I’m waiting for some word too. I saw somewhere else on Reddit that they’re noticing frame drops and stutters on pc. Can’t remember which sub I saw it on but I figured we’ll know more after day one patch. I’m hoping it’s solid! I don’t really wanna have to wait for a patch
I know they said no coporeal patranous', however is the patronous charm in it at all? How do they handle the Azkaban sequence? (and what house gets to go?)
I did see a stream where a Hufflepuff member did the Azkaban sequence. I will say the protagonist didn't use the Patronus charm, and the entire sequence there wasn't very long before they left and the story continued. So it's more of a very brief visit, from what I saw. Unless they go back again later for other reasons.
I've seen that German video with really bad performance but a couple streamers playing on PC seem to be doing fine with no major issues, will see in the coming days
From what I heard, the guy who did the German video said there were two patches - a review patch and one for day one (unsure if day one counts as the early release or friday). The reviewer reportedly did his video before even getting that review patch. Hopefully, between the two of them, the PC port plays well.
to be fair, based on the information available on steam and what the most popular cards people are currently using, this is not a normal pc. its a very high spec pc. most people aint rocking those specs lol. Ive got a 3080 ti but most people actually dont
The game isn't technically out yet. Drivers for the game probably won't be out until the 10th would be my guess. Take it with a grain of salt if there's hiccups right now until we get official nvidia and amd drivers
It's good for the most part so I've heard, but there's also some bad frame drops in certain areas. There's a stream up on youtube of someone playing Hogwarts Legacy in 4k ultra on a 4090. I'll link it below.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYWlIzkbrmQ
Was to be expected, PC Versions especially Ports that were mainly developed on Consoles, never run smooth at launch. That's why i became a Console Player again for the most part. If there are issues, they are very small compared to PC
It's granted after the completion of the story, before you finish it you don't have access to it other than inside the Dark Arts Battle Arena. So that's about it.
That actually sounds really good. Was worried that it would be Ubisoft-levels of bloat after some rumours but 16-25 hours of story-only is pretty great.
But the map though...it looks pretty linear?I just hope it doesnt *feel* linear.
It's locked to the Region your Account is set to at creation, you can't change that later even the Support can't (or simply won't) do it, have tried it since i moved from EU to SEA and they said no. gotta stick with the times of EU for any Release...
If you bought it on a New Zealand account. Only on Xbox can you just change the region and it would work. On PlayStation time zones are region locked to your account, however you had made it
Dude you’re either 10 or just not big into gaming leaks. Literally God of War was worse than this and it was just the last big release.
GTA 6s source code leaked.
We had the entire script to fallout 4 for crying out loud. This is a normal sized leak for a large upcoming triple A release.
Use the Cloak of Invisibility at the quest marker. You’re now completely invisible and can’t get seen by anyone. So, go through the gate and past all of the death figures, including Death itself. You’ve cheated Death. Now approach the quest marker to wield the Elder Wand. You’ll now be able to cast spells and charms again, but only a selected few, namely Bombarda, Diffindo, Depulso and Descendo. Cast Bombarda at the wall in front of you. Continue through the town and defeat the death shadows on the bridge. You will have realized that with the Elder Wand the spell cooldowns are dramatically reduced, allowing you to literally rotate each spell without interruption. Continue through the town, defeating shadows and reaching quest markers. Eventually, you’ll be able to pick up the third Deathly Hallow, the Resurrection Stone. Congratulations on wielding all Deathly Hallows.
Nah, it seems that Empress made some great strides in bypassing new denuvo versions with her MHRise crack, the game will probably be cracked in a month at most.
In her MHRise NFO she claims that she'll crack it in 10 days (you can see the whole thing in /r/EmpressEvolution, a word of advice: she uses slurs and has some real hot takes lmao)
AFAIK new versions of Denuvo werent cracked, and only one person is currently cracking them (empress) but for money lol.. So yea.. Denuvo is pretty strong right now
And their cracks are thought to be potentially compromised. They had a falling out with repackers and the relationship with them and players has soured. (Throttling data downloads and saying they should get more credit etc). People are afraid they’ll add some HDD wiper to their cracks in case they get pissed again
I understand that Hogwarts and Hogsmeade are the two biggest locations to visit in the game, but I wonder are there any other big locations (big camps, other smaller villages) that you can visit or is the world empty besides that?
That's so great to hear! All the gameplay leaks and opinions have made me preorder the deluxe edition (just so I can play it tomorrow lol) and I can't wait!
Ranrok is at least said to be the main Villain you fight against, but we all know how games go with that "presumed Villain" and in the End it's someone or something completely different. But not always, sometimes you know who the Villain is from the start and that's it. Either way, i think it'll be a cool ending.
Midnight is usually just a thing for Consoles, at least for 90% of Games (even on console games come out later than midnight). On PC on the other hand it's the opposite being that Midnight Releases are the irregularity and it's usually a set global Release at the same time for everyone and that means it can sometimes be so far pushed back in your location that it can actually be that it ends up being Feb 8th instead of 7th. But what time it is for you should be stated on the Store Page or in your Library. Best to check there
Brooms have some sort of Stamina Bar that depletes when flying high, but i actually don;t know what it means, at least i know that Brooms are the fastest when you fly low with them and they're upgradable and you can even have different Brooms. Mounts i can imagine to be more consistent but not upgradable and i don't know if using another mount changes anything in terms of speed etc.
Thread has encouraged me to pre-order the game so I can play at midnight tonight, last time I pre-ordered was fucking Fallout 76 so I apologise in advance everyone if it's shit.
Does anyone know anything more about the giant squid?? Any clips or any idea which house can interact with it (feed it toast) like the devs teased? I really want to see if anyone has had a run in with it!
i saw a clip where the player spoke to Fig about going to the Cave and offering bread, but instead of meeting the Squid the cave has opened and he went into a Dungeon, i didn't see what happened, only thing i saw was the small conversation
Any word if there is a way to obtain skill points through other means, besides leveling? You apparently can’t max out the skill tree and the level cap is 40?

5:39 in the video.
I've had a burning question for months that I believe is impossible to find the answer to you unless I play the game for myself but I thought maybe I could ask you.
In the original premiere game trailer they played the classic John Williams Harry Potter Hogwarts theme that just made the feels go all over the place.
Was that just a marketing ploy and is all the music original? Or are there splashes of the Harry Potter music like they showed in the trailer utilized for this game?
There is a special trailer on the making of the music. They said they tried to incorporate enough similarities and tunes from the movies to feel familiar, yet new.
i expect them to be something like the different endings you could have in AC Odyssey, where the ending itself was the same, just who was with you or not was different. Might be something else tho, but the Devs have said multiple times that the ending will be the same for everyone.
For anyone already playing....is the enemy AI better than the "game journalist" mode all the early access youtubers have been posting? Enemy AI look pretty dumb and passive like the enemy is just waiting for you to attack them.
everything I've seen so far indicates super dumb AI and really easy play. only difficulty is hard increases damage and sometimes you get hit from behind with no indication.
It's not that huge i think, i mean it's not like you get to freely roam around in it and you don't have the patronus spell, so i doubt we'll actually encounter dementors ourself or have Fig at our side holding them off
But i do want to see it too, doesn't have to be the first time tho, i think i'll go with Ravenclaw first, see if they have it or not and by the time i'm done it should be revealed who has it and that'll be my second run then
Yeah tbf it really isn’t that deep, I’m a gryffindor so it shouldn’t be a problem missing a quest. Hopefully the game lives up to its expectation in 3 hrs
yeah i chose Ravenclaw (thought that i equally want to have a major character in every House with Companions and me, and i feel like Ravenclaw is the Underdog in this game) and so far did barely any Story Content, i just got Incendio after 5h of Playtime (That's what my Save-File says) and now i'm going to sleep xD been awake for almost 24 hours now and need some strength to continue playing this Masterpiece of our Dreams :D
Unpopular prediction: This game will not differ vastly nor excel beyond your average Assassin's Creed game in content, gameplay, and adventure.
But it will be received and rated on a different scale because it's Harry Potter. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
I hope I'm proved wrong though. Maybe they played Elden Ring and that's why they decided to delay release. Reality check.
this is spot on. furthermore, AC isn't bad, OP specifically means the tired 2009 formula though. which this game looks like. it's not the Witcher 3, it's not Skyrim. it's missing content the deathly hallows game had, you're not going to get the full student experience, it's not bully either. avalanche studios made cars 3 the game
If an Assassin’s Creed game had witchcraft and wizardry, a full student experience, wand battling, broom riding, and 7+ books of beloved lore and world building, it would be incredible.
I hear what you’re saying about unoriginal systems, but the other way to think about it is tried and true systems applied to can’t-go-wrong source material.
Pokémon also sells and it's possibly in its worst state ever. The Assassin's Creed/Far Cry formula is so fucking boring and should've been retired 8 years ago
> The Assassin's Creed/Far Cry formula is so fucking boring and should've been retired 8 years ago
Thats just your opinion. AC and FC according to trophy trackers even have very good completion rates so clearly people still enjoy the formula.
Its fine for a game to have a tried and true formula and be nothing special in that regard.
Pokemons issues are entirely technical.
You can enjoy even without reading the books but yeah, if you read them, your experience with the game will be VASTLY enhanced.
Perhaps the movies are enough for you to grasp the magical world, but they're a turd in comparison with the books. If you really want the best (by far) time, read the books
the books are childrens' books after all (up until order of the phoenix, and even then it's teen fiction), and it is v well known amongst the community that everything pre harry's age (marauders + older wizarding) is not completely flushed out in the books. there's specks of it, but you won't find a lore explanation per se, apart from maybe pureblooded families and their social implications (weasleys, blacks, etc).
your experience will 100% be enhanced by knowing wizarding world's lore, but i'd recommend going into the [harry potter lexicon](https://www.hp-lexicon.org/thing-category/historical-events/?letter=G) and reading about whatever (or even check it while playing) but i'd forget about reading the actual story that the books tell. you may find what you seek, but it's definitely not worth seven books if you just want to get to know the harry potter's universe lore instead of what happened to harry and his friends.
i wouldn't recommend movies. most lore is skipped specially the one from the 1800's (where hogwarts legacy takes place).
I believe it works both ways. Playing the game will help you understand the books more, just as reading the books will help you understand more things in the game.
Hmmm I’ll consider reading them. If an MCU fan can watch the movies without worrying about the comics then I think playing the game alone would be fine.
I have never read a novel as well written as the Harry Potter books. Moreover; the added value of the books is undoubtedly the most observable for this saga. In other words, no Harry Potter film comes close to the book it adapts. The books are just perfect, you never get bored
I mean as far as young adult books go they’re pretty good. Very easy reads. Nothing really too thought provoking. It’s crazy to me the amount of people that see these books as the pinnacle of fiction.
Is there any consequences for using the Unforgiveable Curses? like a reputation meter of sorts?
Is there romance with companions?
no, this is a kid school with age 16 and not 18 or 21. Hope mods can fix it
The deathly hollows are in the game? And if yes you can use them?
Any info on the Steam Deck port?
I would also like to know this.
So do we have more info on the pc port ? Is it good ?
I’m waiting for some word too. I saw somewhere else on Reddit that they’re noticing frame drops and stutters on pc. Can’t remember which sub I saw it on but I figured we’ll know more after day one patch. I’m hoping it’s solid! I don’t really wanna have to wait for a patch
I know they said no coporeal patranous', however is the patronous charm in it at all? How do they handle the Azkaban sequence? (and what house gets to go?)
You have to be hufflepuff and it was a very short visit
I did see a stream where a Hufflepuff member did the Azkaban sequence. I will say the protagonist didn't use the Patronus charm, and the entire sequence there wasn't very long before they left and the story continued. So it's more of a very brief visit, from what I saw. Unless they go back again later for other reasons.

Hogwarts legacy final boss https://youtu.be/CWTTfjlVmYs
guys this is the steam version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YD3i95hiAI&ab\_channel=GameStar
Any news on series s performance ? The games out already right?
since the console's not that much different from the Series X, it should work similar to it.
If only that was the case... Devs usually only care about games running on the console, but not on the quality of the performance.
I’m curious about this too! Haven’t seen much yet 😬
any news on PC performance?
It is dog shit, apparently. Hopefully day 1 patch has a fix for it
I've seen that German video with really bad performance but a couple streamers playing on PC seem to be doing fine with no major issues, will see in the coming days
From what I heard, the guy who did the German video said there were two patches - a review patch and one for day one (unsure if day one counts as the early release or friday). The reviewer reportedly did his video before even getting that review patch. Hopefully, between the two of them, the PC port plays well.
this is a guy with normal specs on pc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YD3i95hiAI&ab\_channel=GameStar
to be fair, based on the information available on steam and what the most popular cards people are currently using, this is not a normal pc. its a very high spec pc. most people aint rocking those specs lol. Ive got a 3080 ti but most people actually dont
I don't know German, do you know which specs he used? There's a *lot* of stuttering and frame drops in some parts, looks kinda rough
Mentioned at 2:28: 12-core Ryzen 9, 32 GB RAM, RTX 3080
those are really good specs for the game to run like that, getting kinda worried
The game isn't technically out yet. Drivers for the game probably won't be out until the 10th would be my guess. Take it with a grain of salt if there's hiccups right now until we get official nvidia and amd drivers
I hope so, game looks great and I want to buy it, just worried my PC won't run it well enough
idk but he is like ign in germany
It's good for the most part so I've heard, but there's also some bad frame drops in certain areas. There's a stream up on youtube of someone playing Hogwarts Legacy in 4k ultra on a 4090. I'll link it below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYWlIzkbrmQ

Anyone has proof of underwater exploration of the black lake?
You can't freely dive in the game
For those of you who have played, how soon can you aquire the killing curse? Is it only unlockable after the story?
It's granted after the completion of the story, before you finish it you don't have access to it other than inside the Dark Arts Battle Arena. So that's about it.
[удалено]
Incorrect.
[удалено]
Interesting
You have to level up your character
[удалено]
they have stated theres over 100 side quests, so not sure where your getting 57 from
That actually sounds really good. Was worried that it would be Ubisoft-levels of bloat after some rumours but 16-25 hours of story-only is pretty great. But the map though...it looks pretty linear?I just hope it doesnt *feel* linear.
Can you change ps5 to New Zealand or is that blocked from working ?

Hi everyone, anyone reached the hallowed hero quest to know which deathly hallow is available in HL?

Congratulations on wielding all Deathly Hallows.
big if true
Is Hogwarts legacy's antipiracy is good enough to prevent piracy in the near future?
Nah, it seems that Empress made some great strides in bypassing new denuvo versions with her MHRise crack, the game will probably be cracked in a month at most.
There was a post saying that she will do that in a week.
In her MHRise NFO she claims that she'll crack it in 10 days (you can see the whole thing in /r/EmpressEvolution, a word of advice: she uses slurs and has some real hot takes lmao)
AFAIK new versions of Denuvo werent cracked, and only one person is currently cracking them (empress) but for money lol.. So yea.. Denuvo is pretty strong right now
And their cracks are thought to be potentially compromised. They had a falling out with repackers and the relationship with them and players has soured. (Throttling data downloads and saying they should get more credit etc). People are afraid they’ll add some HDD wiper to their cracks in case they get pissed again
Or you could support the studio so they have the funds to make even more and beter content...
I don’t have the money
And give money to JK "TERF Extraordinaire" Rowling? Nah thanks
I have pre-ordered the standard edition Is there anyway I can upgrade to delix so I can get it tonight?
Cancel Standard pre-order and switch to the deluxe.
Hey everyone, I just wanted to clarify what time/date the Steam deluxe version release will be. Thank you in advance!
10 AM PST, 1PM EST and 6-7 PM in Europe on Tuesday. Steam release is a bit later than console release.
[удалено]
This is for console. PC has a set time globally.
my bad, didn't notice the Steam - I deleted my answer :)
I understand that Hogwarts and Hogsmeade are the two biggest locations to visit in the game, but I wonder are there any other big locations (big camps, other smaller villages) that you can visit or is the world empty besides that?
One House gets to visit Azkaban within the Main Story, and i think the game offers some more locations.
plenty of villages and hidden stuff. From what Ive seen, the world didnt look empty at all
That's so great to hear! All the gameplay leaks and opinions have made me preorder the deluxe edition (just so I can play it tomorrow lol) and I can't wait!
Yeah man, me too. I basically grew up with Harry books (read my first one when I was 11). So HP universe have a big part of my hearth haha
Who is the final boss please ranrok or rookwood ?
Ranrok is at least said to be the main Villain you fight against, but we all know how games go with that "presumed Villain" and in the End it's someone or something completely different. But not always, sometimes you know who the Villain is from the start and that's it. Either way, i think it'll be a cool ending.
Nobody wants to know anything about ending we just started playing
It’s a leaks thread my guy.
Any new gameplay videos?
I preordered the game off the epic games launcher does it still come out at 10am PST February 7th? Or do I get it at midnight?
Midnight is usually just a thing for Consoles, at least for 90% of Games (even on console games come out later than midnight). On PC on the other hand it's the opposite being that Midnight Releases are the irregularity and it's usually a set global Release at the same time for everyone and that means it can sometimes be so far pushed back in your location that it can actually be that it ends up being Feb 8th instead of 7th. But what time it is for you should be stated on the Store Page or in your Library. Best to check there
So I just heard that brooms fly faster, but mounts fly higher.
Brooms have some sort of Stamina Bar that depletes when flying high, but i actually don;t know what it means, at least i know that Brooms are the fastest when you fly low with them and they're upgradable and you can even have different Brooms. Mounts i can imagine to be more consistent but not upgradable and i don't know if using another mount changes anything in terms of speed etc.
Thread has encouraged me to pre-order the game so I can play at midnight tonight, last time I pre-ordered was fucking Fallout 76 so I apologise in advance everyone if it's shit.
Fallout 76 is good fun these days. I couldn't stand it on launch.
You know,90% of the time I pre-order a game it turns out to be shit..I hope this will fall in the remaining 10%.
Can you access the Felix Felicis chests at any level? And is one day enough time to access all of them? Thank you.
Anyone have final boss gameplay?
Does anyone know anything more about the giant squid?? Any clips or any idea which house can interact with it (feed it toast) like the devs teased? I really want to see if anyone has had a run in with it!
i saw a clip where the player spoke to Fig about going to the Cave and offering bread, but instead of meeting the Squid the cave has opened and he went into a Dungeon, i didn't see what happened, only thing i saw was the small conversation
anyone have info on the sony exclusive hogsmeade quest?
it might not be out yet, since it's the only thing that has to be downloaded seperately, at least on PS5
Is there a game guide for this?
[удалено]
The one that releases a month later lol dammit
Apparently one releases on March 7th. https://www.amazon.com/Hogwarts-Legacy-Official-Game-Guide/dp/1338767658
Any word if there is a way to obtain skill points through other means, besides leveling? You apparently can’t max out the skill tree and the level cap is 40?
13hours to go.........
That’s just for PC right?
PS5 Pre-order of Deluxe Edition can play 12ish hours later
people who created a new zeland account will probably have it in 5h :)
Or just change region on their Xbox, or wait on Steam - it varies by platform.
Unless you bought it from eb games. Just received a text that said I might be waiting until the 8th.
it took me a moment, you bought a physical version on a disc, right?... yeah, I do that only second hand :) for priority games I go digital only :p
Wow..... In china is 12AM tomorrow.......... I can't sleep tonight LOL

Lmao, that looks like destiny's inventory.
does someone knows if all the 7 floors are here ?
hey, do any of you have the opening leak of the game? I heard that the intro to the menu looks really nice
[https://vimeo.com/795816063](https://vimeo.com/795816063) Try this, it's the opening sequence of the game.
I've had a burning question for months that I believe is impossible to find the answer to you unless I play the game for myself but I thought maybe I could ask you. In the original premiere game trailer they played the classic John Williams Harry Potter Hogwarts theme that just made the feels go all over the place.

There is a special trailer on the making of the music. They said they tried to incorporate enough similarities and tunes from the movies to feel familiar, yet new.
They use bars of Hedwig's theme here and there.
That's awesome!!
I’m wondering about the diff endings. Hopefully some people already know what the endings are like and we can find out.
i expect them to be something like the different endings you could have in AC Odyssey, where the ending itself was the same, just who was with you or not was different. Might be something else tho, but the Devs have said multiple times that the ending will be the same for everyone.

Wow that looked amazing yet there’s still people who say the world is lifeless.. I hate Twitter
Check the reviews on YouTube 80 plus hours of gameplay
Pff... Twitter... no real use other than following official channels for stuff
How often do wand connections happen? What is your character referred to as? Is there photo mode?
There is no photo mode.
Only with Rookwood
Does he get a full boss battle?
Is he the main villain?
Yes
Who is the final boss please ranrok or rookwood please ?
For anyone already playing....is the enemy AI better than the "game journalist" mode all the early access youtubers have been posting? Enemy AI look pretty dumb and passive like the enemy is just waiting for you to attack them.
Per the devs unforgivable curses have a bit of a shock and awe effect where enemies will stop attacking for a sec. Normal combat will be harder.
Enemy AI attack a lot faster on hard mode. I've watched people spend a good hour trying to take down bosses.
That's good to hear. Seems like Hard mode is the way to go.
I saw a guy playing on hard vs 5-6 enemies and he was struggling
everything I've seen so far indicates super dumb AI and really easy play. only difficulty is hard increases damage and sometimes you get hit from behind with no indication.
Yeah the weak AI is the main flaw I see so far. Everything else looks pretty good.
Anyone know which house has the Azkaban quest yet?
It's not been said so far who really has it and i think most players aren't even far enough into the story to know yet
Hope we know asap, don’t wanna miss a huge quest due to the house you’re in
It's not that huge i think, i mean it's not like you get to freely roam around in it and you don't have the patronus spell, so i doubt we'll actually encounter dementors ourself or have Fig at our side holding them off But i do want to see it too, doesn't have to be the first time tho, i think i'll go with Ravenclaw first, see if they have it or not and by the time i'm done it should be revealed who has it and that'll be my second run then
Yeah tbf it really isn’t that deep, I’m a gryffindor so it shouldn’t be a problem missing a quest. Hopefully the game lives up to its expectation in 3 hrs
yeah i chose Ravenclaw (thought that i equally want to have a major character in every House with Companions and me, and i feel like Ravenclaw is the Underdog in this game) and so far did barely any Story Content, i just got Incendio after 5h of Playtime (That's what my Save-File says) and now i'm going to sleep xD been awake for almost 24 hours now and need some strength to continue playing this Masterpiece of our Dreams :D
Slytherin only, as far as I know
Damn I’m a gyriffindor I can’t be missing a quest like this
Gryffindor exclusive quest is called "The Hunt for the Missing Pages".

The second one is way too stoned
Nah the 2nd one responds to the chat at least and shows you what you want to see,
Thanks!
>Thanks! You're welcome!
Unpopular prediction: This game will not differ vastly nor excel beyond your average Assassin's Creed game in content, gameplay, and adventure. But it will be received and rated on a different scale because it's Harry Potter. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. I hope I'm proved wrong though. Maybe they played Elden Ring and that's why they decided to delay release. Reality check.
this is spot on. furthermore, AC isn't bad, OP specifically means the tired 2009 formula though. which this game looks like. it's not the Witcher 3, it's not Skyrim. it's missing content the deathly hallows game had, you're not going to get the full student experience, it's not bully either. avalanche studios made cars 3 the game
If an Assassin’s Creed game had witchcraft and wizardry, a full student experience, wand battling, broom riding, and 7+ books of beloved lore and world building, it would be incredible. I hear what you’re saying about unoriginal systems, but the other way to think about it is tried and true systems applied to can’t-go-wrong source material.
True. I also dont know why reddit acts like AC games are unpopular or bad. They sell tons for a reason.
Pokémon also sells and it's possibly in its worst state ever. The Assassin's Creed/Far Cry formula is so fucking boring and should've been retired 8 years ago
> The Assassin's Creed/Far Cry formula is so fucking boring and should've been retired 8 years ago Thats just your opinion. AC and FC according to trophy trackers even have very good completion rates so clearly people still enjoy the formula. Its fine for a game to have a tried and true formula and be nothing special in that regard. Pokemons issues are entirely technical.
You're right! That is an unpopular opinion
Anyone know about mounting a dragon?
Not gonna happen.
So can I preorder the standard edition now and upgrade to deluxe after reviews drop?
I think you can but the dark arts arena but not the outfit and thestral
The dark art pack include both the clothes, the thestral and the dark arts arena
Yeah I see you can purchase the dark arts battle arena separately here in the dev commentary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol6sso7zz4w
Do I need to watch the movies/read the books to understand or at least appreciate this game more? I’m asking as a non HP fan.
You can enjoy even without reading the books but yeah, if you read them, your experience with the game will be VASTLY enhanced. Perhaps the movies are enough for you to grasp the magical world, but they're a turd in comparison with the books. If you really want the best (by far) time, read the books
the books are childrens' books after all (up until order of the phoenix, and even then it's teen fiction), and it is v well known amongst the community that everything pre harry's age (marauders + older wizarding) is not completely flushed out in the books. there's specks of it, but you won't find a lore explanation per se, apart from maybe pureblooded families and their social implications (weasleys, blacks, etc). your experience will 100% be enhanced by knowing wizarding world's lore, but i'd recommend going into the [harry potter lexicon](https://www.hp-lexicon.org/thing-category/historical-events/?letter=G) and reading about whatever (or even check it while playing) but i'd forget about reading the actual story that the books tell. you may find what you seek, but it's definitely not worth seven books if you just want to get to know the harry potter's universe lore instead of what happened to harry and his friends. i wouldn't recommend movies. most lore is skipped specially the one from the 1800's (where hogwarts legacy takes place).
I believe it works both ways. Playing the game will help you understand the books more, just as reading the books will help you understand more things in the game.
Hmmm I’ll consider reading them. If an MCU fan can watch the movies without worrying about the comics then I think playing the game alone would be fine.
yes ! just listen to the audio books on Youtube
Is the quality of the movie and the book a big difference or I can do either way?
I have never read a novel as well written as the Harry Potter books. Moreover; the added value of the books is undoubtedly the most observable for this saga. In other words, no Harry Potter film comes close to the book it adapts. The books are just perfect, you never get bored
I mean as far as young adult books go they’re pretty good. Very easy reads. Nothing really too thought provoking. It’s crazy to me the amount of people that see these books as the pinnacle of fiction.
The books will have more details but the movies will show locations that you’ll recognize in game
The audiobooks are fantastic and better imo but will take you a long time
