    As someone who has never watched harry potter, I avoided this game for a long time. Now here I am, 150+ hours into the game, having every single collectible and done every single side quest. Absolutely loved the game, the story was definitely touching and left an empty feeling when it ended, combat system is amazing too: big variety of spells, combos, strategies and etc. A lot of details, great graphics and many secrets to discover. The game is definitely worth it's price.

    I played Hogwarts Legacy four times to try out each house
    1. Male Ravenclaw
    2. Female Gryffindor
    3. Female Hufflepuff
    4. Male Slytherin
    My sister and I grew up reading both the books and watch the entire movie series. Playing this game actually allowed me to relive my Harry Potter fantasies. If only there was a Lord of the Rings game, Family Guy game or Game of Thrones game that's similar to Hogwarts Legacy in terms of avatar character concept and maybe gameplay. Or perhaps something similar to that of South Park Stick of Truth.

      Probably don't buy it. I feel I wasted a lot of time doing boring stuff, and I didnt really enjoy it. And by a lot of time, I mean 40 stupid hours. This was over the span of 2 months, and I was so bored playing it. You may enjoy it, but it's basically the same 5 missions over and over and over again. I deleted it the moment I was done with the story, and I usually go for all achievements, but this game was so boring, I just didn't.

    If you played serveral good games and read Harry Potter again and watch the movies. You certainly get disappointed to the game. graphic are good but not great. The world is big that is a plus but the character interaction and movements are bad. Even with the best graphics and smoothest settings it is like a game you would expect made in 2014 instead of 2023... You played Jedi, Horizon or Assin creed your standards about graphics and movement are higher therefore I was really disappointed and sold Hogwarts after a month ... If you want to be a magister but with a better storyline and same graphics but a bigger world, play Dragon Age Inquistion.
