Of course you want to know if Harry Potter is in Hogwarts Legacy. After all, thanks to the Boy-Who-Lived, we Muggles are generally familiar with the school of witchcraft and wizardry. Hogwarts itself was introduced to us with his own eyes in 1997 (feeling old, huh?). And let’s not forget those amazing Harry Potter RPGs from the early 2000s and their hilarious, goofy graphics that will never be forgotten. All of which, of course, makes us wonder if our favorite bespectacled wizard will be joining us at Hogwarts this time.
So that Harry Potter in the Hogwarts Legacy? Will his now-famous friends, Ron and Hermione, appear as playable or non-playable characters in the highly anticipated RPG? Or will we find ourselves with a whole new set of wand-wielding witches and wizards?
The answer is actually the latter. You can expect to meet new characters as you learn magic. Unfortunately, Harry Potter and his famous high school friends won’t be showing up for one simple reason: They haven’t been born yet.
Why is Harry Potter not in the Hogwarts Legacy?
We know from the official Hogwarts Legacy website that the new game is set in the 19th century, more than 100 years before Harry Potter was born in 1980. That even means we probably won’t be seeing many of our favorite faces from the franchise.
Albus Dumbledore and Newt Scamander from Fantastic Beasts were born around the turn of the century, so they might have made an appearance, but we don’t recommend getting your hopes up. Warner Bros. confirmed that the Hogwarts Legacy story – while of course inspired by what JK Rowling wrote – was not created by her. The Hogwarts Legacy FAQ page states the following: “The story featured in the game is not a new JK Rowling story”, so we don’t expect to see many of her original characters in the game. has already been discovered…
So which characters will be in Hogwarts Legacy?
The playable character in Hogwarts Legacy is fully customizable, right down to your fighting style, so you can make your experience unique. You’ll even be able to choose which house you join, as long as it’s not chosen for you.
While we still don’t know much about the other characters that appear near you during your tutorial, we did come across some of the few gameplay videos posted so far. Instead of the charming and awkward Pomona Sprout, herbalism seems to be taught by a sweet young redhead, and a jovial old man seduces you. Other Hogwarts Legacy characters currently include classmates like your partner, Natsui Onai, and the mischievous Slytherin Sebastian Sallow.
Finally, the only returning character that we know of so far is the one and only nearly headless Nick. Murdered in the 1400s, Nick is certainly old enough to appear in Hogwarts Legacy and can be seen in one of the recent trailers for the game.
This is why Harry Potter is not in Hogwarts Legacy. At the very least, we know someone we know will be watching us as we explore the halls of Hogwarts, and we’re sure to meet our new friends soon. If you can’t wait for the Hogwarts Legacy release date and leaked DLC, you can try this Harry Potter Elden Ring mod.
