As we get closer to the release date for Hogwarts Legacy, a thousand and one memes about previous Harry Potter games on PlayStation are popping up, fueling the nostalgia that Portkey’s new RPG hopes to convey. Considering these games paved the way for Hogwarts Legacy, we ask how Portkey plans to pay homage to his predecessors.
“I love these games and remember the magic of playing them,” Moira Squier, Narrative Director and Writer for Advanced Games, tells us. “The essence of the Wizarding World stories is the same, good versus evil, so players familiar with the old games should feel a connection to them and even a bit of nostalgia when they return to Hogwarts.
“But we’re lucky with this game to be able to create original content that goes way beyond the books and movies,” he continues. “We know that fans have been waiting for a magical global RPG like this for years, so we hope that fans of the older games see that our game respects what came before and allows them to experience their own epic magical adventure.” .
It’s true that Hogwarts Legacy has nothing to do with The Boy-Who-Lived and its saga of conflict given the time setting, but he does state that the team “was inspired by beloved characters like Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Newt, Luna , McGonagall. , Dumbledore, Snape and more” to create unique Hogwarts Legacy characters that “players will love.”
Just as the main cast of Harry Potter “relied on each other, learned to hone their magical skills, overcame obstacles, and grew as a wizard and witch over the years together” in games and original novels, “the player will have He has a choice to make, but he will have the support of many friends, students, and teachers, in his own epic journey and the development of not only his magical abilities, but also his connection to the magical world.
“Their journey will be theirs,” he concludes, “but they will know they are not alone, and neither is Harry.”

The creator of the Harry Potter series, JK Rowling, has made several transphobic comments on social media in recent years. Although WB Games claims that “JK Rowling was not directly involved in the game’s creation”, it is based on her work and it is not yet clear if she will receive royalties from its sales.
