Acromantula This species of giant spider was first introduced in Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets when Care of Magical Creatures instructor Rubeus Hagrid was discovered to own one as a pet. Normally known for their taste of human flesh, one can be seen getting blasted by a student in the H ogwarts Legacy trai

Except for the name, Hogwarts Legacy has been a known quantity since 2018. Some leaked footage came out before quickly getting scrubbed online. Since it was uploaded the first time this means it will never truly go away. Comparing its footage and this official reveal trailer is an article in and of its

Persona is seemingly not the only game Hogwarts Legacy is emulating. There are brief scenes showing players exploring caves and underground passageways. This could mean there are crypts below Hogwarts to explore and solve like in the newer Tomb Raider games. Maybe these puzzles are tied to dungeons too, again, bringing it back to Perso

It’s hard to see the first time but in the bottom right corner of the screen when the carriage is flying to Hogwarts, it says "Late 1800s." The stories involving Harry Potter take place in the 1990s whereas the Fantastic Beasts films take place in the 1920s. This means the team is giving themselves a lot of leeway to work with from the established lore. This will be less confusing for f

On the subject of the carriage, one might also be able to deduce that players will come into Hogwarts as the semester is already in session. This is similar to how the protagonist of the Persona games always enter their school years. Why? Well, first years always go by boat. After that, they can take these flying carriages starting from the second year all the way to the seventh. The player is also alone without other new kids joining them which backs up this late arrival the

Graphorns Known for having skin tougher than a dragon's and often aggressive in nature, the Graphorn is a large saber-toothed beast with a humpback and tentacle-like appendages around its mouth. One can be seen charging at a student while another allows a different student to pet it, perhaps demonstrating some distinct reactions a player can get depending on what moral choices they m

The Great Hall also looks familiar from the films. However, there are two new elements. First of all the plain windows from the films are now stained glass windows that represent each house. The tables have cloths representing each house too. On the subject of this area, the late arrival theory can also be backed up here. Everyone else in attendance has seen the Sorting Hat and is already dressed compared to the pla

On the subject of the school itself, the grounds and school mostly look familiar. There is one place that is a mystery though. There is a tower not connected to the school with a winding path going up it in the very back. Maybe this place was demolished in the 1800s as referenced by the books in a small instance. It could also just be a new area unique for the g

Dementors are a truly harrowing image to have during the early days of a student's journey at Hogwarts, but it looks like these horrible creatures will be invading the school at some point. Students may need to start practicing their patronu

Dragons It's hard to imagine a magical world without the presence of dragons. A student is seen dodging a fiery blast from one of these winged-reptilian beasts and the trailer ends with a dragon flying off towards Hogwarts cas

Many important events happened in 1899, though it seems unlikely they'll be shown in the SLG Game units, considering the Fantastic Beasts movies are in the process of covering them and due to their placement at the very end of the century. Ariana Dumbledore accidentally killed her mother and was taken under the care of her brother, Albus, who then graduated Hogwarts with flying colors. Soon after, Albus befriended Grindelwald, forming a brief, romantic relationship with him. This ended after a three-way duel between them and Albus's brother, Aberforth, when they accidentally killed Ariana Dumbledore. Finally, Eloise Mintumble severely disrupted time by getting stuck in the year 1

Dementors Considered one of the foulest creatures to traverse the wizarding world, Dementors are known for feeding on a person's happiness or even sucking out the very soul from a body. They can be seen eerily floating through what is most likely Azka

No one is ever shown playing Quidditch in the trailer. However, there is a shot of two students, presumably one being the player, about to start or at least hop on brooms. As this is an RPG, one can expect mini-games. Hopefully, Quidditch will be added like Blitzball was implemented in Final Fantasy

Trolls These giant beasts are filled with monstrous strength and greater stupidity. Typically armed with a giant club, the Hogwarts Legacy trailer has come full circle from the introductory encounter with a mountain troll in the girls' bathroom seen in The Sorcerer's Sto
