HUGE Potterhead Reacts to Hogwarts Legacy Gameplay Trailer!

Playstation Next State of Play has FINALLY revealed the official Hogwarts Legacy Gameplay trailer and an insight from the developers and saying I'm excited is an UNDERSTATEMENT. Here is my 'very concentrated' Hogwarts Legacy reaction to the trailer as it was my first time seeing it! Hope you guys liked it as much as I did!!!
#HogwartsLegacy

[@LyraLes]

I watched this live during the next state of play and didn't want to miss ANYTHING so sorry if I didn't talk that much 😅😂 wrap up thoughts: I LOVED IT. It looks amazing, everything from side stories, characters, spells and creatures. I am now more sure than ever that this game will be EPIC ❤ THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!!

[@LuxLoser]

I’m already planning playthroughs. A good Slytherin, and a dark Gryffindor, because both need more representation! One thing I love is it seems like there will be less “everyone in Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff is good” and “everyone in Slytherin is evil” (probably because the dev team is full of people who tested in various houses!) so I’m super excited!

[@LyraLes]

Hahah same same!! My first one will probably be a self insert cause I have to satisfy my 11 year old self's wish 😂 Yes definitely, I always disliked that way of thinking and I actually think if there's a choice for companion I might choose the Slytherin boy my first playthrough. I'm intrigued by the family curse mentioned! An evil Hufflepuff would also be interesting those must be rare haha because for Gryffindor there was Pettigrew actuallyy. I'm so excited too thanks for commenting!! ❤😍

[@rn8306]

I am already planning all of my future playthroughs: 1st playthrough: as a cute and shy muggleborn Hufflepuff fighting for the 'light'... and probably stumbling around worse than Tonks. 2nd playthrough: A devious, cunning and ambitious pureblood Slytherin, who ultimately becomes a dark lord. 3rd Playthrough: The genius second reincarnation of Merlin who makes everybody either run away in fear or stare in awe at my magnificence. And... once I have seen it all....a 4th Playthrough: as an all powerful godlike Q who just messes around with everybody. At least that's the plan.

[@LyraLes]

@@rn8306 Ooooo I love that all the characters in the playthroughs have such interesting backstory haha! This makes me feel like I need to start planning my playthroughs too 🤩

[@miguelamador4017]

What about a dark hafflepuf, no one of this house was a death eater

[@rn8306]

@@miguelamador4017 I guess I could try a shy but cunning Slytherin muggleborn, who is courageous enough to fight for the light...should indeed be possible seeing as Tom has not corrupted the house yet... The fact remains however that it's usually those with great ambition with a good mind for strategy and the cunning to support it, who become the dark lords. Not the hardworking and friendly puffs. That said, not to say a Hufflepuff couldn't become a dark lord, I guess they could manage it through hard work and loyalty, instead of fear and power....but it's far less likely to happen.

[@DeadlyBeast205]

As a Harry Potter fan, this is the game I’ve dreamed of playing every since I was a kid! It looks so awesome and fun!

[@Geordikev1]

Prisoner of askaban and order of the Phoenix on ps2 were the best games to explore the whole castle, looks like a polished better version of OOTP

[@DeadlyBeast205]

@@Geordikev1 yep

[@LyraLes]

Yes I played order of the phoenix on ps2 but I was so young I don't remember much of it 😂 I always wanted a game where I would feel a part of Hogwarts and this looks like it will be it 🥰 Can't promise not to cry when I first play through it ahaha

[@DeadlyBeast205]

[@highiqwarrior]

The lightning spell looks awesome, the combat seems based on timings. Witcher and elden ring prepares for that kind of gameplay.

[@LyraLes]

Haven't played elden ring yet but i do see some similarities with witcher like looting and levelling up certain skills! ☺️ Also i like that in combat it looks like it will rely on us using the correct spell like protego for example! Did you like the gameplay shown? 😄

[@highiqwarrior]

@@LyraLes yes it was pretty good with the combos, but the movement looks unpolished and stiff. They have time to adjust it I hope..

[@davidmendenhall4090]

Reminded me a lot of Ghost of Tsushima combat. From the way the enemies attacked to how the targeting seemed to be switching to the pacing of the combos being important. Which is good, I really enjoyed the katana combat in GoT. I wouldn't mind one on one duels like the duels in GoT, either.

[@LyraLes]

@@davidmendenhall4090 Oooo good point I didn't think of GoT! There's def some similarities 🤩Since Hogwarts Legacy will be wands and magic though I'm hoping it will be a unique style since it's way different than using swords 😯

[@isabella16939]

Apart from the amazing world building, I think a lot of people fall in love with this franchise because of the loveable characters. I'm glad the game is trying to nail down that aspect of Harry Potter as well.

[@LyraLes]

That's why I was so happy at the companions part! 🥰 A big part of harry potter is having your friends there with you to go on adventures and get through hardships together ♥️ which of the three options for friends are you choosing most do you think?

[@isabella16939]

@@LyraLes If I have to choose, probably the Hufflepuff kid. I've always been super fond of the magical creatures/beasts in the HP franchise, or even just animals in general. I think I'm also a Hufflepuff anyway, so that checks out 😊 How about you?

[@LyraLes]

Im between the Hufflepuff girl and the slytherin boy! Same reason, i LOVE animals and magical creatures in general! 🥰 The slytherin boy intrigued me because in the trailer it seems his family is suffering from some sort of curse which sounds interesting!

After two decades of waiting, I'm finally getting my Hogwarts letter!! 😎

It's been so long 😭😭😭 my inner 9 year old is crying right now!! But im sure it will be amazing 🥰♥️

[@RodrigoMAOEE]

I was fan screaming just like you when I saw the live presentation hahaha relatable to the core! Hogwarts looks sooo amazing and we got to explore even the nearby areas, flying and wandering around the castle? Seems like a dream. Hoping for an solid campaign, and looks like we gonna get one. I want maaaany minigames and classes too! So hyped Looking forward to your in depth video next. Just subscribed to your channel!!

[@LyraLes]

Hahah can't even explain what was going through my brain when you see me just staring at the screen like 😯😯 That's exactly what i was thinking! 🥰I thought it would either be focused on a fleshed out hogwarts with not much outside or basic castle with more focus on quests outside but the fact we get both??? AMAZING ♥️ That and classes was all i was hoping for 🤩 will start analysing everything soon! 🕵️🕵️

[@Botruc]

I love it that they seem to have taken everything created by JK Rowling and ran with it, took some inspiration from the movies as well and created something that looks unique! There is a real magical feel to it! I would have been disapointed if everything looked like what was presented in the movies. I always felt like Rowling's writing was always more rich and fun than what we saw. My only area of concern is that they seem to follow the Fantastic Beast look for wizards dress and that's a pity. I prefered the colorfull clothes that wizards and witches wore in the first Harry Potter movie. Now the characters just look like regular Victorian muggles.

[@LyraLes]

This is what excites me most about the game! It looks like the people who made it had creative liberty and were allowed to run wild with their imaginations and the end results looks very promising! 🥰 I did notice what you've mentioned about the clothes 🤔in the books, especially Dumbledore, is always described as wearing bright coloured robes and I always imagined him looking so unique 😂 oh well customisation looks detailed so I'm sure we'll find some clothes we likee ahha

[@Botruc]

@@LyraLes yes! I am looking forward to see what kind of customization there will be in the game! Hopefully something a bit more colorful.

[@LyraLes]

@@Botruc There is a scene in the trailer where you go to Hogsmeade and shop for clothes so hopefully there will be a lot of options! 🥰 are you planning on making your character look like you?

[@Botruc]

@@LyraLes I will have to see what options are available but probably not. Maybe I'll try to make a Ron Weasley look alike^^

[@LyraLes]

@@Botruc Hahaha that would be fun since it's confirmed in the blog post we'll be meeting 'a Weasley or two' so if you make a Ron Weasley look alike he'll be meeting his old ancestors 🤣😂

[@Wraith-lr6vt]

I think there will be more companions than the 3 mentioned at the very least I would guess Ravenclaw to have a companion for the MC. And also the possibility for companions for a dark playthrough. Your very own Crabb and Goyle or Bellatrix LeStrange

[@LyraLes]

The more companions we can choose the better in my opinion since I like our character bonding with different people and getting to know their backstories! 🥰 Yes I remember them mentioning something that we get the opportunity to go to other common rooms to visit our companions so it must be likely there's a Ravenclaw companion too. And since we might want to turn evil the companions they showed look too pure to get along with that 😂

[@fantasythinkerfan]

I Ioved your reaction! It was so pure. Can't wait to see your in-depth analysis

[@LyraLes]

Thank you so much 🥰 i was too invested at the time so i was worried i wasnt saying much at some parts 😂 im really happy you enjoyed it ♥️

[@AyBee9725]

Some of us have been waiting decades for this.... A friend of mine who was an absolute Potterhead told me 2 years ago that something like this would have been a miracle come true. Now that cancer took him away, I'm miffed he won't get to see his dream come to fruition. On a lighter note, my Uni has a library building with a wing we called the “Harry Potter Hall” because of its architecture and imposing stature. In fact, we hold monthly Harry Potter Trivia tournaments there :)

[@LyraLes]

I'm really sorry about your friend. This really breaks my heart . I hope you remember him fondly when playing the game and enjoy it for both of you ❤Cancer has taken so many of our loved ones away😞But I'm sure he would have liked you to play the game and enjoy it to the fullest! Also you should go to one of those Trivia tournaments if you haven't already and crush it! 🥰

[@Raven.Bloodrot]

What I think I love most about this game is how many people are going to be getting introduced to gaming through this game. I've been gaming about has long as I've been a Harry Potter fan, so about twenty years. The same length of time I've been dreaming about a game like this :). In that time I've seen games bring new people into gaming but nothing like this game, not even close. It's wonderful to see what one game can do to so many people.

[@LyraLes]

As someone who only got into gaming about two years ago (I mean I used to play playstation and wii when I was younger but wasn't as invested in games as I am now) this couldn't be more true! 😄The harry potter fandom is HUGE and most people got into it just because they read the books or read the movies so they're still not familiar with games! I do love when games bring more and more people in the gaming community. I saw a boom of that happening last summer when among us and fall guys which are pretty easy and fun games for non-gamers to get into got SUPER popular and some of my friends decided to try gaming 🥰😍

[@lilzombiegurl6431]

I love watching people's reactions to this and get as excited as I am! my boyfriend and best friend are sick of me talking about it already XD

[@LyraLes]

Hahaha my friends aren't really into gaming or harry potter either so I definitely feel you 😂 that's why I started this youtube channel so I can find people who share my interestss ❤

[@Mr.Yoda66]

Loved this reaction! I'm super excited too. This is truly a magical dream come true! Did you notice Peeves? He was with the Slytherin boy when he was caught sneaking around in the restricted section! I really liked him in the books and we never got to see him in the movies. Also did you see the article on the PlayStation blog? There was a bunch of information and I really enjoyed reading through that! Remember, You're a wizard Harry! 🪄 Ps. Liked and subscribed, can't wait to see your upcoming videos on this game! Get well soon! ❤️

[@LyraLes]

Thank you so much this makes me happy 😄❤ I noticed Peeves on my second watch, on my first there were so many emotions and I was talking I missed Peeves AND Professor Binns hahah HOW? I loved him so much too especially in the fifth book when the twins are about to leave and their quote to give Umbridge hell! Alsooo I did read the Playstation blog and there was so much new information! Apparently we are accepted at Hogwarts after we survive a... and they leave it at that hmmm

[@Mr.Yoda66]

@@LyraLes Yeah that moment was so good! It felt great to read about Umbridge getting it real tough herself instead of just making the life miserable for everybody else! I wonder what it could be that the MC survived... Hopefully it isn't the killing curse since that undermines a lot of the canon and the significance of Harry Potter & the prophecy. I understand that they might stray away from canon at some points to make it more exciting or realize their creative vision (like pulling people around with Accio). But in this case it would feel so much better if it was anything but the killing curse that the MC survived. What are your thoughts?

[@LyraLes]

@@Mr.Yoda66 I totally agree, I told myself I wouldn't be too nitpicky about details. Us diehard harry potter fans know so many tiny details and expect everyone to know them 😂 But for the killing curse I would be a little disappointed since it's a HUGE PLOTLINE of harry potter that he's the ONLY one who survived the killing curse. But from aaall we've seen until know it seems they've done a lot of homework. They might slip up now and then but I don't think they'll do such a big mistake. The goblin rebellions were mentioned in the books when Professor Binns was teaching History of Magic so including them as majoor rivals was a really nice touch for me ☺

[@ashleycox8480]

The goblins are masters of wand-less magic. They have always been able to perform magic without the need of wands like many other beings in the world like house elves etc

[@LyraLes]

Yeah I don't know what brainfart I had in that moment but I thought I saw a wand in the goblin's hand 😂 and was super confused because i remember wizards wouldn't let goblins use wands. I love the premise of a goblin war however, I thought that was pretty smart of them ☺

[@ashleycox8480]

@@LyraLes yeah all good just wanted to be sure haha. I'm excited to see a goblin rebellion we have heard little bits about different rebellions throughout history so it fits the lore and is its own story to be told so should be fun to explore. Safe to say words can't describe my excitement haha

[@LyraLes]

@@ashleycox8480 Hahah yes I remember Professor Binns teaching them about goblin rebellions in History of Magic so maybe that's what we'll be learning in that class! I checked the harry potter wiki and found this interesting: 'In his History of Magic Ordinary Wizarding Level in 1996, Harry Potter skipped question four, which asked whether wand legislation contributed to the goblin riots of the eighteenth century.' Also the trailer says they'll team up with dark wizards so definitely hyped! 🤩🤩

[@Nyrufa]

There's supposed to be an entire school that teaches students how to use wandless magic.

[@camilesouzaa]

[@justingary5322]

Awesome reaction to the Harry Potter video games gameplay mechanics I really enjoyed the lightning spells and goblin Masters

[@LyraLes]

Thank you so much 🥰 I definitely liked both of those! I think goblins will be interesting enemies to fight against I'm just scared they don't make too much of a good point for why they're creating a rebellion because I might agree with them 😂 But they say a good villain is one you can understand his motivations

[@Nyrufa]

I know it may be somewhat complicated to add in, but if they're letting us learn and use the unforgiveable curses, maybe they'll let us become an Animagus, too?

[@LyraLes]

It must be complicated to add in because they'll have to give different options for each one of us to choose what animal to turn into but definitely not impossible! I'm certain they haven't revealed everything yet, they've been quite secretive about Quidditch for example in the gameplay trailer so maybe they'll reveal more soon ☺😍

[@Rodrogro]

I'm not a huge fan of Harry Potter (watched the movies) but, for real, can't wait to play this game! It looks fantastic and magical!

Not that I’m against people who haven’t read the books, but you’re the first person I’ve watched react to this who actually read the books and recognized things from the books :) that happened in some of the old HP games too, they would incorporate storylines or stuff from The books that never appeared in the movies. Like in The Chamber of secrets game there was a missions where you went to Nick’s death day party which wasn’t in the movie.

I remember in an interview a developer had said that they were accommodating to everyone! That they wanted to have combat for the people who want it but also plenty of other options for people who ' don't want to be throwing angry spells all the time ' so I'm sure you will still enjoy the game! 😍

[@user-fb2tt3bg2y]

I was hugely disappointed with some of the worldbuilding aspects. Particularily the fashion. They kinda just look like regular old Victorian muggles. The Wizarding World had long been seperated from the Muggles by the time the game takes place, they would be wearing more colorful, less austere and strict clothing. Sure maybe not everyone would be like Dumbledore, but... Not to mention the uniforms... I understand most people know of the franchise through the movie but surely they would would referenced the book. Oh well.

[@LyraLes]

I used to love the outfits Dumbledore was described to dress in. It suited his whimsical nature🤩😂 Someone else did mention the fashion choices in the comments too, and that they look quite similar to the Fantastic Beasts fashion choices which I can see now but I must admit I hadn't noticed! I did like how the teachers were dressed but yes it seems other wizards have been dressed in a common muggle fashion in the 1800s. Hopefully the choices for our clothing will be different though and we can dress our character in some fun choices! 😆😉

[@rn8306]

The fact that we have seasons means that we will not be 5th years for the whole game. This makes me wonder whether we will sit our owls and newts, finish our education in Hogwarts during the game and actually become fully trained 'of-age' wizards and witches. Who knows...maybe even become aurors, curse breakers or maybe even...a Hogwarts professor or a dragon handler. Oh...and if that's the case then I hope there will be romance as well. The Elder scrolls allowed you to have children... so hopefully we could have the same here as well. Imagine visiting your own child at Hogwarts later on. I know this is probably just wishful thinking...but maybe something for a DLC?

[@LyraLes]

Our best hope is if the game does well they'll see how much potential it has and either make a new game filled with these options or add on later but it's definitely a possibility!

[@MasterZeus94]

I like that the game does a lot to detach itself from what we've read in the books and seen in the movies (and a certain somebody's toxicity). The castle looks gorgeous, the new teachers seem intriguing (actually, since it's the late 1800s, I feel like we might meet Dumbledore as a student), the visuals and activities are definitely unique. Unlike stuff like "Hogwarts Mystery", the main character doesn't seem to be The Most Unique Chosen One who has all the powers and titles; yes, there is something new about them, but that's pretty much every game protagonist ever. That being said, I am slightly concerned about the plot shown; we seemingly have a group of goblins who want to cause chaos and gain importance... putting that together with the fact what the goblins were representing in the books... I feel like we're stepping on thin ice here. I'll be content if it's a red herring but will look out for that.

[@LyraLes]

It seems a lot of people are worried about the goblins being antagonists including me! As a member of Hermione's SPEW club I understand why goblins would want a rebellion against wizards. It might be a red herring since in the new trailer we didn't even see the antagonist with the mask that was in the previous trailer! But I agree about everything you said about how the game looks, until now it looks amazing and very promising and hopefully we'll get what we always dreamed for a harry potter game! 🥰🥰

[@hallo0hoi]

@@LyraLes Ultimately I hope that you as a player can choose if you want to be supportive towards the goblins or if you want to brutally suppress them. They do hint at a morality system and the ability to be a dark wizard, and you see the player use the killing curse on what looks like a goblin in the trailer. That would put a lot of dept to the choices you make and how big of an impact you have on the world

[@LyraLes]

@@hallo0hoi Wow if that does become true I never expected the morality system to be so complicated as to bring up the discussions of how wizards enslaved creatures they found superior such as house elves and goblins. But I do think it gives more depth to the game rather than just being like oh be good and don't kill people or become evil and be able to kill, crucio and imperio anyone you want. I'd like it to be more morally grey than that 😄

[@hallo0hoi]

@@LyraLes ‘The Archon’ quest line of AC Odyssey is a comparison that comes to mind on how this could work: he is one of the cultists that is blackmailed into serving the bad guys that are holding his family prisoner. You can just outright kill him like you do with all other cultists, but if you take a more merciful approach with other cultists you get the option to convince him to switch sides. Optionally you can even save his family from the cult. This game could have a similar approach to dealing with the rebellion, where you get to choose to stop them with diplomacy or by killing the goblins. A thing that would tie very nicely into this is the part of the trailer where they say that you learn some abilities from other students, this could be especially the case for the dark magic that isn’t taught at Hogwarts. So the unlocking of the killing curse could be behind other quests that allow you to choose between good and bad, and means that a good wizard doesn’t even have the killing curse to begin with. And that could even be behind befriending dark wizards that would give you those quests.

[@LyraLes]

@@hallo0hoi Uuuuu that's an interesting theory! In the blog post it actually says we have the ability to go on quests not only with the Professor Fig and the three companions shown but also with other professors and other NPCs along the game so I think it's VERY likely one of those will be a darker wizard who will teach us dark magic and spells like the killing curse since in no way are we learning that from our teacher or companions 😂 I do hope there is a choice between killing the goblins and perhaps siding with them and finding a more diplomatic approach to solving the rebellion and war that will happen!

Hmmm good question, I don't personally think so, like I doubt one of our companions die or something even if we decide to go evil and are able to kill our enemies I'm not sure if they'll kill someone we care about.
