“Wands and Wizards”: a Review of Hogwarts Legacy

The Video Game community and Harry Potter fandom is in for a treat for 2023. The brand new open-world game “Hogwarts Legacy” has recently come out on February 10 (Feb 7 for pre-order), and it, for me, has exceeded expectations. The game is fantastic, and lets you explore the world of Harry Potter in all forms. Ranging from taming fantastic beasts, to dueling dark wizards, to even attending classes and visiting the famous hamlet of Hogsmeade. Although the game is based on Harry Potter, it has no attachment to the main Harry Potter timeline in the movies and books, and the game requires no knowledge of the storyline, (although it helps to understand some easter eggs!) which makes the game fun for everybody! I will be rating the Main Story, Side quests, Overall Gameplay, and Map on a scale of one to ten.
