has Many easter eggs as innocent witches

[@newax_productions2069]

I love this game but I do hate that there's no areas accessible in the game from the movies/books

[@joekerr9508]

Awesome video-its not a kraken though, its the giant squid. Sorry!

[@SwanyPlaysGames]

My bad...

[@maguslascivious4980]

I'm so SO glad the game didn't make me play quidditch. I can thik of another way I'd like to access professor Garlics room....

[@humourunifiex]

Hogwarts Laggggacy... Nvm game is great tho

[@Tronoxian]

first

[@Thekoolaidchamp]

The Chamber of Secrets wouldn't even be made yet so it makes sense that you cannot

[@livingdeadty]

Actually, the chamber is there all along. It was built when Salazar Slytherin was still at the school. The basilisk in the chamber is actually mentiined if you find his scriptirium and read the note he left behind on his desk.

[@Thekoolaidchamp]

@@livingdeadty Oh I seeee this is very interesting I hadn't known this

[@kingy7973]

Can we say the game is sexist aswell since the boys have limited access in dorm rooms.

[@georgejones5019]

The game doesn't have a gender selection, so I wouldn't even recognize you aside from dorm selection. That aside, I've went into the witches' dorms in slytherine where there was a locked chest.

[@ekkiliastikos8044]

It’s a detail from the books, where hermione was complaining about the “archaic system” of the rooms where guys couldn’t go to girls dorms but girls could go to guys dorms
