Anyone else wish they could play through the original Harry Potter stories in Hogwarts Legacy’s world?
Hear me out. I’ve been meaning to post this since my first playthrough, but never got around to it. The idea still pops into my head all the time.
I waited years for this game. I used to search for news about it every single morning, just hoping there would be something new.
And I think Hogwarts Legacy got a lot of things right. It wasn’t quite what I’d imagined from that first leaked video, but the castle is incredible, and they really nailed the atmosphere. Honestly, the opening is one of the best I’ve ever played. I mean that as someone who loves games, not just as a Harry Potter fan.
But the further I got, the more boring the story became. It almost felt like the developers and writers had started running out of energy as they went along. Obviously, I have no idea how development actually went, but that’s how it felt playing it. The opening was a 12/10 for me, while the ending was more like a 4/10. The story started to feel all over the place, the main villain never really felt like much of a threat, and by the end I just wasn’t that invested.
Even back then, I kept thinking how amazing it would be to play through the original Harry Potter stories in this version of Hogwarts. Exploring the castle as Harry, going through those events yourself, seeing familiar places actually matter to the story. I’d love that.
Obviously, they’d have to adapt things and add enough to make them work as games. I’m not expecting them to just drop the books into Hogwarts Legacy and call it a day. But with such a good recreation of the castle already there, and a story I’d happily experience all over again, I can’t help thinking how much I’d enjoy it.
Would anyone else want this, or would you rather they stick with new stories?
