About Hogwarts Legacy
Hogwarts Legacy is an open-world action RPG from Avalanche Software, set in the wizarding world first introduced in the Harry Potter books. It takes place in the 1800s, long before the novels: you arrive as a fifth-year student who holds the key to an ancient secret threatening the whole wizarding world.
You create your own witch or wizard, get sorted into a house and attend classes, then explore the castle, Hogsmeade and the Scottish Highlands on foot, on a broom or on flying beasts. Combat chains spells together against Dark wizards, goblins and creatures, while potions, plants, gear and talents let you shape your play style.

- Spell-based combat – that combines attack, control and defensive charms.
