“Hogwarts Legacy is a single-player open-world action RPG set in the wizarding world during the 19th century,” says the statement. Therefore, it takes place more than a century before the most famous wizard in the books arrives there, considering that the adventures of the Harry Potter take place during the 1990s.
If on the one hand this information may disappoint those who wanted to follow the saga at the same time as the wizards, on the other hand it ends up being a very interesting experience in seeing places and characters in other times and contexts. After all, Dubledore and Hagrid already existed at that time.
Additionally, iconic locations such as HogwartsHogsmeade, and the Scottish Highlands are also present. The story begins with the protagonist, who is a character customized by the player, accepting to go to Hogwarts accompanied by Professor Fig, who is investigating ancient magic and discovers a secret room with portraits of ancient Guardians of Magic.
The protagonist's objective is to complete four tests left by the Guardians to reveal the truth about ancient magic. They reveal that Isidora Morganach, a fifth Guardian, used magic to increase her power, leading to a deadly confrontation with the Guardians.
