Well-loved characters such as Harry, Hermoine and Ron do not make an appearance in Hogwarts Legacy since the story exists on a different timeline in the past, but instead focuses on the player as the main character who discovers the history of Ancient Magic, how its affects the Wizarding World and how to wield and control it. Your character is not only expected to sense Ancient Magic, but be able to Invoke Ancient Magic. You'll need to uncover what's behind the return of this forgotten magic and who is seeking to harness it to destroy wizardkind- as you may be the one that decides the fate of the entire wizarding world.

Players will play as a unique character that has the ability to manipulate powerful Ancient Magic hidden in the wizarding world. The game a introduces a new character that will display unique abilities related to Ancient Magic, a feature with heavy focus throughout the game. The first mention of Ancient Magic begins at the early trailer release of Hogwarts Legacy.

Players can experience the same well-loved Locations such as Hogwarts, Hogsmeade and the Forbidden Forest with a whole new timeline and perspective. Players will experience the life of a new student at Hogwarts during this time as a fifth year ready to attend classes and improve magical knowledge, as well as meeting professors and new friends. Hogwarts Legacy takes place in the 1800s, a time before the setting of the books and movies. Hogwarts Legacy features the familiar elements of the Wizarding World seen in the books and films, but creates a new story that does not focus on any of the previously introduced characters of the franchise.
