Some information about Hogwarts Legacy
Hogwarts Legacy is an open-world RPG developed by Avalanche Software (of Disney Infinity) that will transport fans to the magical world of the Harry Potter games. As players you will take on the role of a student at Hogwarts, even being able to choose your house and attend classes. Of course, there is no shortage of exploration, battles and difficult moral decisions.
In addition to the many magical skills, you will be able to make magic potions, charms and other items, and there will also be "herbology". Since it is an RPG game, of course you will be able to equip yourself with a lot of armors, while there will also be the corresponding character customization. There will also be many beasts scattered around the map that you will face, as well as many puzzles that you will have to solve.
It is worth mentioning that in the game you will not be able to play Quidditch matches, however you will be given the opportunity to fly with your magic broomstick and explore the area around the Hogwarts castle.
