This is the game Harry Potter fans always Dreamed of. Thanks Avalanche.🥰

[@deffyme7357]

LITERALLY. I was always saying: Man I wish there was a very detailed open world hogwarts game....... I can't wait!!!

[@devonrussell1049]

@Selo nevermind you are correct I just double checked.

[@PinkkElephantt]

I've been disappointed with games before, particularly AAA games, but it's never really mattered all that much, because they weren't literally toying with mine, and many other people's childhood. This looks absolutely phenomenal. Dear lord I hope they don't disappoint. It must be incredible to work on this project, but I think there's a lot of responsibility, too.

[@DittaDemon]

It will disapoint, no need to get hyped

[@PinkkElephantt]

@@DittaDemon I mean. Probably the attitude, right? No disappointment that way, no matter the quality of the game. But it's too late -- uber hyped.

Just walking around such a big hogwarts is enough for me 😅

[@pedrodelimamiranda]

there were HP games in the past and they weren't bad! They kinda have their own category, let's see what happens!

[@-TheFacelessGamer-]

You can tell the devs are passionate about this game. They didn't just get ahold of a huge IP to just put together a mess and profit off of. They are reading the books over and over, watching the movies, making sure everything is connected, even rooms that were never shown but just vaguely mentioned. Every HP fan probably wanted to explore the whole Hogwarts castle or explore beyond certain locations. I am hyped for this game and hope it's not a disappointment or delayed. Not saying delaying is bad but it doesn't look good to announce when it might release and fail to deliver.

[@_Wakaz_]

This is EXACTLY how I feel. Thank you so much for making this comment - effectively for me - and taking the words right out of my mouth, my friend :) God bless these creators for being so passionate. This makes me so happy, so very happy.

[@popsiclepop3815]

@@_Wakaz_ I think it really helps when the devs are fans themselfs so its not just a money grab, they put real passion into it

[@iidz8142]

Yeah, but the thing about this game is that it wasn't supposed to be announced when it was announced. It was leaked, which put a lot of pressure on the team as fans will want it now that they know it is in development. It feels like this game has been in development for ages, but that is just because they didn't really want to announce it when they did. The game wasn't nearly ready enough to be revealed, but some duche just decided to leak it.

[@-TheFacelessGamer-]

@@iidz8142 Oh. I didn't know it was leaked. That's annoying. It's one thing when a company announces a game to early, it's another thing when someone leaks it to early and puts pressure on debs to get it out asap.

[@lisajay6692]

Amen🙏🏽

[@LuriTV]

That's pretty much exactly what I ever wanted from a Wizarding World game. Can't wait to show off my blue and bronze eagle crest.

[@acidxrubi]

Ravenclaw here, yes I’m freaking out, yes I’m ready to rock the blue even outside of Hogwarts.

[@lobbyskids2]

I think the thing that really just nailed it for me was when I was walking up the astronomy tower and found the tapestry of the ballet dancing trolls and a passage of the book came back to me where Harry was describing where the room of requirement was. The people who made this game religiously followed the source material.

[@abhilashkp6864]

I'm quite relieved that they went for a new story with different characters. It opens up new ways for fans to immerse while not messing with their pre-conceived ideas about any characters that fans are already familiar with almost intimately (in a parasocial sense of course). A new story also prevents to a certain extent contradictions with the canon (like how in pokemon a pokedex entry has something about them jetting around at the speed of sound, but they are stat-vise slower than a fat cat)

[@Nocc2991]

[@pppatra]

I love the fact that they show the kitchen! It looks like there's a puzzle to enter it which involves tickling a pear. That's such an obscure detail and the fact they put it in the game is incredible.

[@profmerlinpants]

I am pretty sure from looking at the final trailer that this Hogwarts Legacy team have put max effort to this game as Wizarding Worldly as possible. Genuinely Appreciate the effort.

[@pathos7527]

Thanks for showing the House of each team member by their name in the video, simple detail but a fun one that I loved to see 🥰

[@justinechaine5679]

Yeah, I think that is so fun and it shows the people working on this are fans just like everyone else is. That's promise they know what to do for everyone

[@jimbeaux89]

The fact that the entire studio read the books says all you need to know. You can easily tell that they put their hearts into this game.

[@gh0st_proxy]

This looks amazing! Hoping this becomes a trilogy with our characters coming back for years 6 and 7 if it does well.

[@Nargon46]

Yes! Agreed! I loved getting to know the other characters. It would be exceptional if they did the Mass Effect thing where you can port you save from the first game over, so that your choices and character design from the first game carry over

[@kaspergamer460]

I can't wait to explore the castle! It's been my dream to roam a fully realized Hogwarts, with secrets and surprises, and of course all the iconic locations.

[@MrCurbinator]

Closest you’ll come to that is “the great hall” at Oxford

[@_Wakaz_]

I LOVE it how they are just suddenly uploading loads of footage of this game. These guys seem so passionate about this game - and thus, I couldn't be happier. Thank you for this video, WB. It has given me faith.

[@_Wakaz_]

The only thing I can ask for now is that music from the films is present in the game. I'd love to be exploring Hogsmede as 'Dumbledore's Army' is playing in the background! That would be an absolutely emotional gutpunch - I think I'd cry with nostalgia. Thank you so much for being so passionate about the books and films, and the general Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Avalanche; I couldn't be more grateful - this seems like the game of a generation.

Amazing game, even on my older Xbox One console! Very smooth and quite playable both inside Hogwart's Castle to wandering around outside. I have to admit, I haven't been this enthralled with an open-world game since Skyrim was released. These are the games that I really enjoy, love getting lost in, and spending countless hours exploring every nook and cranny then remembering I was actually on a side quest. Many hours so far has disappeared and I've just barely scratched the surface. Thank you, Avalanche. Very much appreciated your efforts and care taken to make this come true for us fans.

[@manuelerdoes]

I‘m so hyped!! but pleeeaase let the game have the britishness of the books (the humour and the accents particularly). this is a major part of this wizarding world too.

[@trevor3013]

Looking back at this. Why would they not use English accents? The game takes places in England.. in Hogwarts. Though fun fact, Warner Bros(American company) originally wanted the movie to take place in the US. Luckily JK Rowling gave a hard no cause that would not make any sense.
