You could walk up the Grand Staircase and see how new steps materialize in front of you, or find how interconnected each room or wing is.
You might even see a snake symbol etched in the girls’ bathroom that serves as the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets. There are those you’d stumble upon, i.e., a suit of armor destroying the one beside it, to sleeping portraits of headmasters that shoosh you if you’re too loud. Throughout the campaign, there are references and callbacks that are sure to get a laugh or a grin, from pulling out a Mandrake and levitating a feather to commanding a broom to go up. And soon you interact with magical beasts, danger, and a perplexing mystery before you even get to the sorting hat.

I should mention that our Hogwarts Legacy review is only being published now since our code came in just as the Deluxe Edition’s early access phase went live. Moreover, I had read the Harry Potter novels and watched the films ages ago, and was eager to see how Avalanche could bring the lore and themes to life. As someone who looks at open-world games while relishing the idea of exploration and collection, I knew it was right up my alley. Hogwarts Legacy is a massive, open-world game from Avalanche Software and Warner Bros.
