[still heron]

like bully

[red finch]

The game was never advertised as a school sim thoigh.

It’s always been an action adventure. Going outside of Hogwarts and having most of the stuff take place outside the school was always the plan

[topaz dagger]

But…but…is called Hogwarts Legacy. 🥺

[red finch]

Probably because “The The Scottish Highlands set in the Wizarding World Legacy” was too long lol

[still heron]

Highlands Legacy 😭 🔥 💯

[lethal needle]

[lethal needle]

thats cool, tells me that ur a likely spammer

not that it matters anyway, i dont mind spamemrs

[feral locust]

Its still an RPG tho

[silk lava]

They already have one wanna see what mine looks like?

[still heron]

ooo a tierlist

[lethal needle]

yes pls

[feral locust]

zenobia is f tier

[still heron]

😔

[junior sierra]

I have a question, is there a glitch with the graphorn trophy?

I claimed it for the mission but it won't give me the trophy

Never mind I got the trophy

[naive juniper]

heya!!

[still heron]

[naive juniper]

haru from persona 5

[still heron]

[lethal needle]

😔

[silk lava]

Gehehe I saw that snipe

[lethal needle]

[silk lava]

Automod shenanigans

[gusty cloud]

Wake up, we live in 84

[still heron]

This tierlist is ASS

[gusty cloud]

gryffindor glorifying murderer

[winter belfry]

+1

[gusty cloud]

the bottom three lines are correct tho

[shy oasis]

bro i was fighting dragon ranrok and died on the last phase one hit away from winning but instead of pressing rety i pressed abandon quest brooooo

these lil guys make the game 100% better in my opinion btw

[hearty panther]

Where obi, my only wan 😭

[silk lava]

I couldn't find anyone in the game who fits the profile

[narrow abyss]

Should i have not snitched on sebastian

I read the letters anne gave now i feel bad for what i have done

[red finch]

She leaves anyway

Did you learn all the Unforgivable? If you missed any then there’s no chance of getting them now you turned him in, if you didn’t turn him in then he can teach them to you

[narrow abyss]

Already did

[still heron]

then it doesnt matter lool

if you learnt all the spells from him then it doesnt really affect anything

[naive juniper]

meow

[feral locust]

ominis is top tier bro

[silk lava]

Eh I could barely remember him

[topaz dagger]

Ominis is best boy.

[rose peak]

true dat

[topaz dagger]

https://www.gamingbible.com/news/platform/hogwarts-legacy-2-teaser-fans-divided-004572-20241106 Welp. I may be out.

[still heron]

why whats wrong

[topaz dagger]

Modern setting.

[still heron]

oh is it

[topaz dagger]

That’s what the article says.

[still heron]

man i wanted to continue as my character

i thought by "coordinating storylines" that the HBO series will just have some HL references

[topaz dagger]

Damn it, damn it, damn it…

[still heron]

"hey have you guys heard of that one nameless fifth year that went around destroying goblins trolls and dark wizards into oblivion and then did something something something undearneath the school? very cool, anyway.."

[crimson musk]

That’s a fumble tbh. I liked the 1800 vibe

[still heron]

i still think itll be 1800s, theyll just talk about hogwarts legacy or make some nods and references to it in their hbo series

please keep us in the 1800s devs

6th year

[topaz dagger]

Don’t hold your breath, pls.

[crimson musk]

Ww1 era would be interesting too. More serious conflicts

[still heron]

though id rather continue playing as my character with the ancient magic and a different main plot, i guess i dont mind pretending to be my characters descendant or something

[robust fjord]

it's just staying with the canon

HogLeg isn't even finished, it would be too dumb to ditch it and go for a modern setting lol

at that point it wouldn't even be HogLeg but a remake of the Harry Potter games

[still heron]

ikr

u make a very good point

theres a reason the first game is set in 5th year

(future sequels)

[topaz dagger]

Never underestimate the power of stupidity.

[still heron]

hogwarts legacy 2 but its set in the 1990s and youre playing as a hbo character and theres lootboxes

RELEEEEAAAASSEEE MEEEEE

[robust fjord]

I mean they might be willing at some point to make a modern setting game (remake)

[still heron]

yeah like they got such a good line of games to make

[robust fjord]

but the books that were released with the game sort of imply the idea of starting as a 5th year is because they want to give an experience of being a hogwarts student as a whole

[still heron]

HL2 - 6th year
HL3 - 7th year
HL4 - Descendant/Ancestor

no way theyd throw it away for a hbo thing

[topaz dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/summer-child-my-sweet-summer-child-old-nan-game-of-thrones-gif-5580217

[robust fjord]

and they started with the 5th year because a younger student wouldn't make sense or might be weird

[still heron]

ohhh man

[robust fjord]

cuz imagine a 1st student going around killing goblins and stopping a rebellion

[still heron]

yeah it makes sense

[topaz dagger]

👀 Honestly, I can imagine MC doing that at 11.

[still heron]

but it also makes sense to make a 6th and 7th year sequels

5th year is about a goblin rebellion, imagine whatd a 6th year game would be about

maybe something akin to tom riddle

malicious student called rom tiddle wants to murder you

[robust fjord]

lol it would be weird tbh, way too young, and probably they didn't like the idea of having someone so young doing that

[topaz dagger]

Yeah, 15 is a much more acceptable age for goblin murder. 😂

[still heron]

16 even better

[robust fjord]

i mean, at that age and considering the year, seems better

[robust fjord]

the book also implies they want to go this route

[topaz dagger]

The book?

[robust fjord]

cuz "the whole hogwarts student experience" isn't just the 5th year

[still heron]

what book

[robust fjord]

one of the books they released that talks about the game

[still heron]

do you have a link

id like to read it

[topaz dagger]

Do you have a quote? @robust fjord

[still heron]

oh yeah a quote too

[robust fjord]

The Art and Making of Hogwarts Legacy: Exploring the Unwritten Wizarding World

released in 10th feb and it got leaked way earlier (someone printed the pages and uploaded them)

[robust fjord]

Not really, they don't say this explicitly but it's what I understood by the way they were talking about the game and the experience they want to give to the players

[topaz dagger]

What made you think they want to make 6th and-or 7th-Year sequels?

[robust fjord]

because it makes sense

if they want to cover all the years then you would either have to: make a game for each year or do huge timeskips

and they mention they want to give players the experience of hogwarts, being a student, doing your OWLS etc

we all know the game lacks in that area, we didn't even do our OWLS, it was just a cutscene as far as I remember, lol

[topaz dagger]

They said they want to 'cover all the years'?

[robust fjord]

isnt it basically hinting at that by naming the game Hogwarts Legacy, tho

not exactly all years, but give an experience of Hogwarts

which yeah, 5, 6 and 7 are enough

[topaz dagger]

No, it's not hinting at it by just naming the game that. Sorry.

[still heron]

they totally should

[robust fjord]

well it should, wouldn't make sense naming it Hogwarts and we are not even in Hogwarts

fun fact cuz we didn't even spend as much time in Hogwarts itself lol

also, they introduced pretty interesting characters that they can continue to work with, so why not go for the 6th year, the only problem would be adjusting the scale of power now that MC is pretty much too overpowered, specially if you went the route of absorbing the ancient magic that was stored

[topaz dagger]

"why not" Because stupidity.

[robust fjord]

They been sacking a lot of people for that

they know the Wizarding World franchise is their best shot right now

so the safest bet is just continuing HogLeg

I know WB been pretty dumb so far with their choices but lately they've been making good choices

and there's the plus that Avalanche really loves what they're doing, you can say we are "safe" as long as it them who continue with the development

[still heron]

i think amnesia is a good solution

[narrow scaffold]

hi

[still heron]

Hey

Whoops that was awhile ago

[dark bronze]

finally got all achievements; was able to complete all my collections now that a bug was fixed, found the map chamber as a hufflepuff (they have the best quest for jackdaw's rest imo), and got the 100 combo thing (i would always take damage or i killed things too fast so i had trouble with that one)

[red finch]

Easiest way for the 100 combo is to fight Inferi and defeat all but 1. Leave it in its invulnerable state, basic cast and dodge when your yellow indicator shows up.

[dire cargo]

I have had 200 combo in a couple of fights...

[red finch]

It’s easy to do if you have dodging and defending down, but if someone finds it more difficult then the Inferi method is the easiest

Esoecially with how slow they are

[dire cargo]

I know

[robust fjord]

Well, that wouldn't really solve the fact MC is too overpowered rn, so it will be interesting what they'll do for the next game

[still heron]

by amnesia I mean they forgot how overpowered they are

Problem solved

[dull canyon]

That will have no effect on their innate power though

they will relearn very fast how OP they are

[still heron]

arghhh ancient magic !!!!

[feral locust]

anyone wanna yap about HL 2? just want we want and think would be cool

[still heron]

i would like for it to be of you in 6th year

You could choose which grades you got on your OWLs and it'd influence your skills in areas such as potions, beasts, DADA, herbology, etc.

[feral locust]

yes

i want the game to feel more like school, Ik that a lot of ppl play games to get away from that stuff...but I want more interactivity in places. Like the ability to sit somewhere, or play a game with someone, or the ability to sit down in the library and do homework

I know homework doesnt have a ton of practicality in the game, but I think it'd be something they could work out

[still heron]

lol feels like you were more out in the Highlands than in hogwarts

Highlands Legacy

[feral locust]

it really did

idk bout the majority, but i wanted to feel like a student at hogwarts

i think we should have had more cutscenes that made us feel like a student and a real person. The cutscenes from characters sometimes just feel instructional

[still heron]

Yes

So a more detailed hogwarts and make the Highlands smaller

Just delete the entire section at the bottom right

[feral locust]

REAL

it felt like they really tried to find an excuse to have it, we only really go over there for Sebastions quest to visit his family

[still heron]

fr and the harlow duel which really could've happened anywhere else lool

[feral locust]

exactly

i wanted it to feel like the movies, where the threat is at hogwarts

because technically, its a suicide mission (if we didnt have plot armor)

why would we leave Hogwarts and seek out people that could easily kill us.

[still heron]

because the mc is a bloodthirsty killer

[feral locust]

lmao

we dont get punished for it though

[still heron]

and id like a plot that revolves around something in hogwarts

something akin to the chamber of secrets and young tom riddle

[feral locust]

yea, i want a movie like experience...i dont wanna leave the school

i mean, of course we'd occasionally leave, but I want a more focused storyline

[still heron]

True!

Anyway I can't wait for the dlc

[feral locust]

do you have any idea what it is?

I haven't been keeping up

[still heron]

no idea

allegedly it's going to be 20+ hours of new content

Like a new miniplot

It'd be nice if it was during the summer

Because seasons change lol

[feral locust]

yea

I do love winter hogwarts though

also, the graphics update on ps5 is great, the game looks a lot better

[still heron]

Awesome

[feral locust]

yea

also...i sort of hate the fact that we are able to always ride a hippogriff

ik its cool to see, but we already have so much. It'd be cool if we got to do it during beast class, but im not huge on constantly having it at our fingertips.

[still heron]

just chilling in your bag

I always just used the broom with the upgrades

[feral locust]

yea

[lime yarrow]

Dude I wanted the game to be an upgraded hogwarts rp sooo bad. I enjoy the open world but I feel like if I wanted that I'd go play Elden Ring or something

[feral locust]

My mom just played the game for the first time

She said it was boring 🥱 and thought all the missed chances were stupid, no diagon alley, starting as a 5th year, etc…

[topaz dagger]

;-; Your mom has no taste.

[ancient ferry]

dammmmmm

[kindred fiber]

I liked the exploration but overall its just average, but good for hp fans

Using Avada kedavra confringo is satisfactory lol

[unique river]

i bent my wand 😔

@dusky berry please help 🙏

@errant brook you know wand lore. it was supposed to be unyielding, but now it curves 😭

[topaz dagger]

I think they sold you the wrong wand by mistake.

[unique river]

that’s what i get for using Gregorivtch 💔

[errant brook]

curvature is natural and doesn’t take away from its beauty ♥️

[unique river]

you always know just what to say 😌

[dusky berry]

lmaoo

[unique river]

are you laughing at my bent wand 🥺

its a twelve and a half inch wand. unyielding. unicorn core 😤

[topaz dagger]

Evidently not unyielding. 😌

[unique river]

😭😭😭

[crimson night]

Same

I also hope they add new places

[feral locust]

crazy pull from last week

[crimson night]

Like Diagon alley and the ministry,

[feral locust]

i want diagon alley more than anything

[crimson night]

Same

[feral locust]

it'd be cool to get the other stuff

but i'd really want diagon alley

[crimson night]

Same, but even the ministry would be cool as hell

[feral locust]

i lowk wanna see our character arrested

[crimson night]

I was about to say that gringotts would be nice to visit but then I remembered we saw it in the beginning of the game XD

[topaz dagger]

We could see more of Gringotts. c:

[feral locust]

it'd be nice to have is it a visitable place, that we could go to anytime

[crimson night]

Would be interesting if the ministry fears our power of ancient magic and calls us to trial about it

[crimson night]

Yeah

[feral locust]

exactly

[topaz dagger]

Our crime is...having ancient magic?

[crimson night]

Not exactly a crime but being as powerful as it is the ministry fears (rightfully) that we may use it to not-so-good stuff

[feral locust]

no but we killed thousands of trolls and goblins

[topaz dagger]

But if we're being put on trial, that means we're being charged with a crime.

[topaz dagger]

And the Ministry cares about that why?

[feral locust]

think about it, with ancient magic we literally deleted that troll in Hogsmeade

[crimson night]

Then more then a trial an “audition on the use of that power”

[feral locust]

because even though we technically saved the world, we killed thousand of goblins who hadn't done anything themselves

[topaz dagger]

Sadly, I don't think the Ministry really cares about non-humans.

[crimson night]

Would be cool especially if at the ending we choose to free the ancient power in the chamber

[crimson night]

True

Especially at that time

[feral locust]

alright fair

but we also killed the hunter people who were human

even though they were bad people, its still murder

i just think theres some reason we would visit azkaban, whether its for sebastion or us

[topaz dagger]

We do visit Azkaban. If we're in Hufflepuff (a.k.a. the correct house). 😌

[crimson night]

Then technically even Natty, poppy and Sebastian (if you already don’t turn in him) would be on trial with us, bc they too killed poacher with us

[feral locust]

i know, but it shouldnt be house exclusive

[feral locust]

that could be cool, the gang but in prison

[crimson night]

And then escape

[feral locust]

exactly

[crimson night]

Wait, let me get the Dumbledore quote from the books-

“I have absolutely no intention of being sent to Azkaban. I could break out, of course - but what a waste of time”
-Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore

If MC said something similar it would be dope af

[topaz dagger]

❤️

[feral locust]

hopefully if they do say it, its not robotic

[crimson night]

True

Sometimes I wonder if MC has any emotions😭

[feral locust]

they clearly dont...

MC sorta has a resting b face

[topaz dagger]

The female does, at least. c:

[crimson night]

True

That’s why I enjoy female MC much more then male one

[feral locust]

i usually use male in my plays to recreate myself but he sounds too nonchalant

[topaz dagger]

ikr?

[feral locust]

the male voice sounds like AI

[topaz dagger]

Really does.

[feral locust]

"A few cobwebs and some dust" 🤖

[crimson night]

“Your blood on rankrok’s hands” said MC robotically

[feral locust]

yea...it ruins the immersion

I also disliked that we're almost never actually in the castle

[crimson night]

Btw I hope that the new DLC adds a decent ravenclaw companion

[feral locust]

i saw theories (idk ab value) that said amit could get some fleshing out

[crimson night]

Amit not only has only one adventure but can be annoying af sometimes

[crimson night]

Oh

[feral locust]

take it with a grain of salt tho

again, only theories

[crimson night]

Ok, sure

[topaz dagger]

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of Amit...

[crimson night]

Same

[feral locust]

(neither am I)

idk why but something about it jus ticks me off

[crimson night]

When he talks about telescopes and astronomy he gets annoying af

And also goblididock

[topaz dagger]

He strikes me as autistic. Nothing wrong with that, but...yeah.

[feral locust]

yes rlly awkward

[shut marlin]

Not me, a whole ass autistic, sitting here knowing exactly why the Hell y'all think he's 'weird' and 'annoying' because he checks notes gets excited about his interests and rambles on about them a little bit maybe. Smfh.

[feral locust]

i know multiple autistic people who have interests like that, they're not annoying

his character is just annoying

[shut marlin]

He's also a kid.

[feral locust]

im a kid too? so are my friends

im a teenager

annoying isnt restricted for non-autistic people or adults, its a term..

[crimson night]

I’m not saying he’s always annoying, only when he talks about astronomy and stuff, for the rest he’s fine

[shut marlin]

Bruh.

[crimson night]

[feral locust]

:)

also we're not saying hes annoying because he's autistic, he's jus sorta annoying

[shut marlin]

'I'm not saying he's always annoying, only when he exhibits an earmark trait of autism'

[feral locust]

what do you want me to say?

you came into a conversation and commented, we've recieved your feedback and that's that...don't make this a bigger issue

[crimson night]

Nah, when he’s in the goblin mine he’s fine, he just when he starts talking about astronomy he starts going on like crazy, which is a little annoying, but I can’t blame him since I often do the same XD

[shut marlin]

Actually analyse why you think he's 'weird' and 'annoying' on more than just a surface level where your reasoning is shallow at best and straight up ableist at worst

[feral locust]

i think hes lowk a pick me

[feral locust]

ableist? I think you need to put your head down or step away...because again I never said that I think he's annoying because hes autistic...I think he's annoying and autistic. You're the one who connected the two

[feral locust]

same here, im not autistic but i still understand why he rambles...for some people its annoying

rambling is just sort of annoying, it has nothing to do with the fact we have a theory that he might be on the spectrum

[shut marlin]

Prejudice does not extend only to active, aware, deliberate dislike. It also includes subconscious biases and opinions. Like what's going on here.

[topaz dagger]

I.M.O., in the goblin mine you're supposed to be sneaky but Amit refuses to SHUT UP.

[feral locust]

right...

[feral locust]

well it's a good day to be me, cuz i am not ableist. This is just you accusing me, i'd like to drop the conversation here

[crimson night]

What does I.M.O. Mean?

[feral locust]

in my opinion

[crimson night]

Oh, ty

[feral locust]

yea

i had to google it the first time

[crimson night]

Yeah, I remember he constantly was either being affascinated by the mine or freaking the hell our bc of the goblins

I never did that part in sneaky tbh-

[analog berry]

Hi everyone. Just curious but where can I talk about hogwarts legacy 2?

[topaz dagger]

In the Hogwarts Legacy 2 channel. It’s very small, so you’ll need to look carefully for it. /j

[analog berry]

I do not see any hogwarts legacy 2 channel. Can you please give me a link or something?

[feral locust]

They were kidding. You can just talk in #💬hogwarts-legacy-general

Or here too!

Especially if it's spoilery in nature, here or #‼-story-spoilers-‼ would be best

[analog berry]

Cool. For hogwarts legacy 2, I watched a couple of different videos on YouTube that seems to think that hogwarts legacy 2 will be based on/follow the harry potter TV Series(On HBO, i think). "Do you think that is true" or "do you think it may be a sequel to/follow up to hogwarts legacy"?

[feral locust]

Honestly, I don't know. It depends what the head of WB Games meant by "coordinating storylines" with the game and the HBO series

If we're going by what this guy said, then it'll be more of a direct sequel to HL 1

[topaz dagger]

🥹 I love you, Chief Financial Officer Guy.

[still heron]

year 6 is real!!

[feral locust]

i just finished fighting rookwood...

why was the ending so ass....

[still heron]

lol

[regal dragon]

But they said its gonna follow along with the TV show right? So that would mean its gonna have characters wed recognize and quidditch?

[topaz dagger]

They said the plot will be "coordinated" with the show. 'Coordinated' could mean a lot of things.

[feral locust]

my ass just chose the bad ending 😭

[still heron]

Nawwww

[lofty tundra]

I'm excited to see what ending I get lol

[uneven shadow]

I got the good ending but that boss battle they coulda kept it imo

[narrow scaffold]

plz help

nvm i figure it out

[unique river]

unsupported flight 👀

[narrow scaffold]

ohh i fix it

[lofty tundra]

If Sebastian gets snarky with me one more time I'm going to throw him off a cliff

BRO IF I EVER GET THE CHANCE I'M SACRIFICING HIS ASS

nvm he apologised

[shut marlin]

Lmfao

[lofty tundra]

Rookwood was wayyyy too easy

[topaz dagger]

Agreed.

[topaz dagger]

The most difficulty I ever had with that fight is when I didn't realize that the Ashwinders spawn indefinitely until you kill him.

[lofty tundra]

The whole game felt a little too easy, might try replaying on a harder difficulty

[topaz dagger]

nod Playing on Story feels like using cheats now. Even Normal feels kinda easy.

[feral locust]

hardest difficulty is really easy man

😭

[topaz dagger]

It is quite easy, yes. Several times I've paused the game to check that I'm not on a lower difficulty.

[unique river]

you are also the best 😌

[fossil fulcrum]

Because Avada kedava?

[feral locust]

i only learned that spell after i ended the story lol

it aint that hard rlly lmao

[topaz dagger]

No. I rarely use that spell.

[halcyon crest]

What happens since I saved Sebastian ☠️ 🙏🏻

[topaz dagger]

You get to sleep easy at night. 🙏🏻

[halcyon crest]

I saved him 🙏🏻 but I have every cruse spell

[topaz dagger]

Yay!

[halcyon crest]

Yayyyyy

[narrow path]

thery should turn the minigames in a mutiplayer fiture

[still heron]

that ball game got me raging ngl

AVADA K-

[narrow path]

same lol

iyoui cast that on your system

[topaz dagger]

It's easy. At least, the first two matches with Natsai are...

[narrow path]

well where is the wand dude

[shut marlin]

Lmao

[narrow path]

ya

hjey dude where is my wand

*start curb stomping him lol

[gusty cloud]

no wand for you

good luck with wandless spell casting

[dull canyon]

Question - could ranrock have used the ||drills to get past the AM doors in respository or just drilled into the rock around the respository area from a different angle to get around the AM doors?||

[narrow path]

Lol

[narrow path]

i wish the salon allows you to turn your character

[topaz dagger]

What?

[narrow path]

the salon in hogsmed where you use it to charge your character look

[topaz dagger]

Yes? What about it, tho?

[narrow path]

i wish we can turn ouyr character when we are selecting the hair styles

[still heron]

oh like turn them around

true!

[narrow path]

this game has an awesome sound track

ugg peeves he is lucky there is no ghost busters

he is annroy and funny

[topaz dagger]

I don’t find Peeves funny. And I don’t like how his art style clashes with the rest of the game. Even Fastidio looks less jarring.

[narrow path]

good point

[narrow path]

i love the fighting armor stands

[narrow path]

what is with pure bloods being jerks

[topaz dagger]

My pureblood isn't a jerk. ;-;

And Ominis isn't a jerk.

[narrow path]

true

[topaz dagger]

And Leander Prewett (mostly) isn't a jerk...

And Garreth Weasley...hasn't gotten anyone killed yet.

And there's Matilda Weasley.

And, uh...who else...

[narrow path]

lol yet lol

[topaz dagger]

Can't rule it out. 👀

[topaz dagger]

MY BOIII

[dire folio]

(Im cooked)

[topaz dagger]

?

[dire folio]

N-n-nothing!

[topaz dagger]

O...kay...

[placid wyvern]

Ominis is my boy he is like a mum to seb xD

[topaz dagger]

Maybe more like an older brother?

[placid wyvern]

No every time seb and I doing bad stuff he reminded me of molly idk why

[narrow path]

True

[tender wolf]

"wHeRe HaVe YoU bEeN????" vibes

[vernal girder]

||so honestly i know i havent spoken in here much but ive just gotten to the fight with ranrok and this scene straight up gave me the chills. just the way everyone came to help was incredible, the music and vibe of the whole scene was amazing to see and i straight up got the chills through the entire thing||

[narrow path]

Ugg the stealth levels suck

[topaz dagger]

lol, yeah. I tend to not stealth much in the stealth levels.

[narrow path]

Mine is stealth then kill everyone

[topaz dagger]

lol, so you're better at it than me. You choose to kill everyone after the fact.

[fresh solstice]

not sure if this constitutes a spoiler but ill put it anyway

||i absolutely love the third trial. it’s so incredibly beautiful. the way the whole world illustrates around you and this melody that’s sung by niamph it’s amazing. i really like the way it’s related to the story of the deathly hallows||

[shut marlin]

Big same, it's my favourite one

[narrow path]

I wish u can spend more time with the professors

3 quests sucks

I want more with them

[tribal tide]

i wish there was much more u could do after completing the story other than doing challenges and collections

[fresh solstice]

||im doing the final repository quest and I love how all the professors apparated to assist us||

[topaz dagger]

Not all of them.

[dull canyon]

I mean some gotta protect the students if things go bad for the rest down there and Black is obviously cowering in his office no doubt

[blazing grotto]

He’s obviously fighting back the bulk of the goblins offscreen.

[fresh solstice]

well st least some I’ve met

[narrow path]

has anyone lese keep crushing them them elves in Herodiana's puzzles

[topaz dagger]

I've done that a few times. Not a lot, though, since I rely on YouTube videos to solve them.

[narrow path]

lol

[jolly rapids]

is there anyway i can reduce spell cooldown?

[shut marlin]

Focus potion temporarily, or there's a Core trait you can purchase that reduces spell cooldowns with each basic cast

[earnest mantle]

How the f do I solve that darn snidget puzzle? If I hear Poppy say "Perhaps it has to do with light and darkness" one more time, I might yeet her across the Highlands.

[still heron]

Perhaps it has to do with light and darkness

[topaz dagger]

Right? XD I had to look it up.

[earnest mantle]

But HOW do I solve it? Does anyone have an exact picture of how to place the pillars?

[topaz dagger]

Unfortunately I do not.

[noble pond]

can u take a screenshot for us? I can't remember from my head this puzzle

[earnest mantle]

Will do next time I try this quest!

[earnest mantle]

In other news, I finally learned the last level of Alohomora. BOO YAH!!! Suck it, Gladwin Moon.

(Of course, the completionist in me will go looking for all the remaining Demiguise statues, BUT I deserve a break after this. STRUGGLE.)

[half elbow]

currently playing through for the first time

[earnest mantle]

Same!

[sharp vault]

i hate this quest

i got to the 2nd level but it's so annoying

i literally could not bother with it and just searched up the locations and went to a lot of them in one sitting

[hollow gale]

knocks on door
Game: "Hang on, I'm not ready!"
"What's that? I'm coming in."
"No, no, NO, AAAAH-"

[tender wolf]

i just finished that yesterday. there's two symbols that appear to be the same or at least very similar (kinda looks like a key). You need to position the pillars so that their shadow points to the two that are lit up on the correlating slab of stone near the puzzle pillars.

[still heron]

i like to think that hogwarts does have a door that leads to the cold, empty void

[winged rampart]

Pretty sure the room of requirement can provide that, if there are none elsewhere

[earnest mantle]

I already solved it with the help of the internet! ☺️ FINALLY.

[earnest mantle]

The ✨safest place✨in the wizarding world
Putting students in danger since its existence

[topaz dagger]

This is the Room of Help Required.

[feral locust]

hello !!

[topaz dagger]

hello !!

[feral locust]

hows it going?

[topaz dagger]

Working. T-T U?

[feral locust]

Aww ): im finally starting up the game after a while

but my shaders are taking forever to load

[topaz dagger]

I'm so glad I don't have that problem.

[feral locust]

Idk why ): i have a 4060 and ryzen 7 5700xd3 or smth idek

nvm its working now lol

[sage galleon]

Does anyone know how to find the butterflies again? I've completed all the challenges 100% but I still have 137/142 in configuration chests and I know this because of the butterflies. Can't find them on the map.

[winged rampart]

Pretty much spam revelio while flying, or google for their specific locations

Don't really remember if revelio shows their location or not actually

[still heron]

i was missing one so i had to fly all around the map with a map on my phone that was so tedious 😖

[sage galleon]

I did, and gave up hahahha

[sharp vault]

i finished the game and now im doing side quests but damn its kinda sad lmao to have finished the game

i did the shop side quest and it wasnt as scary as people said just long and annoying tbh, outcome isnt worth it either i just did it to have done it

[earnest mantle]

True.

[winged rampart]

My thoughts exactly, it feels too tedious for some meh rewards

[hollow gale]

Sebastian's uncle destroying his Shrivelfig and I'm just here like
"Psssst"

[topaz dagger]

😂 Right?!

[hollow gale]

Hello? This guy is eating the table?

[topaz dagger]

He has pica. 😔

[hollow gale]

That chunk of table on his fork hsdfg

[topaz dagger]

He's just trying to get his recommended fiber intake.

[winged rampart]

At least he's eating it normally, unlike some bizarre students I've seen

[topaz dagger]

Yee. At least he's using a fork like a civilized person.

[winged rampart]

They're eating candies with their... eyeballs 👀

[topaz dagger]

How else are they supposed to eat them? 👀

[winged rampart]

With their nose? Or ears?

[topaz dagger]

Good point. Nose is probably easier than eyeballs.

[graceful cloud]

literal eye candy 😆

[earnest mantle]

Me when I solved 27 out of 32 side quests and Summoner's Court makes up the last 5: 😐

[earnest mantle]

I mean, is anyone actually good at this damn Accio game?

[topaz dagger]

raises hand I am...sorta'.

[earnest mantle]

Not me. I either lose or tie.

[graceful cloud]

i just resorted to knocking their balls off the board 😆

[earnest mantle]

That sounds like something a Gryffindor would do. ☺️

[topaz dagger]

C'mon, that's downright Slytherin.

[potent harbor]

what is on the 20th of jan 2025?

[topaz dagger]

Next U.S. presidential inauguration.

[potent harbor]

youre excited?

[shut marlin]

An absolute travesty of an American historical event

[topaz dagger]

I am.

[potent harbor]

me too

[shut marlin]

You're both kidding, right???

[potent harbor]

im hoping wb give us some news on hl2

[topaz dagger]

I am not.

[potent harbor]

you can have your own opinion

[topaz dagger]

Yes, pleaseeee.

[potent harbor]

also wtf is that casting with the new hp series?

why is snape black 😭

[topaz dagger]

I get casting someone because they're a good actor, regardless of what they look like...but I don't like not adhering to book descriptions. It makes you wonder what else they're not going to follow.

[potent harbor]

exactly

like what next is ron going to be blonde and draco ginger

[polar briar]

I absolutely love that game

[tender wolf]

Im missing a couple of side quests... do they eventually necome available after waiting? I've completed the main quest and all relationship side quests, and no black icon shows up on the map anywhere

Sorry wrong channel

[hot lark]

Can imperio be used on the statues in the trails or no?

[topaz dagger]

I don't believe so.

[hot lark]

Dang it

[topaz dagger]

I mean, you could always try....Report back with your findings. For science.

[hot lark]

The Devs probably did that (if it doesn’t work) so the trials wouldn’t be a cakewalk

[topaz dagger]

@hot lark btw, I'm a Sebastian fan too. ❤️

[topaz dagger]

Now that I think about it, I'm not even sure you can get Imperio before you complete the second trial...

[honest fern]

Not fully. You can prolly find the Dark arts arena before the second trial, but that's not full access.

[topaz dagger]

Yeah. I meant actually learning the spell.

[honest fern]

I'm aware. But my ADHD brain likes to think things in as full context as possible.

[topaz dagger]

nod btw, I know for a fact that you can find the Dark Arts arena before the second trial. You can find it before the first, actually.

[honest fern]

I know. I was going in context of what I saw in rest of conversation.

[graceful cloud]

wish i had a screenshot but i went back to the sallow house after solomon banished sebastian and it was locked?? 🤣

i had to alohomora to get in lol was that supposed to happen

[topaz dagger]

Interesting... I'll have to check that out.

[hot lark]

Iirc Crucio can be learned at level 16, Imperio at 18, and Avada Kedavra at 26?

[silk lava]

Yes it was supposed to happen

[graceful cloud]

that's funny storywise 😆

goblins in the area? no lock
nephew in the area? LV2 LOCK

[silk lava]

Well the game isn't very well made in terms of environmental consistency tbh

They could add a locked door but they couldn't be bothered to add more changes as the plot goes on

[graceful cloud]

true true! i was just suprised they'd actually lock the house, i thought it was a glitch

[hot lark]

Poppy’s a pure soul

She doesn’t care about you using an unforgivable curse in front of her

[crimson night]

She cares only if you harm animals

Poppy be like:
“Oh you Avada Kedavra’d all the poachers in Scotland, and absorbed the emotions of hundreds of people from a repository under Hogwarts? It’s fine, Idc”
“You accidentally hit a puffskein while you were fighting poachers? AVADA KEDAVRA YOU MONSTER”

[hot lark]

Imagine aiming Crucio at a poacher and accidentally hitting a puffskein

Also Poppy is a sweetheart

[crimson night]

Fr

[still heron]

True!

[hot lark]

So my aggressive fighting style (it involves torture and mind control) got my game to crash in the goblin mine lmao

[topaz dagger]

Game said it wasn't comfortable being a party to this.

[blazing grotto]

Raise your combat morals just a little to alleviate the game’s worries.

[dull canyon]

Yah she's willing to commit murder herself to save the animals from the poachers.

Like its a trait all MCs friends have except Amit. They are the Determinator trope and are willing to kill to achieve their goals.

[hot lark]

(Once I get it) Avada Kedavra, Glacius, Expelliarmus/Confringo, and the disillusionment charm is probably going to be my most morally correct spell set

Repulso can also be an option instead of Glacius

[blazing grotto]

Positively angelic.

[tender wolf]

Glacius + Diffindo is op

[hot lark]

Regardless, it’s instant death with either Avada Kedavra, or Depulso (with the ground)

I think my spell diamonds when I get Avada Kedavra would be

1. Avada Kedavra
   Expelliarmus
   Glacius
   Disillusionment

2. Imperio
   Lumos
   Accio
   Desendo

3. Crucio
   Confringo
   Arresto Momentum
   Depulso

4. All 3 unforgivable curses + levioso

[tender wolf]

Mine rn is

• Bombarda

• Confringo

• Descendo / Depulso

• Transfigure / Arresto Momentum

• Accio

• Incendio

• Glacius

• Diffindo

• Lumos

• Disillusionment

• Reparo

• Wingardium Leviosa

• 3 Unforgivables

• Expelliarmus

[graceful cloud]

haven't tried a curse spellset yet though i'm interested to see the combat dynamics when i upgrade the normal spells to curses

[tender wolf]

I like using Imperio on trolls when there's one at a bandit camp or multiple trolls, and then Avada Kedavra-ing everyone I just cursed with damage spells. Works well in the battle arena too

[potent harbor]

i never use avada kedavra cuz i feel like its basically cheating

[winged rampart]

Upgraded crucio + avada kedavra combo is really broken

[hot lark]

Professor Fitzgerald's trial having you live through the story of The Deathly Hallows was wild

[topaz dagger]

...ly unnecessary.

[winged rampart]

At least it has no puzzles like the other trials

[graceful cloud]

was a good break from those stompy guardians

[tender wolf]

Slightly creepy but I enjoyed the break from how the trials were set up. San Bakar's trial was easy meat too

[silk lava]

Fanservice fluff with no narrative purpose

[tender wolf]

Might've been pointless but I liked the animation style for it

[feral locust]

I like to use:

1. Avada Kedavra
   Accio
   Bombarda
   Crucio

2. Transformation
   Imperio (though not using it much)
   Depulso
   Confringo

3. Arresto Momentum
   Lumos
   Disillusionment
   Nab-Sack (aiming to do all the challenges)

4. Levioso
   Reparo
   2x RoR Spells
   Tip: You don't need both Wingardium Leviosa and Accio, as Accio will automatically cast the other, on objects.

Also, I changed the keybind "4" to "C" for easier use. 4 is a bit awkward to press for me

[void cairn]

I don’t like this
Why is the ”Minding your own business” mission scary

I thought it would be a fun shop adventure

Not a horror game

[honest fern]

Right? It's horror out of nowhere. The puzzles almost make up for it, but....

[tender wolf]

My least favorite quest. I liked the cooky aspect of Fastidio, but the mannequin jumpscares were entirely unnecessary

[still heron]

i really enjoyed that quest

nice change of pace and it was spooky

[void cairn]

I really hope I actually get to open a shop at the end…if I don’t ima be pissed

I started this quest because I wanted a shop. Now I’m playing a horror game

[tender wolf]

You want me to tell you if you do or not

[void cairn]

Nah

[tender wolf]

Hah ok

[void cairn]

Finished the quest, can I actually do anything with the shop?

[tender wolf]

You can "give" your stuff to Penny to "sell" (it's basically like selling your gear to other vendors for money but you're technically "selling" it to yourself... you still get money)

[honest fern]

And technically you get 10% extra if you sell through penny.

[tender wolf]

Actually?

[honest fern]

Yep. You get an increased sell price if you sell your gear to Penny.

[tender wolf]

damn wish i'd known that sooner 😭

oh well i'm still filthy rich

[honest fern]

Yeah, well. It's kinda hidden. Iike you have to talk to penny to even find that out.

[tender wolf]

I've done the quest, but i didn't know you got more when you gave fodder gear to her

[honest fern]

Done it twice. Enjoyed it better second time, but that was all due to better performance on my PC second time around.

[tender wolf]

[graceful cloud]

bell quest bugged and i cba to reload 😩

played hedwig's theme a total of 17 times and now it's driving me insane

[steel silo]

I have not got that quest yet

[graceful cloud]

it's one of the treaure map quests!

[steel silo]

Only deal with the first one, have not run into any of the other ones yet

[tender wolf]

I think you find it around a bandit camp in the coast area

[tender wolf]

If you mess up before yiu hit the 8th/final note you need to play til 8 notes and then the count will start over so you can plan play it correctly

[graceful cloud]

no yeah it's playing the correct notes but the chest doesn't spawn 🥲

[steel silo]

The tale of Rowland oakes map is confusing to find where it is

[winged rampart]

Want me to give the quick answer?

Tbf those spots are pretty missable on broom

[steel silo]

Figure it out

[feral locust]

idk why but ive got into the second game idea a lot more

i really want it to feel more life-like

[hot lark]

What is more humane?

1. Avada Kedavra
2. Depulso/Bombarda to launch someone off a cliff

[misty marsh]

the first as you dont have to fall to your death

[tender wolf]

One is instant death, another causes suffering/pain before death. So technically Avada Keavra since it's quicker.

[hot lark]

Bombarda does damage but Depulso doesn’t but the shockwave from Depulso is probably enough to mess up your insides

[balmy beacon]

Is it me or does it seem like having to use depulso on someone is more fun in knocking them over a cliff?

[topaz dagger]

I'm not exactly sure what it is you're asking.

[winged rampart]

next try fishing then plunge them from a cliff :v

[balmy beacon]

Is it more fun just using depulso someone or using depulso someone off a cliff?

For instance I like using depulso and watching my opponent go flying off a cliff

[topaz dagger]

I don't often Depulso people off cliffs, so... XD

[tender wolf]

I transfigure them into explosives and use them to explode their colleagues

[winged rampart]

my favorite is freeze and slice

[balmy beacon]

Levioso flipendo descendo is another good one where you could smash their heads into the ground

[unique cove]

Or repulso instead of descendo

[unique cove]

Why we can't access this ?

[topaz dagger]

What?

[still heron]

what is that

[unique cove]

It was in the trailer

[unique cove]

Can't* sorry

[still heron]

ohh trailer

maybe this is cut content, like they changed it or whatever

[unique cove]

Idk but it would have been nice to have a little piece of London to visit close to Kings Cross station

(With King Cross)

But can't use the wand

Or can use 😈

[feral locust]

hi chat

anyone wanna rant

[topaz dagger]

About...

[feral locust]

the game, 1st or 2nd

i jus wanna talk lowk

pls pls pls pls

[slim palm]

@winged rampart

here it doesn't show much but im sure someone can find out

it was unlocked afer the first flying lesson with the lady

[winged rampart]

Kinda hard to make, but yeah, dark lightning

[slim palm]

the description was "dark wizard path"

in the shop.

oop yeah it is.

does the brooms havea ny difference other then looks

[shut marlin]

Nope.

All brooms perform the same.

[winged rampart]

They're only cosmetics, same with wands

[slim palm]

interesting.

[winged rampart]

Though they have upgrades, which you can buy later after the relevant side quests

And yes, it'll apply to all brooms

[void cairn]

Wait why are people talking about a second game?
What have I missed!?

[silk lava]

Relax, they haven't announced anything official

[void cairn]

Oh good

Haven’t missed anything too big

[silk lava]

So all of the sequel stuff is just rumours for now

[topaz dagger]

They said it’s in development.

[steel silo]

They probably going to screw it up, because if they do DLCs and it related to the HBO series, they would most likely have to do a huge time skip or the time turner which I don't know if it exists or not, which harry potter and the curse child proves a story that heavily on that time turner does not go well

[robust fjord]

I don't think there will be any relation to the hbo series, it was probably meant to say they'll coordinate with what will be shown in the upcoming series to avoid inconsistencies with canon (but not that HL2 will be based in the Harry Potter timeline in any way), plus this what just 'insider info' I haven't seen an official source say that

wonder how much they cooking for HL1, checked yesterday and they still been making almost daily updates to their development branches since the summer update

[feral locust]

hi chat...i think there should be co-op

[tender wolf]

elaborate

[still heron]

there will be no elaboration

[still heron]

i also think the same

HL2 should be a direct sequel to HL1 and maybe the hbo series will idk have a funny reference to hogwarts legacy or something

[robust fjord]

most likely

[severe cedar]

I heard HL2 can be in 2026 or 2027

[frozen shore]

Any news on the directors cut?

[robust fjord]

no, but they have - and still are working on something

maybe something will be announced in the Playstation State of Play in January

[honest fern]

Didn't know there was a state of play in January. Is this officially announced?

[frozen shore]

I do hope it’s a year 6 story, I also think it would be great to help flesh out not only the mc but our companions too

[still heron]

True!

[tender wolf]

I need more Sebastian content

[frozen shore]

I want to have mission where we can have a group of companies

Like Sebastian, Poppy, Ominis and Natty on a mission together would be sick

[still heron]

a friend group would be awesome

[robust fjord]

just a guess

[topaz dagger]

Can't get enough of that.

[stark thistle]

Sebastian is someone I would cause trouble with

[spark osprey]

Hi

[radiant girder]

he imagined it all, it was never real.

[autumn patrol]

hi

[feral locust]

really?

[feral locust]

i love you soviet

(cuz ur on my side)

i think co-op would capabilities would help so much

cuz think ab it, one of the reasons we loved the book and movies was the golden trio

imagine having our own trio, or even duo

[still heron]

😄

[dull canyon]

Happy christmas to all or your happy your equivalent to all

[hot lark]

Don’t ask me why but my second play through will be through ravenclaw with a character named Juliana Granger

[topaz dagger]

c: Why?

[winged rampart]

actually I can see hermione in ravenclaw if she ever chooses to be, so it's not that surprising

[shut marlin]

It actually is canon that she was almost in Ravenclaw

[winged rampart]

but she does show plenty of gryffindor traits

[shut marlin]

Well obviously

[winged rampart]

telling people on breaking rules > committing said breaking rules

real wild hermione

[hot lark]

Headmaster Black: cancels Quidditch for the term year due to an injury

Some random Ravenclaw student in the back:

[topaz dagger]

😂

[hot lark]

I’m actually curious what house Ron would be in if he wasn’t Gryffindor since Harry was almost Slytherin and Hermione was almost a Ravenclaw

[topaz dagger]

I think he'd be an OK fit for Hufflepuff...

Percy, Fred, and George should've been in Slytherin. :c Maybe Ginny too.

[hot lark]

Percy, yes but Fred, George, and Ginny? No

[topaz dagger]

Yesss

[tender wolf]

Rowling's favortism to Gryffindor is frustrating 😭 i get having favorites as a writer but goodness, there needs to be variety in the story.

[topaz dagger]

ikr?

Her favoritism is disgusting, really. :c

[tender wolf]

Yeah, none of the other houses got to shine as brightly and that makes me so mad

[topaz dagger]

Not even half as brightly. And Slytherin got done so freaking dirty.

[tender wolf]

Even villainous Slytherin. They're not all bad (Sebastian case in point)

[shut marlin]

For real

[winged rampart]

or ronen, merlin, and... slughorn I guess

[topaz dagger]

Or Ominisssss 😍

[graceful cloud]

would snape be a part of that list

[winged rampart]

I'd put snape in the middle really

[topaz dagger]

One of the...less evil Slytherins.

[winged rampart]

not a bad person, but not exactly good either

[topaz dagger]

Eh...I'd say he's kind of a bad person.

[winged rampart]

in the book maybe, the movie really gives me that impression

[topaz dagger]

Yeah, he's worse in the books.

[tender wolf]

Ominis my baby

Him and Sebastian can do no wrong

[hot lark]

^

I’m just saying

[topaz dagger]

ikrrrr

[hot lark]

Rowling would call Sebastian a villain

[tender wolf]

She would

[topaz dagger]

She wrong, tho.

[tender wolf]

She would've made him Draco's accomplice or smth like that

[topaz dagger]

ikr? ;-; She would've made him completely irredeemable. Like she did with all the Slytherins. Not even Ominis would escape the poisoning...

[tender wolf]

Grateful to Rowling for creating the Wizarding World but miss ma'am hasn't done much good with it

[shut marlin]

Real

[topaz dagger]

Agreed.

[shut marlin]

Pretty much the entire fandom has gone 'Thank you, we'll take it from here, off you go' and I love that

[topaz dagger]

lol, same.

[hot lark]

Unfortunately the Gaunt bloodline went deep down the dark path

Yes, Tom Riddle aka Lord Voldemort is apart of the Gaunt bloodline

[shut marlin]

??? What does that have to do with my message.

[hot lark]

I’m actually curious if the Sallow, Sweeting, and Onai bloodlines made it to the modern era of Harry Potter

[silk lava]

No because they're not canon

[hot lark]

Damn

[shut marlin]

Who cares though

We Make the Rules Now

[hot lark]

Well at least we know the Diggory line existed 100 years before the books (rip that bloodline, thanks Wormtail)

[topaz dagger]

They totally did. :3

[topaz dagger]

Yeah, Harry, good going sparing him.

He never should've been Secret Keeper in the first place. Makes no sense.

[hot lark]

Are there any other modern lines that existed during Hogwarts Legacy besides the Black, Gaunt, Weasley, and Diggory lines

[topaz dagger]

Prewett.

Bones.

Selwyn.

Travers.

Rookwood.

[tender wolf]

Ollivanders

[topaz dagger]

^

[shut marlin]

Remind me who the Bones we met was?

[topaz dagger]

Effie Bones.

[shut marlin]

I can't remember where FDKJSHFSDJK

[topaz dagger]

She's in one of the fast travel houses.

[shut marlin]

Ohhh right

Lol no wonder I forgot

[topaz dagger]

But yeah, why are there so few recognizable families in Hogwarts?

[tender wolf]

Maybe they didn't want to overload the game with too many callbacks and easter eggs

[topaz dagger]

But almost none of the modern families are there! At least not that we're aware of...

[tender wolf]

I want a McGonagall ancestor!

[graceful cloud]

tbh i thought we'd get a dumbledore

[topaz dagger]

How?

[graceful cloud]

no reason other than the fbawtft series being set pretty closely

[topaz dagger]

But Albus is, like, 9 rn.

[tender wolf]

I think they meant Dumbledore family

[graceful cloud]

^

[silk lava]

He's too young to be in Hogwarts. He comes in at 1892

[tender wolf]

Is Dumbledore a surname

[silk lava]

Yes it is

[topaz dagger]

YES. XD

[graceful cloud]

yes i meant a dumbledore family member

[tender wolf]

That's what I thought but there's like a whole itinerary in his name XD

[silk lava]

But he doesn't have any older relatives in his immediate family

He has two younger siblings

[graceful cloud]

considering the phoenix related bloodline i thought they'd be more uh talked about

[topaz dagger]

Huh?

[winged rampart]

guess none of the dumbledores needed any phoenix at that time

[graceful cloud]

i mean they defo would have a father to inherit that name

[topaz dagger]

...?

[hot lark]

When did that line show up during the books or was that during Fantastic Beasts

[topaz dagger]

Victor Rookwood?

Oh. During the books. Augustus Rookwood.

[graceful cloud]

hang on, where have i lost you?

[hot lark]

I completely forgot about Augustus, even though he was one of the Death Eaters that tortured the Longbottoms into insanity

[topaz dagger]

Who would have a father to inherit what name?

[shut marlin]

Albus's father would be too old to still be at Hogwarts

[topaz dagger]

Uh...was he?

[hot lark]

I actually forgot

[shut marlin]

No, he wasn't.

[topaz dagger]

I just looked on the Wiki. No mention of the Longbottoms on his page. So yeah.

[shut marlin]

The Death Eaters responsible for torturing the Longbottoms are the Lestranges and Barty Crouch, Jr.

[hot lark]

What did he do again

[shut marlin]

He worked at the Department of Mysteries and leaked information to Voldemort

[topaz dagger]

https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Augustus_Rookwood

[graceful cloud]

sorry let me clarify. my comment was referring to bloodlines that made it through 1890s to the 21th century, and i was wondering why a dumbledore hasn't been mentioned in HL.

[topaz dagger]

Well, both of Albus' parents are out of Hogwarts, Albus is 9, he has no older siblings, and he doesn't live near Hogwarts.

[shut marlin]

Because they weren't exactly remarkable before Percival was thrown in Azkaban or Albus caught everyone's attention with his genius, and none of them were the right age to be around or at Hogwarts

[graceful cloud]

not to say that they need to play a key role in it, i was really just expecting a mention in the prophet or something about percival dying in azkaban

[shut marlin]

That hasn't happened yet

[graceful cloud]

died in the 1890s

[shut marlin]

Uh yeah. And the game takes place in 1890.

[topaz dagger]

Ariana is attacked sometime in 1891.

[shut marlin]

Ariana was seven when she was attacked. Albus was older--yeah

[hot lark]

And Albus didn’t start attending until 1892 so unless we get the 6th and 7th years in some DLC or HL2 we won’t see him at all

[topaz dagger]

^

[graceful cloud]

yyyeah that's what i meant when i say huh not even a peep of em

[topaz dagger]

Because nothing has happened to them yet.

[graceful cloud]

the dumbledore bloodline wouldn't have started with them

[shut marlin]

Like I said, they weren't notable yet

Or in the area

[graceful cloud]

like i said they could be a hamlet shopkeeper for all i know

[topaz dagger]

But...they're not.

[shut marlin]

They didn't live there.

[graceful cloud]

oh goodness

[shut marlin]

Jesus Christ

Unless they gave Percival a random brother or something but it would be a bit ham-fisted of a name cameo

[graceful cloud]

so you're saying it'll break canon for any dumbledore to live in scotland before percival

[topaz dagger]

No, just that it wouldn't be any Dumbledore that we know.

[graceful cloud]

myeah ig HL doesn't want to develop that family tree yet like they did with the gaunts

or they're saving it for later

[topaz dagger]

Canon confirmation that Marvolo is Ominis' brother, pls!

[shut marlin]

Or uncle or something

[topaz dagger]

Yeah, something like that.

[winged rampart]

apparently portrait guy is still alive and rules over the void dimension

[shut marlin]

Lmfao

[topaz dagger]

lol. Is that Eldritch Diggory? I can't remember.

[shut marlin]

Ye

[winged rampart]

it's him alright

[hot lark]

I never said this during my Slytherin play through but the Barkeep of The Three Broomsticks, Sirona Ryan, got balls of steel

[tender wolf]

I love Sirona. Such a badass. Are they a they/them? Or is Sirona a masculine woman?

I couldn't really figure that out when interacting,so I've been thinking of Sirona as a she/her for now

[winged rampart]

sirona identifies herself as a witch, so there's that

[hot lark]

Balls of steel is just an expression, I was just saying that to show how impressed I was seeing her stand up to Victor Rookwood

[winged rampart]

I... know that?

[still heron]

he has promptly informed you

of the expression

no problem

[hot lark]

Now hear me out

Sirius or Remus should’ve been the Potter’s secret keeper

[topaz dagger]

James or Lily should've been the Secret Keeper.

[hot lark]

Remus and Sirius are waaaaaaaaaay more trustworthy than Peter was

[topaz dagger]

Agreed. But James or Lily still should've been Secret Keeper.

[hot lark]

Why is there no romance option in Hogwarts Legacy

Is it because it’s only one year

[dull canyon]

Should have been Albus Dumbledore. He even told them he would do it but if it was him, the plot couldn't have happened.

[dull canyon]

Or both. Problem solved

[topaz dagger]

Because life isn't fair.

[hot lark]

I would’ve romanced Poppy in a heartbeat

[topaz dagger]

Effie would be dating Sebastian by now. q-q

[hot lark]

Effie is your witch?

[topaz dagger]

Yee.

[hot lark]

My two are Ludwig, and Juliana

[topaz dagger]

c: Effie is a Hufflepuff. One of the sweetest, most selfless people you will ever meet, but cross her at your peril.

[hot lark]

Ludwig is a Slytherin and Juliana is a Ravenclaw

[topaz dagger]

^-^

[hot lark]

What’s Effie’s last name

[topaz dagger]

Bishop.

Effie Amelia Bishop.

[still heron]

thats a good sounding surname!!!

i love surnames that sound good

[topaz dagger]

ty, I thought so too!

She's from a minor pureblood family.

[still heron]

my one is a muggle 😝

[topaz dagger]

Can't be a muggle, they're at Hogwarts. o-o

[still heron]

whoops

wait whats the term for a person whos magical but doesnt have magical blood

i forgot the term

[topaz dagger]

Muggleborn?

[still heron]

ohhh yeah thats what i meant lol

[hot lark]

Julian Rose Granger is probably the most helpful student you’ll meet at Hogwarts

[hot lark]

Or as Draco would put it, “Mudblood”

[topaz dagger]

🥺 Effie's parents would put it that way too.

[topaz dagger]

So she's not related at all to Hermione, it's just a wild coincidence.

[hot lark]

Could be

[still heron]

hermione's ancestor 😱

[topaz dagger]

Can't be Hermione's ancestor, Hermione is muggleborn.

[still heron]

oh my gosh

youre right

it is a wild coincidence

[hot lark]

Now hear me out

A Weasley in Slytherin and a Malfoy in Gryffindor

[topaz dagger]

I like it.

[hot lark]

If there wasn’t Gryffindor favoritism, then the Golden Trio would be split between Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Hufflepuff

[topaz dagger]

ikr?

Or at least Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff.

[hot lark]

Harry was going to be Slytherin if he didn’t keep saying “not Slytherin”, I can see Hermione being in Ravenclaw, and Ron in Hufflepuff

[topaz dagger]

Yeah, but I'll let her put the main character in Gryffindor, since she likes the House so much. Just as long as the other Houses get representation too. Also, Ginny is in Slytherin, so Harry has no choice but to like at least one of them.

[hot lark]

Also Hermione isn’t Asian, and Juliana looks Asian

[still heron]

there was only ever one hufflepuff character that i remember and ||he died||

[topaz dagger]

I remember other Hufflepuff characters. They just never really ended up doing anything.

[hot lark]

F***ing Pettigrew ended the Diggory bloodline

[topaz dagger]

Hey, we don't know that. Cedric could have cousins.

[hot lark]

Nope

Pettigrew just ended that bloodline

[topaz dagger]

We don't know that Amos has no siblings.

[still heron]

took me so long to make a name for my hufflepuff character and when i finally decided and finished the game i find out there was already a person sharing his forename 😭

[topaz dagger]

Who?

[still heron]

amos 😝

cedrics dad smhh

[topaz dagger]

Ahh. To be fair, Amos is a nice name.

[still heron]

thanks!!!!

it means to bear a burden

or so i hear

[hot lark]

Once I beat the Ravenclaw path, we’re going to have an Evans in Gryffindor

[topaz dagger]

^-^

[hot lark]

Lily did unintentionally use Ancient Magic, so it’ll make sense if someone from her line passed it down

[topaz dagger]

But Lily is a mugglebornnn

[hot lark]

Dammit

[topaz dagger]

So your character would have to have a squib kid, and then, like, Lily is their kid's grandkid.

[hot lark]

Well say that happened

[still heron]

this is why i create original bloodlines

who are these people!!

[topaz dagger]

lol. My Slytherin was a Macnair. c:

And also a Lestrange. Did one of those too.

And my Ravenclaw was a McKinnon.

[still heron]

Valentine

Valentine was the surname i chose

[hot lark]

Has anyone done a Snape yet?

[still heron]

is it awesome or is it awesome????

[topaz dagger]

Nope. c: Probably 'cause Severus' father was a muggle.

[topaz dagger]

thinks .....It is awesome.

[still heron]

excellent choice

[hot lark]

Bro was known as The Half Blood Prince

[topaz dagger]

Yes. Because his mother was a Prince.

[blazing grotto]

I don’t think he was known as that. He just called himself that in his old potions book.

[topaz dagger]

Yep, self-given nickname.

[dull canyon]

Also its not the same as HL MCs AM ability. Anyone can use AM but most can't see its traces.

[topaz dagger]

Yeah, to most people it's invisible.

[dull canyon]

and in some cases, AM constructs are just not possible to interact with, unless you can see AM traces aswell.

Fig couldn't interact with certain things forged or enchanted with AM

[topaz dagger]

Right. And he couldn't see Gringotts on the other side of the portal.

[dull canyon]

though i wonder if they could have just broken through the AM container with mundane means.

magic doesn't always account for the mundane

like ya i can lock a doorlock with magic but kicking the door open will work

as Jacob in FB demostrated

[topaz dagger]

Is FB really Canon, tho?

[dull canyon]

yes

[topaz dagger]

How u kno?

[dull canyon]

the screenplays are canon

more so than the movies but both are canon

[topaz dagger]

How do you know they're Canon, tho?

[hot lark]

Doesn’t she look Asian

[topaz dagger]

Not really...but maybe it's just the Switch graphics.

[hasty steppe]

JULIANA FGRANGER

LMFAO

bro legit said if i cant have hermione ill make my own

[topaz dagger]

Don't be mean.

[hasty steppe]

you missed the point 😭

It wasn't intended to be mean

[topaz dagger]

What was the point?

[winged rampart]

I mean, that's what most people do anyway

[topaz dagger]

?

[blazing grotto]

We can all strive to be as good as a pail of strawberries.

[hasty steppe]

fr

she's too innocent

[topaz dagger]

I'm just innocent enough. 😌

[winged rampart]

as in, making their own characters with relation to certain families

[topaz dagger]

Ah. Yeah, a lot of people do that.

[hasty steppe]

I can't tell if she being sarcastic half the time or not

[topaz dagger]

I'm not being sarcastic right now.

[hasty steppe]

why you textin like chat gpt its uncanny 😭

[topaz dagger]

Huh?

[hasty steppe]

nevermind 🙏 😭

[topaz dagger]

I don't see how I'm texting like ChatGPT, but okay...

[hasty steppe]

[topaz dagger]

That really was a lovely picture, by the way.

[hasty steppe]

I have more but I can't send them because It's not allowed 😔

[topaz dagger]

You can always DM them. :3

[hasty steppe]

per chance

one of my favorites is allowed but the lighting is doing some very questionable things
