Hogwarts Legacy: All professors talk about their pasts

[@stephenking5852]

Professor Hecat is actually 44 years old. That’s what she meant when she said time itself wounded her when she was an Unspeakable.

[@dw9932]

I'm surprised that they showed the unspeakable who had the time accident

[@Jesus_616_Christ]

​@DW99 is she mentioned in the books or pottermore?

[@lucabestea6844]

She aged much quicker, because of the Department of Mysteries. That place is creepy, and we've already been there. Through Harry's eyes😏

[@Artaxerxes.]

All that bullshit about unspeakable when ancient magic is the biggest secret in history. The department of mysteries must be super weak compared to the protag

[@damired]

​@@Artaxerxes.Perhaps Unspeakables were actually the ones studying the Ancient Magic... we've never known what they're really up to, except for time machinations and time-turners, Vergil

For those who curios. The Seventh-Year student that took Prf.Garlick under her wings was Sirona Ryan, the owner of Three Broomsticks. Later you will get the side quest from Sirona about retrieves her old mails. And one of it is the letter she send to prof. Garlick.

[@serronserron1320]

Professor: I was an unspeakable at the ministry. Student: What's an unspeakable? Professor: Nothing, nothing at all. I'm glad to satisfy your curiosity.

Professor Sharp is much more polite than Snape and he may well be the man who taught Albus Dumbledore in potions since the game is set in 1890 and Albus began attending Hogwarts in 1892.

@@sitinabilahothman3522 Yes he was headmaster during Dumbledore's time as a student at Hogwarts, what does that have to do with Professor Sharp teaching him potions?

[@Tapman99]

You missed out Professor Binns. You can talk to him in the History of Magic Classroom outside of class, but he doesn’t talk about his past… in true form he just drones on about previous Goblin rebellions

@@williamg8269 meh sharp is cooler. Sharp is that cool ex-auror teacher with a limp from some awesome and dire mission he may have embarked on.

[@kiarabanetmi7660]

Some people complain about the forced diversity of Hogwarts Legacy, but I find it quite fascinating. Yes I realize it is heavy handed, but here’s the thing: we learn about different kinds of jobs, facts about different schools, different ways of thought, and all sorts of stuff! Even if it’s small things like about how to students at The Japanese Magic School (I can’t remember how to spell its name) trained for Quiddich to be some of the best in the world or just what Uwagadu (spelling?) looks and feels and teaches compared to Hogwarts. It fleshes out the entire wizarding world more to more than just Hogwarts and Europe.

[@colinpreston80]

While I roll my eyes at forced diversity, the game was written well enough that it wasn't an issue. At no point did I feel that I was being lectured and the characters were written well enough that I forgot about the forced diversity.

[@namethefifth7315]

Ya while i noticed the diversity most of it was non intrusive and was not too immersion braking other than the 3 broomsticks owner being trans in the 1800s and no one batting an eye. Dubley so because i don't even think being trans was even a thing back then. Especially in hogwarts were everyone was really raccost even into the 1900s durring hary potter. But i suspect they did this because of jk rawlings comments on them to try and combat incomming hate due to it being a harry potter game.

[@SusanaCanales1]

Honestly, I didn’t even notice anything that felt forced. I just thought the choices were cool. Reminded me a bit of Cyberpunk.

[@Whocares158]

People complain about that?! Did people complain about our characters being anyway we want to?! I'm just very happy 😊🩷🩵 I get to make my character Kyle as Tan as me! I don't care about "forced diversity" it really didn't bother me. I was happy to have professors of all cultures in Hogwarts.

@@theomellors688 True! Base on how it was discription in the 5th book. One of the Death Eater got trap in the "Time Sand" (Harry blasted the whole room of time turner) and his head keep changing between baby head and adult head constantly. One can guess prof.Hecat did suffer same thing.

[@ind0minusr3x51]

Forced diversity might be an isdue for some, but they execute it just right. Like Japanese Quiddich players play, the way African ppl casts magic, etc. And their designs are just perfect. Like, if I would imagine a botanist Prof. that likes it's job and it's profession, you can either imagine someone in a gardening overall and a straw hat. Or, full green clothing with a bit of stiches here and there. So ye, Prof. Garlick is just perfect

[@SusanaCanales1]

Wait, the mention African magic culture and Japanese quidditch is supposed to be forced diversity? Seriously? Would it be forced if they kept it within Europe? Or Russia? Or America? I don’t get it. It just felt like learning more about the wizarding world.

[@klevy3484]

Eh, I feel like people who say it’s “forced” either aren’t familiar with the HP universe or have an issue with the subject of diversity itself. It was done very tastefully and naturally in this game. It also makes sense that the wizarding world is canonically diverse because they had means of international travel far before muggles did (ex. Flying carriages)

[@ind0minusr3x51]

The "forced diversity" sh!t might be just another petty thing to throw some shades on the game. And given the time period of the game(by the looks, it was before gas powered engines were invented) it would make sence of the diversity, cause the classic "colonisation" era. But for real, it just felt natural to have such variety of professors. And the insight of their culture they are from.

[@FlaviusBelisarius-ck6uv]

Do none of you remember the British Empire? Just how many foreign students were educated at Oxford and Cambridge Hmm? MANY! Who’s to say Hogwarts, being THE wizarding school of the UK, didn’t do the same?
