lore

[calm solar]

And game breaking bugs still persist to this day

[jovial fulcrum]

Yus

[unborn ferry]

I just said, that I didn't care about HP before playing HL. So there are things that actually brought me to HP which HP itself wasn't able to do.

[jovial fulcrum]

Nah thats valid, but that doesnt make it a good game, does it?

[unborn ferry]

It's not that the game is completely better than HP, but at some point is.

[jovial fulcrum]

Some parts of the game are amazing (in theory)

Unfortunately, it gets overshadowed by all the gobshite thats the rest of the game 🤣

[unborn ferry]

Good, we found some agreement

[calm solar]

You literally tried to argue for a good hour that I'm a hater because I criticised HL's inconsistency with Ominis being rich even so I said that it makes very little sense for him to be when in canon, his family had been poor for ages

[unborn ferry]

Or maybe not...

[jovial fulcrum]

Hey I didnt put 80h cause I despise the game

But most of my willingness to put up with the bad was because I love HP / the WW

[unborn ferry]

And I said, I wouldn't mind a slight change, because HP has so many plot holes already

[jovial fulcrum]

You are a hater

[calm solar]

No u

[jovial fulcrum]

Nuh uh, Im an angel, a gem even

[calm solar]

Buggs Bunny where are the catgirls at?

[jovial fulcrum]

I WOULDNT KNOW

[calm solar]

Yes you would

[unborn ferry]

And Ominis is example of very well written character. So that...

[calm solar]

You own the bunker

"Very well written character"

He's not by the merit of video game standards. Passable but God tier writing? Heck no

[jovial fulcrum]

Mind if I ask what other games youve played?

[unborn ferry]

He has depth and good character development for character from HP world.
Ok, enough. I need to sleep. Good night.

[calm solar]

He absolutely does not have depth considering his character is just his backstory and his character development is minimal. He just serves as a reminder that Dark Arts = Bad.

[unborn ferry]

Heh... many. I don't remember everything. But I'm not judging his character according to other games, but to characters from HP world.

[calm solar]

I wouldn't call a character who only serves as a foil to another as a well written character if they only serve one narrative purpose

[jovial fulcrum]

Comparatively to the rest of HL, ominis was written well, sure

But thays because no character has any actual lersonality

Byefi

[calm solar]

Lersonality

[jovial fulcrum]

SHUT UP IM ON MY PHONE

[calm solar]

[jovial fulcrum]

I hope your raid fails

[calm solar]

We doing good

[jovial fulcrum]

No youre not

[calm solar]

[unborn ferry]

My favorite game character is Garrett. But the one from old thief trilogy 🤷🏻‍♀️

Btw...

[jovial fulcrum]

I was born in the year that character was revealed so I have no idea who dat

[calm solar]

But according to him, all HP characters have worse character arcs than HL characters do

[jovial fulcrum]

The MC has such a sick story that I dont even remember it

[calm solar]

HP = Chosen One Power Fantasy 0/10

HL = Chosen One Power Fantasy 10/10

[unborn ferry]

I'm done here. Bye. This is pointless. You misinterprets everything I say 🤦🏻‍♀️

[jovial fulcrum]

Isnt that what you said before 🤣

Goodniiight

[worthy trench]

I mean only if you decide ur MC learns them and uses them. And its a war and they are a target, and its not like the Trace is perfect anyway and I doubt your friends who accompany you like Poppy and Natsai and Seb will rat you out since they are all willing to commit murder to achieve their own goals when it comes to the poachers and curing ann and Ominis is also reluctant to turn Seb in when it comes to him killing his uncle with the AK curse. Ultimately is it a case of the devs just wanting the player to have freedom to play as they wished

[calm solar]

Still though doesn't make it canon compliant or "should be canon" like the other guy was insinuating.

It was a case of saying Harry and Co are just privileged kids with plot armour and Mary Suism but HL MC beats them all in that department

Breaking a few school rules is tame compared to being a 15 year old mass murderer

[worthy trench]

Game was meant to be canon compliant. The devs said its story is not be considered canon but they tried to stay in canon as much as they could without compromising the story they sought to tell and player freedom of playstyle but put canon to side when it came to the UCs so players could just have fun if they wanted to with them

Whether the MC has those curses or not or used em is not gonna have any definite anwer when it comes to HL continuity regardless

Does MC kill their foes, dialogue indicates it yes. But its also self-defense and its a conflict and they are a known target of goblins, poachers and dark wizards/witches. Its not implausible, the teachers of Hogwarts and everyone opposed to Ranrock and co around the Highlands will let their deaths at MCs hands slide due to the circumstances. Its also the 1890s were morals and attitudes were different to the 1990s.

[calm solar]

Fair I'd rather they say that than well accepting it as canon. The UCs are still illegal in 1890 and only made temporarily legal during Voldemort's era iirc

Due to being warring times

[simple lake]

Pretty sure every extra piece of medium in every franchise is said to be cannon at one point then is said to be not cannon when they feel like it not being cannon

[unborn ferry]

You said it nicely. Thank you. 🙏

[modern moth]

Death of the author

[worthy trench]

I mean one can have their head canon but that won't change the official canon.

And the devs have literally said HLs story is not canon

[fringe grove]

Currently listening to The Prisoner of Azkaban and was wondering what your thoughts were. Was Ron justified in his anger against Hermoine involving the assumed death of his rat Scabbers? So far, to me. It’s seems hermoine can’t accept that her cat (assumedly) killed Scabbers. Of course we all know what actually happened and all that but what are your thoughts? Justified? Overreacting? Just a random thought I had lol

[indigo siren]

Honestly, justified. Only pet he had and since his family is so poor, only pet hes gonna get for a while.

[open grove]

justified, a pet that's been around for 12 years is family!
-# even if said pet turns out to be a dark wizard

[indigo holly]

Hey, spoilers!

They just said they're listening to the book

[modern moth]

Done deleted

Over through out harry potter series i don't understand Aunt putinya wether she is silently supporting harry or hating him

[indigo holly]

Wait hold on, @fringe grove is this your first time going through the series?? I'm a bit thrown off by your comment of 'so far', but also 'we all know what really happened'

[modern moth]

She is so confusing

[fringe grove]

Reading/Listening for the first time technically but I’ve seen the movies and I’ve read various stuff outside the books online. Having only recently obtained the books I’ve finally had the chance to read m/listen to them properly

[indigo holly]

Ahh.

[fringe grove]

Currently on the fourth book. So far so good. Lots of changes from the books and movies that I now wish had been in the movies lol

[indigo holly]

LITERALLY

[nocturne smelt]

Peeves my beloved

[open grove]

interesting

[fringe grove]

It’s unfortunate how we didn’t get to see the interaction between the Dursleys and the Weasley when they went to pick him up. would’ve been hilarious

[keen shadow]

I remember when I read the books for the first time. It was during the pandemic and I had to be quarantined in my village house where there was no wifi. My cousin always had the books so I binged them all in one week.

[modern moth]

The books are my favorite thing to read i first read them when i was in 4th grade i wasnt able to stop reading them over and over again since then

[keen shadow]

Sounds like happy memories. I like reading those

[fringe grove]

I wish we had more info on the Wizarding school in the states. Imagine Draco but with just a heavy southern accent

[sage timber]

In my headcanon, there are at least two wizarding schools in the United States.

[fringe grove]

Fair. I know there’s one in like Massachusetts? Which is like a completely random place to me lol.

Also in my head canon, American students learn Avada Kadavra like it’s nothing, which is why we don’t know of any exchange students from the u.s (Malfoy would’ve been gone by the third week)

[indigo holly]

Ilvermorny, on Mount Greylock.

[sage timber]

lollll. Maybe the older students could learn Avada Kedavra. Like how 12-year-olds can't get a gun license.

[worthy trench]

There should be plenty since smallers schools of magic also existed outside the big named ones

There's too many wizards/witches for the big main magic schools to take at once so smaller ones existed of kids were just home schooled

[modern moth]

Elval mory is another school no one knows

[dusty osprey]

I really hope the sequel continues from hogwarts legacy one and it’s not during Harry potters era

[brazen citrus]

me too

[patent lotus]

me too! so much more to know abt the characters we met in hogwarts legacy. so much potential w our character…

[last dock]

I hope I don't have to remake my RoR .... I hope I can carry it forward some how .... I worked so hard

[brazen citrus]

itd be cool if you can carry on your progress if u played the first game

[gritty flax]

I don't think it'll go to harry's era when it comes to making games in a highly successful franchise on big screen film they tend to separate it to make a different story might borderline it but that might just be the extent of it since Legacy takes place roughly 48 years before Tom Riddle attends Hogwarts so some potential to input some secret history about hogwarts there but thats just my opinion

[gritty flax]

they have laid the foundations of a good rpg so far so I hope they stick with a continuation of protaganist and story

[tall cove]

is there any information on how Ominis’ wand works? it’s evident it helps guide him due to his blindness, but how?

[unborn ferry]

I guess it's something like echolocation... using some magical waves 🤷🏻‍♀️
It's not described specifically 🤷🏻‍♀️

[minor fiber]

it’s magic

[unborn ferry]

Anyway... it apparently cannot reveal much details, since he still recognizes people only by their voices 🤷🏻‍♀️
But I guess it allows him to read somehow... some reading spell? Who knows...

[minor fiber]

maybe they make audiobooks of the textbooks for him!

good ol’ audible helping out our friend ominis

[unborn ferry]

Or he has a spell that is turning text into "hand readable" thing... you know, like the books for blind people...

It would be nice detail to see him reading by his hands or with his wand

[minor fiber]

you mean brail?

idk if brail existed in the 1890s

but maybe!

[unborn ferry]

From 1824 wiki says 🤔🫡

He needs to "read" pictures as well... wand work etc.

[sage timber]

Braille is named after its creator, Louis Braille, a Frenchman who lost his sight as a result of a childhood accident. In 1824, at the age of fifteen, he developed the braille code based on the French alphabet as an improvement on night writing. He published his system, which subsequently included musical notation, in 1829. The second revision, published in 1837, was the first binary form of writing developed in the modern era.

[unborn ferry]

Well, the point is still the same... it was developed before 1890 🤦🏻‍♀️

[minor fiber]

ahhh right okay so it did exist

[tall cove]

i think the sorting hat lied to you about being a Ravenclaw

[tall cove]

is his patronus a dolphin

how Ominis knows Sebastian is approaching:

[unborn ferry]

I think his patronus (if he would be able to cast it) would be raven. His name was inspired by poem Raven

Dark art users and Gaunts overall are not able to use patronus. The last Gaunt who tried to cast it was eaten by maggots... but if there is a Gaunt who should be able to cast it, it's definitely Ominis. It would be beautiful moment to witness...

[tall cove]

https://tenor.com/view/what-gif-1177376989323896638

well

that’s.. disturbing

interesting, but disturbing 😭

why can’t Dark Art users cast a patronus? i’m assuming the Gaunts can’t because of their well known, and lengthy, history of being sociopathic Dark Arts practitioners.

[unborn ferry]

Well, it requires pure heart and dark art users are said to not have one. Severus Snape is exception, because of his love for Lilly. If I recall well 🤔

But Ominis is such a pure-hearted being, that it would be really sad for him not to be able to cast patronus.

[minor fiber]

Am I wrong???

[sage timber]

No, you are right. 😌

[unborn ferry]

You? Always 🤣

[minor fiber]

https://tenor.com/view/hp-harry-potter-snape-always-stare-gif-17584635

[minor fiber]

Is that so? In that case, you’re very intelligent and kind. You are also a good human being. You have definitely made your parents proud of you. 😇 ❤️

[unborn ferry]

Ok, that was a good one 😂

[steel badger]

Not strictly true. I’m listening to the Wizarding Archives audiobook right now and JKR said it’s not impossible for a Dark Arts user to create a patronus, just unlikely. Snape was an example, and to a lesser extent Umbridge. She said the reason was that a Dark Arts user would find the patronus to be unnecessary, but that being a Dark Arts user and a patronus caster weren’t mutually exclusive.

[unborn ferry]

Well... isn't it just Rowling trying to fix her plot holes? 😒🫢

You need strong happy memory... not many dark wizards has one

Snape do, Umbridge... well she loves her cats 😅

And there was a dark art user who was eaten by maggots after casting patronus...

[steel badger]

Who says dark arts user don’t have strong happy memories?

As for plot holes, maybe? But these archives are from her notes when writing the books so not likely. But hey, you’re free to think what you will.

[unborn ferry]

they can of course, but it’s rare… why was one eaten by maggots then?

[unborn ferry]

Sorry for that, but as much as I love her writing style I kind of doubt her these days… she keeps ruining her own story 🤦‍♀️
but hey, death eaters really didn’t need to use patronus that’s true, since they had dementors on their side 🤷🏻‍♀️

still it’s rare for dark arts user to use patronus

[unborn ferry]

Draco couldn't cast patronus either...

[steel badger]

Not sure, not familiar with that story. Don’t disagree that it’s rare, just disagree when people say it’s impossible. Draco is irrelevant to the discussion, since like most dark arts users he couldn’t create one. And nothing wrong with JKR.

[unborn ferry]

well, I didn’t say it’s impossible either. Why is Draco irrelevant? I mentioned him, because he is the dark art user, yet wasn’t much happy about it at the end… still couldn’t cast it…

[steel badger]

Sorry, writing on phone so was trying to keep it short. Draco is irrelevant because it’s already been established that dark arts users can rarely cast a patronus. So he’s just one more data point that most can’t. You might as well have mentioned Mulciber or Crabbe. It doesn’t matter how happy he is about it. If Emeric the Evil could cast a patronus then that would be an example worth mentioning as that would be an outlier.

[worthy trench]

Dark wizards/witches can cast patronus. Umbridge is proof

According to legend, one dark wizard got consumed by maggots bursting from his wand when he tried but as its a legend, its accuracy is dubious and regardless Dark magic users can cast patronus' safely

and effectively

[unborn ferry]

But rarely...

As said above... not even Draco can...

[unborn ferry]

Umbridge could learn that before becoming dark wizard

[worthy trench]

Regardless it’s clear a dark witch etc can cast one properly with no consequences

Becoming a dark magic user doesn’t auto prevent one from conjuring patronus

[unborn ferry]

Well, I think we mentioned multiple times before that it's not impossible, just rare 🤷🏻‍♀️

[tall cove]

sooo… what was up with Ailsa Travers and the Lord of The Manor?? encountered them as infamous foes, but Ailsa died just from casting depulso, and the Lord died instantly from ancient magic 😭😭

was there meant to be more to them? it feels like there was.

just says she was close friends with Rookwood

[brisk vale]

That's just how ridiculously easy infamous foes are, you can even one shot them with petrificus totalus which is hilarious

[minor fiber]

there are many ‘infamous foes’ like that and they’re all just normal ashwinders/goblins with a nametag

idk whats the point tbh

[brisk vale]

Basically just enemies with additional lores, which feels unnecessary for some

[agile schooner]

@steel badger your name is based

[steel badger]

Thank you! Check out my profile pic, very appropriate for this group.

[agile schooner]

yeah it's sweet

[modern moth]

So guys what theory going on

[unborn ferry]

🙋‍♀️ I have a theory how Ominis can be rich even though Gaunts before Marvolo are said to be poor...

[dusty osprey]

If hogwarts legacy 2 really is a prequel to Harry Potter ima cry 😭

Hopefully it’s all wrong

I want to visit St.Mungo’s am I alone on this?

[solar latch]

i’m gonna hold your hand while i say this

[solar latch]

no you are not alone i want to aswell

[dusty osprey]

Please no

[solar latch]

i’m sorry

i really am

but….

it is a prequel

[dusty osprey]

Yeah I know right? It gets mentioned a lot but we never see it but that goes for a lot of things to be honest

[dusty osprey]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[solar latch]

yeah it’s a shame really. when i got the game i thought it would be the same timeline as harry potter

[solar latch]

my deepest apologies and condolences go out to you

[dusty osprey]

I mean isn’t it? lol it’s years before the Harry Potter era but same timeline no?

[dusty osprey]

Have they learned nothing :(

[solar latch]

ah you know what i mean

i thought it would be the same year and what not

[dusty osprey]

Oh gotcha

[dusty osprey]

I mean would be neat I guess but it would just be “Your character just so happens to be there when Harry Potter is doing his thing in the movies/books have fun!”

[solar latch]

yeah fair

i do like that the game has a lot of references to harry potter and vice versa

[dusty osprey]

Me too honestly it’s really neat :p

[solar latch]

frrrr

@dusty osprey i was showing my friend how i crushed your soul just now and they said “is that them in their pfp? tell them they’re cute from your random friend”

[dusty osprey]

Awwhh thank you so much haha they’re too kind

Well thank them for me I suppose lol but yeah my soul is a withering venomous tentacula now

[solar latch]

NOT A VENOMOUS TENTACULA

[dusty osprey]

😭 It was the closest thing I can think of when I imagined how my soul must look like

Also they’re pretty strong in game besides the Chinese chomping cabbage :p

[solar latch]

true true

[unborn ferry]

🤦🏻‍♀️ what's wrong with You hufflepuffs?

[modern moth]

Don't even ask them, you will lose your time

[solar latch]

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

[minor fiber]

sounds like you’re jealous that hufflepuffs can have a conversation 🤨

[dapper lark]

Jealous that Hufflepuffs have the power to crush souls.

[dusty osprey]

We get to go to Azkaban it’s all good

The other houses are just jealous

[unborn ferry]

Just that conversations with hufflepuffs are the waste of time... 🤦🏻‍♀️

[minor fiber]

Other Hufflepuffs are cool ok

[minor fiber]

It’s just me who falls into this category

[solar latch]

good

be jealous

[dapper lark]

It’s funny that after I said that Aggie remarked that they get to go to Azkaban as if they were being committed after crushing souls. 🙃

[formal dragon]

wait no is it flipping confirmed

[solar latch]

i don’t know

i think so

[dusty osprey]

We assume so

But hopefully they’re just kidding and they’re like “Haha sorry guys! It’s gonna continue from hogwarts legacy 1”

Maybe it’s a prequel in a sense that like we see some familiar faces? I don’t know

[solar latch]

WAIT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT HOGWARTS LEGACY 2

OH

idk anything abt it

i completely missed the 2

i 100% thought you were originally asking about the first game 😭

[dusty osprey]

Nooooo I was asking for the sequel haha

We’ll see

I’m prepared to be disappointed if it’s a prequel

[sage timber]

As far as I know, we have no reason to think it's a prequel.

[dusty osprey]

True but still

Gotta stay skeptical :p We know nothing yet but yeah

[sage timber]

is a master at being skeptical 😌

[dusty osprey]

We seen nothing of the HBO series too

[sage timber]

is deeply skeptical that the TV series will not suck

[dusty osprey]

I’m with you there

They’re gonna mess this up aren’t they

[sage timber]

It's practically guaranteed.

[solar latch]

ignore everything i said

[dusty osprey]

I mean there’s still a chance!

A very evil chance but a chance nonetheless

[solar latch]

true true

[autumn ocean]

Whatever comes out, it needs to have a conclusion to Sebastian’s story

Or at least an extension on it

[dusty osprey]

Dark Lord Sebastian please

We’re just watching his descent into madness

I’m gonna be all like “Anything you want Sebastian, Let’s go mess up the ministry of magic”

[dapper lark]

Sounds fun. The ministry is too corrupt anyways.

[unborn ferry]

I want more Ominis's storyline... Downfall of the house of Gaunt!

[modern moth]

I agree yeeeees

[autumn ocean]

Absolutely! I have a head canon of a Gaunt Massacre where they all end up murdering one another in search for the Heir of Slytherin that was prophesied from their line. (Ominis seems like the true heir, as he is blind which fits the Basilisk requirement)

In my mind, Ominis could’ve died from a genetic disease because lord knows that his family is messed up in that regard

[unborn ferry]

Or as I said before, he is most likely the last pureblood Gaunt to attend Hogwarts, so is more skilled and smarter than the rest and disagree with the family flaws, so he can simply wash away memories of the last other living Gaunt to remember him (probably Marvolo and his children) and disappear from his Gaunt heritage once and for all.

[autumn ocean]

That’s a neat head canon

I’ve also got another one that Ominis adopted a Muggleborn witch and one night, because he was terrified for her safety, he ended his relations with the family so to speak.

[dusty osprey]

Dark Lord Sebastian though 👀

[autumn ocean]

Nah I’m looking for a Sebastian redemption arc

[dusty osprey]

Auror Sebastian does sound cool

The irony

Killing your family member that was an auror just to become one yourself

Unspeakable Sebastian

Minister of Magic Sebastian

[autumn ocean]

Basically what Solomon did

[autumn ocean]

Hippogriff Farmer Sebastian (my head canon)

[dusty osprey]

My head canon would just be Dark Lord Sebastian

[autumn ocean]

Lol I’ve seen so many Pinterest pins on that

[dusty osprey]

I don’t want peace I want problems always

[autumn ocean]

Noo

[dusty osprey]

I gotta see them

[autumn ocean]

A chaotic Hufflepuff

[dusty osprey]

I’m evil Cedric from cursed child (Bless their heart that it’s non-canon)

[unborn ferry]

hardly doubt that. Anne would absolutely reject him. She doesn’t want to see him now, but still loves him. If he would go any deeper to dark arts, wouldn’t have a logical reason for that anymore. Anne would reject him completely.

[dusty osprey]

This is assuming Sebastian falls so deep into the dark arts he doesn’t care about Anne anymore, I don’t know a hufflepuff can dream 🤷‍♂️ but that’s a very logical answer :D

[autumn ocean]

Exactly.

He really has nothing left to lose- if anything he needs forgiveness and a light in his life.

[unborn ferry]

Like... he didn't care much what she thinks already, so it probably can somehow happen. But it would end in the moment he would face her personally. Anyway I think he is lost case. He would either choose the way to be redeemed or commit suicide at the end. Or do something incredibly reckless again 🤦🏻‍♀️

[autumn ocean]

Let’s hope it doesn’t end in suicide however likely the matter in the game:(

[unborn ferry]

Well... different case would probably be, if Anne dies. Then Sebastian might become absolutely mad....

[untold goblet]

Why do I think that Sebastian might after doing this renouce the dark arts and become an auror and eventually become a defence against the dark arts professor who had once dabbled in the dark arts during his youth but now teaches students how to defend against such dark arts bc he knows how dangerous dark arts are

idk.....just....weird speculation and...perhaps a bit of wishful thinking that sebastian will redeem himself a bit somehow

[worthy trench]

I feel like any game set after HL is not going to delve into Seb's fate to preserve the player's choice in HL whichever they chose

Prob do it like KOTOR2 were one the player can decide what gender the MC was and what events occur in their KOTOR1 run via dialogue choices

and keeping characters who would know what happened either vague or not talking bout it or out of the story altogether

[dapper lark]

I agree, they wouldn’t want to do the work required.

You’ll get one letter about Sebastian either going a trip to find himself or being stuck in Azkaban. 🙃

[dusty osprey]

Awwhhh but it would be cool seeing Sebastian play a bigger role in hogwarts legacy 2

Regardless of the situation- We see his fall into dark arts or his redemption to do better

I don’t know maybe its just me :p

Overarching stories are my jam

[calm solar]

There's also a possibility they'd skip it entirely and we get a game set in the future

[dusty osprey]

That’s fair

Could be as a newer student maybe

And seeing our character cameo in the background or something

[severe grotto]

So, I've been thinking; its said that Ariana Dumbledore was killed in the 3-way duel between her brothers and Grindelwald. Yet we also know she had an obscurus, a dark, magic-suppressed made parasite that eventually kills its host, and that nobody could figure out which spell/curse killed her. So.....who's to say any of them killed her? It could've been her obscurus!

[dusty osprey]

I believe that yeah it’s possible

[worthy trench]

We'll likely never know what happened though AD came to think he did it as he told Newt he did

They never learned as far we know which one actually hit her with their spell and thats if any of them actually did.

AD feared GG knew though

[unborn ferry]

Hmm... who you think would be a head boy and head girl from the characters in hogwarts legacy?

My bet for a head girl would be Imelda 🤔, but a head boy?

[sage timber]

I’m not sure whether each House has a head girl and boy, or if there’s only one pair per year.

[minor fiber]

There’s only 2 in the whole school

2 seventh years from any house

[sage timber]

How u know?

[minor fiber]

im JKR

-# (Just Kidding Rowling)

[minor fiber]

But it just makes sense doesn’t it? I mean no school has 4 school captains

[sage timber]

My schools didn’t have school captains, so shrug

[minor fiber]

Mine does!

Wait lemme google it and see if anything pops up

According to the wiki, one head boy and one head girl were chosen from the entire seventh year

so yeah theres only 2, not per house

[sage timber]

But what is their source for that? I don't recall the books ever specifying...

[minor fiber]

Uhh they’re the wiki they can make stuff up

But i think the books did imply there were only 2

[sage timber]

shrug Oh well. Until we get definitive proof one way or another, I'm gonna headcanon.

[minor fiber]

We know that Percy was head boy in book 3 but no other head girl was mentioned for gryffindor nor a head boy or girl for any other house

[sage timber]

(To be fair, the books didn't care about any other Houses, really.)

[minor fiber]

Sure! I’m gonna head into this cannon over here-

[minor fiber]

(True 😭 )

[unborn ferry]

I'm only two for entire school. Lily and James were at their time...
so back to my question, who you think it would be in Hogwarts legacy?

[dapper lark]

The Mc gets handed everything so they would be one of those. 🙃

[dapper lark]

Prefects were two per house per year so it wouldn’t make sense for the head boy and girl to be per house as they would overlap with 7 year prefect. In order to be special it would need to be two in the whole school.

[unborn ferry]

I honestly think that the MC was meant to be male Ravenclaw...
Ravenclaw is the only one to not have relationship questline and on main pictures of HL the character is a male... (doesn't have a skirt)

So yeah, our MC could be a head boy...

[unborn ferry]

The head boy and head girl are leading prefects. So yeah, it would not make sense to have two in every house.

Anyway... what about head girl?

[sage timber]

MC wasn't "meant" to be any particular House.

And there are plenty of female outfits that don't have skirts.

[unborn ferry]

Ok... if you say so...

Still have not answered my question 🤦🏻‍♀️

Who is the head boy and head girl if not the MC?

[unborn ferry]

The character on main pictures doesn't look feminine to me anyway... 🤦🏻‍♀️

[unborn ferry]

And why there is not Ravenclaw relationship side questline?

[sage timber]

Because Ravenclaw got the shaft in this game. The worst Jackdaw quest, no relationship questline, etc. There really isn't a single thing that Avalanche did for it.

[unborn ferry]

Still haven't answered my first question...

[sage timber]

I don't care about the Head Boy/Girl question. I'm still operating on headcanon for that one.

[unborn ferry]

Anyway... on pictures the MC has ravenclaw colors as well...

[sage timber]

All I've ever seen them in is black robes, usually hooded.

[unborn ferry]

Can I share pictures somewhere here?

[dapper lark]

You’re not gonna convince each other. This discussion will lead nowhere.

[sage timber]

You can DM me. I don't know about in the server.

[unborn ferry]

Just talking about pictures... look at main one on steam page and the one for HL official game guide

[sage timber]

I'd rather not go hunting. shrug

[unborn ferry]

Fine whatever...

[calm solar]

This is correct

There is no default setting for the protagonist from the game's data files

The protagonist was always ambiguous enough to be wherever you wanted them to be

Also why would the protagonist be Head Boy/Head Girl? They've been at school for a total of one schooling semester and had not contributed to much to professors or their fellow peers

Who the heck would vote or nominate them? Even Harry didn't care for it and gave the honours to Ron.

[unborn ferry]

If someone would like to take the story and make series from it, they would have to choose... and as I said the character on main pictures is most likely male in ravenclaw colors. That's all to it.
I honestly would expect to the main be ravenclaw, he is solving lot of puzzles on his own and the final decision he has to make is not about bravery but wisdom...

[calm solar]

They're not going to make a series out of it

[unborn ferry]

At their seventh year... he saved the entire school

[calm solar]

Being tied to the HP IP

The game is not canon

JK Rowling never acknowledged any of the HP games to be part of her canon

She has complete control over the lore itself

[unborn ferry]

Just saying if they would. And I don't care what JK Rowling thinks it's canon...

[calm solar]

That still doesn't matter

They're not going to do it

Because they have neither announced any plans for it

Nor have they gotten the JK Rowling stamp of approval

It doesn't matter if you dislike her

She owns the IP and has the final say

[unborn ferry]

Not denying that. But if she say cursed child is canon lot is ignoring it 🤷🏻‍♀️

But yes no one else can do anything else with the lore, because of author laws... which is a pity... Simce she herself can't do that

[calm solar]

You think she's bad? Tolkien and his son were very protective of Middle Earth where they won't let anyone outside of the Tolkien Estate influence canon.

She's literally not the only author who does this. I'd say she's easier to work with than the Tolkiens were

[unborn ferry]

Yeah, but they didn't ruin their own story by saying things that weren't written and wasn't writing new ones that does respect the previous poorly

[calm solar]

But what remains as factual is that HL is unlikely to ever be considered canon because it doesn't need to be. It can exist outside of it.

It doesn't need a series or adaptation because the plot would never work nor gain traction

It'll crash and burn like the FB movies did

That's why they're rebooting the books instead. Because the books are the biggest moneymakers

KOTOR isn't considered canon by Star Wars lore and I still liked it.

[unborn ferry]

That's exactly it... I've seen lot of lores being ended differently or continued on the new things

[minor fiber]

-# the difference is tolkein actually wrote good stories to be canon

[unborn ferry]

Exactly

[calm solar]

Lmaooo stop making me agree with you

[minor fiber]

What? I’m a nice person!

[calm solar]

We have to like fight for entertainment 👉 👈

[minor fiber]

Grr fine

[calm solar]

But nah seriously

HL was not great lmao

It felt like some self insert isekai fanfic

[minor fiber]

it was far from what it could’ve been

It had potential, it wasn’ too bad, but it could have been a hundred times better

[calm solar]

Unseasoned steak

Is what I'd compare it to

Also the plot introduces plot beats that seriously went nowhere

[unborn ferry]

As I said before, give me good team and I would make fantastic series from that. The potential is there it just fall behind because of rush and customization of the game

[calm solar]

Should've made a Fallout 3 styled timeskip sequence

[calm solar]

I highly doubt it

People keep saying they have so much ideas to "make it great"

But all their ideas fall into Booktok levels of writing

Introduce ideas because "it sounds cool" but never addressing it

Ancient Magic plot was bad

The game tricks you into thinking you have a choice but segues you into picking an option you don't want

It's fundamentally broken

[unborn ferry]

My brother is a writer. And we together study what makes lores become great, what is that the character is so popular etc.

[calm solar]

And?

What does that have to do with making it great?

Just because you think you can achieve it, doesn't mean the audience will

At best they should just abandon the HL timeline and start fresh somewhere else without the Ancient Magic plot line

[unborn ferry]

It's about writing. Meanings and honestly a lot about advertising.

[unborn ferry]

Why? I think the idea is good

It would explain some things even later on

[calm solar]

Sure but you have a lot of misconceptions about intellectual property ownership and copyright laws. WB + JKR are the biggest gatekeepers

It wouldn't

[unborn ferry]

You say

[calm solar]

Part of why the DLC was cancelled is because they likely found that it wasn't worth expanding on

So they either focus on a new installation

And make a good game this time from the ground up

No use salvaging the first game's plot

Better just create something new

[unborn ferry]

If they would focus more on ties to HP itself... as I said, in their 7. year Dumbledore would be first year... again lot of potential 🤷🏻‍♀️

[calm solar]

Eh I doubt adding Dumbledore will fix anything.

That's just fanservice if anything

[unborn ferry]

There can be Triwizard Cup

[calm solar]

There cannot

It contradicts canon

[unborn ferry]

Where?

[calm solar]

Goblet of Fire explicitly mentions that the tournament isn't brought back until 1994

Since it was banned in the 1700s

So a Triwizard Tournament would break canon unless they set the game 100 years into the past

[unborn ferry]

Oh, ok just read it.. 🤔

[unborn ferry]

That would be cool to see another version of triwizard tournament 😁

Or... focusing on discovering more about the first founders. Ominis mentioned his aunt wanted to find out something more about Salazar, because she believed there has to be more to him than that bloodpurity stuff etc. It would be nice to learn more

[unborn ferry]

Also... take Witcher games for example... they are not canon either and were incredibly successful that the author had to fight who was actually first the game or the books

[minor fiber]

That’s a perfect analogy

I think if you kept the combat, the visuals and the broomstick mechanics and changed literally everything else you’d have the perfect game

Better writing, better characters with character development, dialogues that affect the story, choices that affect the story (like whether or not you learnt the unforgivables, chose to seal the magic at the end, etc.), and GAVE RAVENCLAW GOOD CHARACTERS WHO HAVE A BIT MORE PERSONALITY THAN JUST BEING ABLE TO SPEAK “GOBBLEDEGOOK” AND NOT EVEN DOING THAT RIGHT you’d have an amazing game

[unborn ferry]

If you doesn't like the game much, why are you still here? 😅😂

[frozen sand]

I think the main problem I've had with this game were diabolically bad facial expressions and the most unnatural dialogues ever

[minor fiber]

Idk tbh

But I made some friends here so I’m staying to chat with them

[minor fiber]

True

But I suppose it’s the 1800s and people used to be awkward all the time back in the day! Jk

[sage timber]

They hadn’t invented natural-sounding dialogue yet.

[minor fiber]

Exactly

[unborn ferry]

I enjoyed a game a lot. As My friend I was not much interested in HP world before, but playing HL I became quite a fan. It made me cry in some moments, especially during the first flight on hippogryph. And I do love the characters as well. Can be made better yes, but still I love it

My friend was skeptical at first as well.., absolutely got addicted to it

[unborn ferry]

I wouldn't join discord server of a game I didn't enjoyed much at a first place...

[minor fiber]

I enjoyed it once upon a time

In those simpler days, when my imagination was large and my optimism was high…

In the times of old, when I knew not the horrors of the world…

[unborn ferry]

I proud of myself to still be able to enjoy these simple things even after horrors of the world 😊 that's what make people truly happy

[minor fiber]

Indeed… thou art strong in will

[unborn ferry]

Dialogues between Sebastian and Ominis were good 😁

[frozen sand]

Yeah but it still felt forced and cartoony. Naughty dog does characters very well, check out some clips of Nathan and Elena talking, it feels so real...it's how actual people talk to each other

[unborn ferry]

Well... Seb a Ominis are two young boys talking in school... If I recall how our dialogues were at school 😅 omg, better not to remember 😆🤣

Like omg you can't expect deep and meaningful dialogues from 15 years old... though Ominis surprised by what he was saying many times...

[frozen sand]

I never wanted that, but no one talks like characters in HL...It's like watching a really really badly made Anime...there's like 2 different expressions and the lips don't even sync the words half of the time. I'm just saying there's a lot of room for improvement...it's like watching a statue talk. You can have goofy conversations AND make them feel real...the "mean" dialogue options are pathetic too. Get what I'm trying to say?

[calm solar]

I actually agree with you that the dialogue in the game is pretty bad. It's not teenage cringe awkward that reminds one of adolescence, it's just robotic and cartoony encroaching into uncanny territories

Like the characters' faces are very much lacking expression that makes them look lifeless.

Mean options are just being a mild inconvenience despite marketing itself as a choice based game

[frozen sand]

Exactly what I was trying to say. Look at how well Naughty dog did facial expressions and dialogue with later Uncharted games. It feels real and they're talking like everyday people around us

[unborn ferry]

Well, it's a game for 12 years so it obviously would be more cartoony

But don't understand it wrong, I would also prefer better expressions, dialogues etc., but question is, how much the targeted audience really needs it. You can focuses on other things then...

My favorite game now is baldur's gate. But bg3 also has different audience that is targeted to 18+, so it's more complex, more difficult etc.

[unborn ferry]

I honestly think the sooner the developers realize that probably the biggest part of Harry Potter audience are those who grew up with it, the better. People which are now at least 18+. Childern interested in Harry Potter now are the children of these old audience....

[frozen sand]

I mean it's fine to supply younger people with games to play too, but you can make it visually detailed but keep it simple so that a wider community can enjoy it not just 10 year olds that have the attention span of an asthmatic chihuahua

[frozen sand]

Even if I was 12yo there's no way I'd connect or relate to the dialogue. I'd still focus on how whack the facial expressions are hahah...but that's just me i'm a nerd for details...one of the things HL did great was light passing through the window and then bouncing off the polished marble floor and scatter around the rooms/castle...i'm guessing that's global illumination not just lighting sources everywhere so that's great

[unborn ferry]

if I consider fact, that it is a game for 12 years, they did a good job that the elders enjoyed it as well. Sure, could have been much better, but with this audience...
As I said, even a friend (elder nerd) who didn't like Harry Potter much, absolutely fell for HL. So on it's "bad", it's still pretty good game 😁

[frozen sand]

For sure it is...it's fun no doubt but if they ever decide to make another game i'd expect massive improvements

[calm solar]

I've played games for 12 year olds with better writing ngl. The original HP books are for children around that age too but had better dialogue overall. Being a kid's game isn't really an excuse because kids aren't as dumb as you think they are

I would even say children's cartoons from my childhood had better writing in some aspects of the dialogue

HL was just very stilted and awkward like Racer2Go says

[unborn ferry]

first 2 books were a lot cartoony as well…

idk, not sure what exactly you mean. I kind of enjoyed the dialogues

give me an example of a game for 12 years with better dialogues 🤷🏻‍♀️

[calm solar]

First two books were also when Harry was 11 and 12 respectively but there's a higher maturity level the older Harry gets

HL's dialogue options is very bad

The option says one thing but your character says another thing entirely

Game for 12 year olds with better dialogue? Any game with a T-rating in the market right now

Persona 4 has much better dialogue than HogLeg and it had teenage characters

Even the most kiddie FF game like Final Fantasy IX had better dialogue (barring awkward translations of the PSX era)

I think even the overly flowery high fantasy language of Unicorn Overlord did dialogue better and I considered it's plot generic

[unborn ferry]

Persona 4 is 16+....
Also you have to judge it together with other aspects of a game like customization, open world attention to details, combat system etc.
And after all this I still think dialogues in HL are not bad. If you judge that character says different than the option is... maybe. But cutscene dialogues random dialogues between characters during missions are pretty good

[unborn ferry]

And honestly random dialogues between characters like if you can use accio on humans is exactly what I would expect from students on magic school... Something I honestly bit miss in first two HP books at least... (not sure about further books, haven't read them yet...)

[calm solar]

Not in Japan

It's rated Cero B which is 12+

You honestly don't need to judge it with other aspects

Because Persona 4 simply has stronger character writing and plot

It's generic and cheesy to me but cohesive

HL's dialogue is very choppy with regards to choice

You could say something but the game makes you say something else

Which is what the other guy is pointing out

Might as well not give you a choice to begin with if all roads lead to the same conclusion

[marble sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/ichigo-kurosaki-ichigo-bleach-vasto-lorde-cero-gif-25770475

[unborn ferry]

12+ in japan is not the same as 12+ in Europe. I know manga with lot of blood, sexuality etc. And it was for 12/13+ in japan. But Europe would mark it probably 16+ at least.

Persona 4 on steam is 16+

[calm solar]

Europe age rating is irrelevant

What matters is the writing quality

Persona 4 is a game written for a YA demographic (approximately 12+)

And has better dialogue than HL

The fact that matters is the writing

Even still I listed 2 other games that fall into the same age group demographic

And they have much better dialogue than HogLeg

[unborn ferry]

Well, haven't played the games, so idk. FF is irrelevant as well, it's on league of its own.
And honestly, the games (except ff) doesn't interest me. So I don't really care if their writing or dialogues are in some ways better. I would not play it anyway, so it failed completely it's main purpose. People are hating, but lot actually finished the game, so it definitely wasn't bad.

[calm solar]

Then you have no ground to stand on considering you are grasping at straws to defend HogLeg's choppy dialogue

The subject is about writing quality of the dialogue not if you personally want to play it

You can fanboy over HL all you want but all I did was agree with another person that HL's dialogue wasn't good

[unborn ferry]

But despite that I still the dialogue was good 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not always, but was good

[warm halo]

nah the dialogue is pretty bad. they could have done way better with this game

[unborn ferry]

If by "dialogue" you mean the dialogues with options, than yeah. It could have been better if I'm thinking about it. I honestly think, it's not necessary for MC to be voiced in dialogues which you choose. In lot of games MC is not voiced in that moments and it's absolutely ok. Leaving more afford to be done elsewhere - like writing the actual dialogues.

[frozen sand]

I agree, just feels unnatural...and the facial expressions are def not something to be proud of

[grave spruce]

I do wish there were more dialogue choices.

[sage timber]

Don’t we all? 😔

[dusty osprey]

Here’s to hogwarts legacy 2 being heckin massive and expanded upon where the first one lacked

Dark wizard path please with its own plethora of story 🥺

[bronze plover]

hi.

[sage timber]

Hi. :3

[bronze plover]

i heard hogward legacy 2 is gonna live service

given wb publishes it and that their revenu is down 50% you can expect them to want to milk us out of all of the money they can get lol.

is why i don't get my hopes up for it.

[bronze plover]

what's new around here ?

only thing i heard about hogward legacy 2 was that the same studio that made hogward legacy went and put out job posting about needed people for a live service game. so that's pretty telling tbh.

[sage timber]

nmnm.

[bronze plover]

and they said they were working on howard legacy 2 as a game too. so i think we only need to connect the dots to figure it out lol

[sage timber]

-# Howard Legacy

[bronze plover]

WB need quick cash really fast for their investor. so, hogward legacy is clear choice about wanting to make a cheap game with big income. which likely means less quality for a higher price and tons of microtransaction that are heavily priced toward people with tons of money.

i don't expect it to be a good game tbh.

but we'll see.

bro

stop

[thorn nest]

Hey guys, I’m new here
So I found something quite interesting in the game about the Gaunt House.
I was in the tower of defence against dark arts when I heard Ominis mentioning he has a little sister in first year. I checked online and I saw NOTHING about it- did I just found something new all by myself?

(its in the french version)

[simple egret]

French version = best version .(I'm American, but very much a Francophile).

[thorn nest]

Ikr!

[sage timber]

That's probably just random NPC dialogue, tbh.

Fun fact, tho: I've heard Archie's mother Johanna mention him having a sister.

[thorn nest]

Maybe yeah but she’s a npc on the side, I’m talking about a quite important character (which is Ominis)

But I’ll keep that in mind thank you

(Also Ominis says that he casts a spell on his sister when she’s ignoring him on purpose)

[sage timber]

Yes, that's random NPC dialogue, and the one I thought you were probably talking about.

[thorn nest]

:( sad

[sage timber]

nodnod

Not to say that it's impossible for Ominis to have a younger sister, I think....except you'd think she'd be mentioned at some point. shrug

We know he has at least two older siblings.

[thorn nest]

Yeahh possibly (people are saying it could be Marvalo?!?)

[sage timber]

Yes, that's my headcanon as well---that Marvolo is Ominis' eldest brother.

I've always thought of Ominis as the baby of the family.

[thorn nest]

Yeah!

[eternal kestrel]

Hello, do you speak french ?

[thorn nest]

Yeah I speak French

[eternal kestrel]

Ohh cool

Moi aussi

[thorn nest]

Oh hahaha😭 c’est cool ça

[eternal kestrel]

Tu es la première personne que je rencontre qui parle français

[thorn nest]

Mais ouais, j’pensais avoir découvrir quelque chose en français que le jeu englais a pas :(

[eternal kestrel]

Du coup c'est quoi ta langue natale ?

[thorn nest]

Parfois les 2 versions peuvent être différentes
Mais bon, Ça vallais la peine d’essayer

[eternal kestrel]

Oui

[thorn nest]

Francais, j’viens du Québec

[eternal kestrel]

Ahh super

[eternal kestrel]

Je ne suis jamais tombé sur cette discution

[thorn nest]

Je crois que je suis la seule à être obsédé par Ominis et Sebastian que je suis restée à côté d’eux dans la tour des défenses contre les forces du mal puis Ominis à commencé à discuter avec Leander Prewett

[eternal kestrel]

Ahh 🤣🤣

[thorn nest]

Ouais

[eternal kestrel]

Tkt moi aussi mais pas à ce point

Pauvre de leurs sœurs

[thorn nest]

(apparament c’est une discussion de PNJ, donc Ominis est pas supposé dire ça ? Comme j’ai dis dans mon message, c’est mentionné nul part en ligne.. donc ouais-)

Faudrait limite demander au développeurs pour avoir une vraie réponse

[eternal kestrel]

En fait je crois que les développeurs mettent des discours comme ça si jamais un joueur décide de suivre un PNJ

[sage timber]

Yes, Ominis as a character is not supposed to say that. It's something about his voice actor also doing dialogue for NPCs, or something like that...

@indigo holly Can you explain better?

[thorn nest]

The name 😭🙏

[minor fiber]

all of our names are perfectly normal wdym

[indigo holly]

I don't speak French.

[sage timber]

Neither do I; I used Google Translate. But essentially, Luna overheard Ominis talking to Leander, and saying the NPC line about how he has a little sister who's just started at Hogwarts, and every time she purposely ignores him, he casts the Trip Jinx on her or something of that sort. And I don't remember exactly why Ominis sometimes says those kinds of things.

[indigo holly]

Yeah, that's just ambient dialogue done by the same VA. You can tell that it's not Ominis because the accent is wrong and the voice a bit lower, but someone who doesn't speak English fluently may not pick up on that

[sage timber]

@thorn nest

[indigo holly]

Keep playing and you'll learn which ambient dialogue lines actually belong to him by which ones are only ever said by him and no one else. It's basically the ones where he's speaking to you directly; about the troll in Hogsmeade, or about y'all and Sebastian's misadventures

[thorn nest]

Oh thanks

Let me read all that

[thorn nest]

Ohh thankksss
(in French tho, it does sound like Ominis- unlike in English like you just said)

Im sad i didnt record it

[indigo holly]

Ahh.

[thorn nest]

But thank you for the info

[indigo holly]

No prob 👍

[rugged spire]

What is the American verson of auras called

[sage timber]

Think they're just called Aurors. idk, tho. JKR isn't so hot on the non-British worldbuilding.

[rugged spire]

Okay thanks

[rugged spire]

Why are the common room entrances secret.

Hogwarts house

[sage timber]

Because if they weren't, it wouldn't feel like belonging to an exclusive club. 😌

[stark swan]

Still Auror. Tina Goldstein becomes Head of Auror the Office for Macusa

[rugged spire]

Why did dumbador let tom riddle in

In hogwarts

[worthy trench]

Cos he has magic and is a UK citizen and Hogwarts takes in UK citizens as students and Dumbledore has no authority to not permit to go. He was a teacher, not Headmaster and its also not in his nature to refuse prospective students.

He believed in change and 2nd chances and wanted to give TR that chance to do so.

It didn't pan out in the end. He admits he wishes he had done more back then to try and deal with TRs issues but the reality is TR was who he was by then and odds are no amount of intervention could have steered him to being a better person.

[rugged spire]

He failed

[worthy trench]

He wasn't TRs guardian nor was going to give him special treatment or anything.

Especially in those time periods were people just thought differently compared to now bout how to handle kids or teen with serious issues

[rugged spire]

Lv waz created

[worthy trench]

That was TRs choices

Not ADs fault.

AD is not responsible for what TR became

Only TR himself

[minor fiber]

Hogwarts doesn’t take in just UK citizens, anyone can join if they want to from anywhere in the world

[worthy trench]

Yah but they have to make arrangements for that. Their book only shows the names of magical people from Ireland and UK. Magic schools take on their own region’s students generally

[minor fiber]

yeah but you can go to other schools

In the 4th book or something draco says that his father wanted him to go to durmstrang but narcissa said it was too far

[rugged spire]

Is molly a pureblood ?

[sage timber]

Yes.

[rugged spire]

[rugged spire]

Hi

[modern moth]

R u guys talking about molly Weasley

And her family background

[sage timber]

We were, yeah.

[modern moth]

Is she not only pure blood but from a family full of powerful wizards

[indigo holly]

She's from one of the 'Sacred Twenty-Eight'

[modern moth]

Now i see how she defeated belatrix

[indigo holly]

But that has nothing to do with it

[modern moth]

I mean normal wizards will have very tuff time

Not going off topic saying

[indigo holly]

Her bloodline has nothing to do with how strong of a witch she is.

[modern moth]

Ok 👌

[indigo holly]

That was a point that was driven home multiple times in the books.

About why the superiority complex of blood purists and the discrimination against Muggle-borns was complete nonsense.

Hermione was literally the most brilliant student at Hogwarts during her time.

[modern moth]

The malfoys

[indigo holly]

You're still not giving me any actual evidence

[modern moth]

Malfoys used to hate mud bloods

[indigo holly]

Yes??? And it was stupid and wrong?????

What's your point

[modern moth]

My point is it doesn't make any difference between pure blood and mud bloods Hermione itself is a proof and the fact magonical itself gave the Hogwarts letter to her family is a Big thing which shows she is in league of her own

[indigo holly]

Yes, that's the point I'm trying to make, so why did you say 'now I see how [Molly] defeated Bellatrix' when I confirmed that she was a pureblood?????

Also stop saying Mudblood

[modern moth]

Nah a video confused me saying it because of her blood line

[modern moth]

Ok 👌

[indigo holly]

Then whoever made that video is a moron

[modern moth]

Is The potters pure blood

[indigo holly]

Yes, up to James

[modern moth]

Ah yes now I remember many of the potters where successful in making potions and from that other potions created

[modern moth]

Tru some Just add unnecessary contents to make it up and not going according to lore

[minor fiber]

not bc they were pure blood though, because they were good wizards

ikr? I always get hyped when I get to that part of the game.

I think its the same theme as Test Drive from How to Train your Dragon. Very similar anyway

[sage timber]

It's not the same, but it's similar.

Yeah. Different key i think

[lucid dune]

OMG I Was today years onld when I realised that is hogwarts legacy was before the events of harry potter that means.......... Profeser Black is related to Sirius Black? Or is it just me who relised that lol

[sage timber]

Yes, it's his great-great grandfather.

[lucid dune]

Google: Professor Phineas Nigellus Black was born in 1847. He was a pure-blood wizard and a member of the House of Black, Also Google: Sirius Black III was born on 3 November 1959, in the London borough of Islington, England, to Orion Black and Walburga Black, (Lol!)

Are we talking about Daedalian Key's? LOL

[lucid dune]

Oh well I tried

[lucid dune]

Can someone pls send a screen shot of the letters poppy sweeting send's MC pls!

[sage timber]

Poppy didn't send that last one.

[vague crypt]

who’s Smithey?

[sage timber]

Presumably the dead poacher next to the letter.

[lucid dune]

no that's Angus

[sage timber]

No, Angus is the person writing the letter to Smithey.

Angus is in Borneo.

[lucid dune]

I thought it was the other way around

[sage timber]

Nope.

Angus and Violet are Poppy's parents. c:

[lucid dune]

I know that

[sage timber]

Okay, jms.

[stark swan]

I think its the only note pertaining to Poppy. Probably didn't need to add it 🤷‍♂️

[lucid dune]

no your good thank you for sending them lol

[safe pollen]

I think she's looking at the knight because he whistled at her then coughed to cover it up

[agile schooner]

Very Tom & Jerry like

[safe pollen]

Yes. Very much so

[steel marlin]

Math doooorrrr

[safe pollen]

Math? I'm not good at math. 😭

[faint jasper]

It'll be a purple force one

[uneven prairie]

^^ depulso! I knew it was somethin’ with movement but my mind reallly said “are u sure?”

[gaunt wagon]

Skill issue

[faint jasper]

Lol bit late there buddy :p

[shell sedge]

Doing some research on wandlore and figured out that protagonist would atleast canonically be most likely to have been chosen by an Oak Wood Wand. It's dependable, durable, and powerful in every magical discipline. Favors loyalty, integrity, and persistence. Capable of great magical depth in elemental and protective magic. It tends to be attuned nature, magical creatures, and ANCIENT MAGIC.

[sage timber]

My MC is English Oak. 😌

[shell sedge]

I'm talking most likely wand that fits the story, not you.

[minor fiber]

YOUR MC IS A TREE?!?!

[sage timber]

She's not me.

[dense ice]

Many of you will disagree but Ranrok should have at least some reason to turn evil and destroy the wizarding world besides just the humans treating goblins like slaves. I wish we somehow heard from him before we accidentally drained his soul when killing his dragon form.

I say accidentally, because he needed to be stopped, but not explicitly to be killed, no villain deserves death, but cruel punishment

There are perhaps so many times where the opportunity is given but plot armor says that you shouldnt kill a villain, but stop their doings

But I feel like something has snapped from Ranrok that made him became a serial killer

[lapis cave]

Could be

[dense ice]

And before you say it ik there are times where wizards were treating goblins horribly, but there had to be a deeper reason

[lapis cave]

U might be spot on but whatever the reason it was, it wasn't clear

[dense ice]

Its either i might have missed a tiny detail or its meant to be cryptic

regardless while ranrok was a murderer its too bad we didnt hear his last words

A book about Ranrok and his goblin origins would be fire ngl, understanding more about his brothers and himself

…only if i can read that is💀

[lapis cave]

Hopefully u read lol, something I noticed even killing ||ranrok the story doesn't end there||

Dang that might as spoiler ig

[dense ice]

if ur in a spoiler channel, expect spoilers

duh

Ofc I say that as ||Rookwood deserved to die but my rebutal is that your protagonist had to defend himself from Rookwood but ended up killing him with ancient magic. Fr expected him to be tired out and sent to azkaban but death is wild||

Hey, not saying death aint cool but its undeserved for many

[shell sedge]

The only two who didn't deserve to face consequences were Ominus and Anne. Everyone else kept pushing to be involved despite knowing the dangers.

[sonic saddle]

Well, I guess there was a little bit of lore-building Ranrok had of that story Lodgok told us. The story kind of goes (from what I remember) is there was a camp of wizards doing.. smth I don't exactly remember, and Ranrok(in his youth/younger days) was mesmerized. He watched them and wanted to join them but didn't have the courage too. One day, when he built up the courage to try and talk to them(or was just a spur of a moment, I'm not sure), a wizard had dropped their wand. He picked it up and went to give it back to them, but the wizards saw the goblin with a wand in their hand and freaked out. They nearly beat him to death, and ever since Ranroks held a hatred for wizard-folk.

So idk, I guess that would be his whole reasoning/motive

[dense ice]

Yeah, I do hear that wizards and goblins are a hate relationship, but for him to crumble wizard world, even with all the goblins in it, something else must’ve happened

[sonic saddle]

here's the whole story

[sonic saddle]

He wasn't exactly trying to crumble the wizarding world, just the wizards. His whole motivation was to make the goblins the superior or dominant race, not dismiss magic at all or anything. He only sought out the ancient magic to fuel him and his other goblins in their pursuit and only failed because of the MC and Professor Fig stopping/killing him. If the MC and Professor Fig never stopped him, he probably would've collapsed Hogwarts/whatever (but he wouldn't care since it was a school for wizards) and made a war against wizard-kind to be the ruling race. Kind of like the first rebellion of the Hunger Games and if the people won but turned as evil as the Capitol did I would assume

[dense ice]

He did had several brothers as well, did something happen to them that invoked ranrok?

Because if anything having your family been wreaked by wizards is every right to be villainized

[sonic saddle]

Uh, I'm not sure. I think maybe just his own experience and the goblin-human history was his whole motivation. Instead of his family being wronged, I feel like it was his whole race being wronged.

[dense ice]

Ignoring Lodgok, since he betrayed him (in a good way)

[sonic saddle]

Humans/Wizards and Goblins always fought and disagreed, with Humans/Wizards looking down on Goblins and having Goblin artifacts(like the whole first quest with Lodgok) and Goblins disagreeing against Human/Wizard customs and having feuds about stuff like ownership

The goblins felt oppressed/not treated right and Wizard-kind believed themselves in the right/above Goblins. Sure, a whole rebellion and enslaving/killing Wizardkind over it seems to be the wrong way to go about it instead of fighting for equal rights/etc, I feel it's still enough reason for why Ranrok felt so strongly.

[worthy trench]

I picked either Elder or English Oak and Dragon Heartstring for my MC wand

[dense ice]

Pretty sure just wizards.
Other humans or mongols arent seen by goblins

wizards/witches

[sonic saddle]

It's kind of (not exactly but kind of similar feeling) like Slaves/Black People vs. White People in around the 1800's. At least, the closest analogy I can get from it. Obviously it's not the same situation, but how Goblins vs. Wizardkind fight/reasoning is from oppression/denied rights is the similar part.

[dense ice]

well yes and no. The only true slaves are the elves

goblins arent being labored to anything just plain mistreated interactions

wizards dont even trust goblins to do labor

[sonic saddle]

Fair enough, it's only an analogy. But it's still the races head butting against each other.

[sonic saddle]

well besides from gringotts

[dense ice]

pretty sure gringotts are run by goblins who have more faith in wizardkind

they run the place

i remember a banker got killed because he wasnt part of ranrok’s forces

he refused to join him

[sonic saddle]

Well, it's also Wizardkind trusting the goblins to be safe/respectable with their money just as citizens trust banks to be safe/respectable with their money.

If Wizarding didn't trust the goblins to do the labor of banking then gringotts wouldn't be functional

[dense ice]

I say that as they help the wizards with the locket vault anyway

[worthy trench]

Ultimately wizards refuse to give Goblins wands and teach them wandlore and Goblins in turn won't teach wizards their own magic

[sonic saddle]

That is also true

[dense ice]

probably because they evolved to become used to not using wands

or born without such logic

ranrok is a old goblin, he knows it better

[sonic saddle]

Well wands is also not the only way for Wizards to express and have magic, like shown in other parts in the world from Natty.

[dense ice]

even if ranrok tells them that but some newer goblins would think its just a hoax because it sounds nothing like they do

[worthy trench]

Wizards in europe and USA are just used to wands, that they struggle to adapt to wandless magic. Meanwhile in other countries like Africa, wandless magic is dominant over there and they have no issue with it

[dense ice]

elves too, wandless magic. Powerful ones too

[worthy trench]

Its just wizards back in the day, trying to maintain superiority by only allowing themsleves wands

cos they got so use to them and they allowed them focus their magic spells better

[sonic saddle]

I feel as such wands were introduced later as a means to 'hone magic' from wielding it rather than having magic as a default. So it's more of a tool, almost like a crutch for walking. The reasoning for the wizards struggling to do magic without wands is like walking without a crutch anymore. At least, that's how I view it.

[worthy trench]

they would be at a disadvantage if they gave other species wands

[sonic saddle]

that's true as well

[sonic saddle]

Definitely a reasoning behind not letting Goblins have wands

[worthy trench]

Wizards in euroope basically have conditioned themselves to think they need wands to do magic effectively so they tend to not train in wandless magic as much

[dense ice]

Hmm, yeah, especially elves.

Goblins were never born with magic, but admit one thing, they are most excellent at manufacturing

but it seems the lore of goblins is a little off compared to hp, when they are young, they are einstiens, but get much stupider as they get older

But it seems in the HP universe, they are smarter regardless

that kind of confused me

[sonic saddle]

That's also true, the HL universe vs. The HP universe has differing views on goblin and makes this reasoning a lot harder lol

[dense ice]

Yeah HL goblins are sub geniuses. they educate themselves insanely quick and build massive contraptions for heavy work

[worthy trench]

Goblines do have magic though. Innate magic

[dense ice]

I say quick because they learned about ancient magic before humans did in the game

[sonic saddle]

Well ancient magic was always known, it just wasn't wielded anymore by wizards

[dense ice]

i meant learned again after the keepers

quickly understood the repositories and the keepers

no doubt

[sonic saddle]

Like Professor Figs wife couldn't wield it, but she knew about it. She didn't know anything about the keepers or whatever or Professor Fig would've known

[dense ice]

even proffessor fig was surprised

[sonic saddle]

Well that's true, but they also had much less cryptic information from a goblins own perspective in a journal

[dense ice]

oh yeah from ranroks past brothers

[sonic saddle]

Goblins got it straight up, while the wizards were trying to pick up a crumb trail (of the keepers and repositories)

[dense ice]

pretty much because isadora needed goblin silver

[sonic saddle]

Yes, so I'm just saying while the goblins are smart, it doesn't prove that they are quicker to process/learn it than wizards

[dense ice]

talking about the wands previously

Pretty sure it was a european adaptation to cast a plethora of spells

Since wand movement can make thousands of patterns

[sonic saddle]

[dense ice]

Unlike using your arms

wands are essential for quick defense and tool

wandless magic is harder to do but stronger

[sonic saddle]

Hmm yes

[dense ice]

i wouldnt say a “tool” but powerful weapon inside of you

you noticed that wand to wand battles are a win or lose on each side

wand to wandless magic is not even a competition

wandless outmatches the beams of said wand

because your two arms are “two wands”

[shell sedge]

@dense ice Thing is, we don't know how long Ranrok took piecing together what was in the repositories. He also probably kept a lot of information to himself, even from Lodgok. He only seems to have described it to them as wizard magic they were trying to keep to themselves, knowing that alone would piss goblins off and make them follow him to claim it.

[raven crane]

Wait so does that mean the only "Wandless Magic" we know is protego???

That lasts maybe 5 - 10 secs

[shell sedge]

I think the only spells shown wandless is Accio by Fig and Depulso by Ronan when he pushes the balls into position when he first introduces Summoners court

[dense ice]

perhaps dodging is wandless magic too 😱

[minor fiber]

no, only your dominant hand is your “wand”

idk what happens if you’re ambidextrous though

[fringe grove]

Was Dumbledore the most powerful wizard at the time or was he the most powerful wizard ever?
I had always assumed the former. And Merlin being considered the more powerful/greatest wizard of all time.

[lucid coral]

he was probably the most powerful wizard during the HP series

[unborn ferry]

I personally think it was at the time. Not overall.

[worthy trench]

I mean he's considered the most powerful wizard of his time at any rate and he backed it up by defeating Elder Wand-wielding GG, who Albus considered his equal and LV was on the backfoot for nearly his only known duel with a much older past his prime Albus granted Albus had the EW at the time to compensate.

How he'd fare against Merlin or a Hogwarts Founder or any other extremely powerful wizard/witch of an older era is impossible to say. Both have advantages and disadvantages in such scenarios.

Albus has more modern magic spells and updated magical knowledge to draw from and potentially the Elder Wand. Merlin and Founders etc potentially have Ancient Magic and spells lost to history to use.

[latent forum]

Rewatching Fantastic Beasts, and I know I've googled this before, but how come Harry wasn't an Obscurial? I read someone saying that Harry didn't know he was a wizard, and therefore didn't conciously supress his magic, but Credence didn't know he was a wizard either. He just knew he had wizard ancestry, but he knew nothing about the wizarding world.
I think the most plausible explanation is that Harry's treatment at the Dursleys simply wasn't harsh enough for him to develop an Obscurus.

[sage basalt]

Well he did get his letter when he turned 11 and then went to hogwarts just like the others. I don't think an obscurus can develop that early as most young wizards and witches don't have magic until they turn 11 or so

And I don't think Harry really suppressed his magic. He just wasn't aware of it or just didn't possess magic until he set that snake free at the zoo

[sage timber]

Wrong. Most witches and wizards have magic by the age of 7.

[sage timber]

Wrong. He did magic before that.

[sage basalt]

Idk where i read 11, that must just be me confusing the age you get magic and receiving the letter

[sage basalt]

Interesting, I didn't read the books so I just referenced some videos or stuff i read online awhile back

Looks like I'll need to get the entire collection 😬💀

[sage timber]

Ah. That makes sense.

[sage timber]

Yassss!

[sage basalt]

😆😆

[sage timber]

That’s the age you receive the letter to Hogwarts, yes.

[sage basalt]

Gonna need to get myself a wee bookshelf for this

One small part for the actual books and the rest of the space...

trinkets

[sage timber]

🥹

[sage basalt]

Or maybe actual books. Might be a good idea

[sage timber]

Are you implying the HP books aren’t actual books, [Ma’am/Sir]?! 😤

[sage basalt]

No! I meant that the HP books shall be the centre of my collection and that i should probably buy more books and read more HAHA

[latent forum]

Obscurial die before they reach 10 years old, so they definitely develop very early on

[sage basalt]

Yep, eggs corrected me on that one

[lucid coral]

not always 👀

[latent forum]

Not always indeed!

[analog thicket]

Is anybody like me and can talk about the Gaunts for hours on end?

[sage timber]

I would love to listen to you talk about the Gaunts for hours on end. 😌

[indigo holly]

I have been summoned

[lucid coral]

i would like to subscribe to the TED talk

[vague crypt]

I'll listen to someone talk about the Gaunts for hours

[analog thicket]

My people!!!

I hope in the TV show it will show anything linking the Chamber of Secrets to the Gaunts. Corvinus Gaunt hid the Chamber when he was just a student, surely he could have wrote something secretly hidden near the opening or any other Gaunt anything in the chamber itself

[unborn ferry]

hardly doubt so. People want it to strictly follow the books… (Which is failing already..)

[analog thicket]

Lady Voldermort... have you seen her? I'm really hoping it's not true

[unborn ferry]

Yeah I've seen that 😂

But honestly, if it comes only for Voldemort version without nose, that "destructed one", it actually doesn't bother me that much he would be played by woman. He is inhuman anyway and the fact he will be played by woman can make him feel even more inhuman. His human version would obviously be man imo.

[worthy trench]

Why would he? The Gaunts would just reveal the info to their members prior to going to Hogwarts and in private. Not leave a record of it in a school were it could be potentially discovered

[worthy trench]

Tilda Swinton could pull it off I think

I think they'd have LV cast already given they are filming

[unborn ferry]

Omg! This one?! Yeah she definitely CAN pull it off 🥰 I honestly now want to see how she will do, amazing actress and I definitely can imagine her as inhuman version of Voldemort

[untold ermine]

ved

[worthy trench]

She just has to look with shaved head and she would have the voice.

LV is described as having a high cold voice

and she can pull that off

Like if they are gonna go for a female actress as main LV then i nominate her

[dusty osprey]

They should let people make their own hogwarts legacy spin off show/movie or something and if it’s good make it canon

[neat geyser]

Guys

I just watched fantastic beasts

I wish there was a game for it

It's so cool like with the beasts and stuff

And the obulisc

Is there a game??

[quasi marlin]

I wish the same mate, it would’ve been amazing

[worthy trench]

I still wonder how HL 2 is gonna tie into the show if that is still gonna happen

Unless its cases were the show adds in stuff that was not seen in the books

but could have still have happened

I also wonder if new stuff will be considered canon

like say the details from Albus meeting Nicohlas and his wife in the show

[covert hazel]

Was scrolling through reddit and came across something id like some clarification if its true or not but there was discussion that if a curse is cast then the death of the caster would cancel the curse...was wondering if this true or not 🙂

[worthy trench]

No not the case

[tawdry sedge]

Still waiting for HL3

[lapis cave]

HL3?

Confirmed by who? I still can’t find much information about the HL2

[worthy trench]

no one

[brazen citrus]

just you wait until you hear about the recent HL4 leaks

[lapis cave]

Are you having a laugh?

Where do you gather this information guys

[sage timber]

You're still on about HL4? HL5 is gonna blow that one out of the water.

[dusty osprey]

Let’s just hope by tie ins with the show it’s just Easter eggs and nothing more

So help me god lol

Leave Hogwarts Legacy 2 alone 🤧

Yo, haiku?

[pearl niche]

where i can find a troll?

need a item from a troll to do quest for descendo spell

[lapis cave]

Oh || professor Onai's assessment. You can find trolls in northern Feldcroft or the Coastal Cavern regions. There are few more places but these are easy to reach||. Good luck

|| you can also purchase from J. Pippin's Potions in northwest Hogsmeade. I think for this assessment you need to defeat||

[open mango]

Yeah and another one tends to respawn in Horklump Hollow where you can farm juice for Wiggenwelds, was useful early to mid game (than I got overflowed anyway xd but still helped)

[pearl niche]

hello everybody

[sage timber]

Hello. :3

[lucid coral]

troublemaker

[indigo holly]

@modern moth And I say again, that is rumour and superstition.

[modern moth]

No it's literally not

It IS a fact

[indigo holly]

Source? Because Ollivander has literally said otherwise.

[worthy trench]

what are ya on about?

[indigo holly]

The conversation is over, can you please not start it back up

[worthy trench]

Ok.... I don;'t even know what it was bout but ok

[worthy trench]

So question - its said in HP lore, hogsmeade is the only all-wizard village in Britain

but in HL we have several villages in the Highlands which appear to be all-wizard villages

with no muggles in them

does the game explain this or is it just going with hogsmeade only wizard village in britain in HPs era

[mortal gyro]

Perhaps they're counting the other groupings of wizard-filled houses to not be "Village" status, since they're so small. Hamlets? It sounds like the kind of technicality a "village" might endorse, since it makes them seem more special! {Grin}

[worthy trench]

ya maybe

[dark matrix]

How many people knew that Voldemort used be known as Tom Riddle?

[worthy trench]

Not many until after the 2nd wizarding war but it’s easy to figure out if ya knew his original full name and rearranged the letters as he literally spells out

[modern moth]

ts kinda off but can avada kedavra be different colors like some can be greener then others

like in oop voldemorts cast was bluer then the one in gof where it was green

[dusty osprey]

Hogwarts Legacy 2 though 👀 Please don’t put it in Harry Potter’s Era

[worthy trench]

Canonically its a green jet

Movies have it range from being a flashing green effect - HP1 flashback to as you say in GOF and OOP - green jet and blueish jet

[frosty needle]

yeahh i would love an actual sequel to HL

[maiden edge]

I find it very curious that

The headmaster is from the Black family; there was a teacher who is part of the Weasley family.

And the excuse given for not implementing quidditch was that there was an injury XD

[lapis cave]

Our beloved headmaster was just worried about students safety. I mean the injury is not looking good🥹

[willow sage]

Fr

At least they though about that

[night pier]

I actually never read the field guide page's i was too driven to do my quests even tho i am interested in the lore

[modern moth]

Probably during tom riddle Era mostly

[indigo holly]

I'm hoping it's our sixth year

[modern moth]

Who's the next headmaster after black

[modern moth]

It would be good to play as isadora to find out more truths about her and y she turned into like this

Because I would like to know how did she learn to harness power from negative emotions

@indigo holly sixth year don't make sense we defeated rangok and rok wood what else needed only we can roam

[indigo holly]

They could come up with another story?????

That's like asking why there was a second Harry Potter book when Harry already found the Philosopher's Stone

[modern moth]

How about omnious back story

That would be interesting

What happened to him y he fears his family so much

[indigo holly]

Because they're pureblood supremacists and Dark Arts enthusiasts????? That was pretty clear in the game

[modern moth]

Isodora back story

Because We only got very little information about it

From pensive

@indigo holly

[indigo holly]

Okay??

[modern moth]

Like we play as isadora

Role

[indigo holly]

What do you want from me

[modern moth]

Just a theory saying

[indigo holly]

You're just saying an idea, it doesn't really require a response from me

[modern moth]

Want your opinion

That's why asked

[indigo holly]

I mean yeah it would be interesting to learn more about Isidora and why her portrait was destroyed, and what the connection is between her and the Gaunts since they knew about the Undercroft but she clearly built it

[modern moth]

Wait she had connection with gaunts when did I Miss that

Dam I missed it while playing

[indigo holly]

Ominis knew about the Undercroft and learned about it from someone in his family, but Isidora's triptych was in there

[modern moth]

Isadora is is the first person to use emotions as source of power no one else could offcourse rangok but he needs the hand armors to contain it

And we still have tom riddle Era, Harry Potter ancestors erra

[dusty osprey]

You act like there’s not a whole world of dark wizards and witches though before there was Voldemort there was grindelwald so I mean the next big bad has to pop out of somewhere my money is on Sebastian as dark lord :D

We would need a time skip though I’m not sure what the plot would be I just want to play hogwarts legacy 2

Without Harry Potter in it leave him alone

[modern moth]

Isadora back story is good how she became obsessed with this magic fuled by negative emotions

[unborn ferry]

Sebastian becoming next dark lord would be flee as great clishé.
First, he is not much smart and doesn't understand consequences of his actions, which is pretty unsuitable for dark lord. Voldemort and Grindewald were both not only powerful, but charismatic and tactical. Sebastian has charisma, nothing about it, but is not much tactical. He himself is pretty stupid, he just nicely manipulates others to do/help him to get the things done.

Second, it doesn't suit his reasons. He did everything to help Anne... Now she doesn't want to even see him. How would becoming dark lord help?

Third. I wouldn't be focused on Sebastian's story that much anymore. There is much greater potential to explore thanks to the characters we already have. Potential to explore more about characters connected to Harry Potter, Voldemort etc. themselves.

[cedar plank]

Awwwr naaawwwrrr!

[sterile plank]

<@&755190193367023772>

[vital frost]

thanks!

[prisma wedge]

The story of the next game could easily focus around the repository, which the protagonist is now the sole keeper of. Either we might have to protect it(light), or use it (dark). Thats what "Hogwarts legacy" refers to, after all. As Rackham directly stated: "We leave Hogwarts legacy to you."

And since thats what the legacy is, the game wouldn't even have to take place in Hogwarts.

Let us finish our N.E.W.Ts and become an auror. Then we would have to make choices during our duties whether to do what Isidora dreamed: 'heal' the world. Use the forbidden magic, or not.

Or perhaps, have the second game be about Auror training. Its said to be really hard, but afaik its not been described in detail anywhere.

[unborn ferry]

hey, how does love potion actually works in HP? Is it you fell in love with the first person you see, or the one give some hair into it or what?

[indigo holly]

It's like Polyjuice, you need to supply hair (or other material) belonging to the person that you want the drinker to 'fall in love' with

[lapis cave]

Love potions are uncomfortable like the imperius curse and
does much the same to the victim as a love potion by removing a person's will.

[indigo holly]

Indeed.

[thorn dune]

I defeated acromantula for the first time today

and then one more

I have a huge arachnophobia and i was so sure that I won't make that side quest

but I decided to face and defeat my fear

[worthy trench]

good goin

i forced my way through the spiders in the game aswell.

but damn i got jumpscared by the acromantula

[wild river]

acromantula is lwk easy af

glacius + incendio multiple times

or drop some cabbages

[lusty prism]

Or Avada kedavra?

[wild river]

obviously bro

im talking about those who are around level 20-25

i defeated it when i was level 19 ig so i didnt have any unforgivable spells to use

[subtle slate]

I just finished the Haunted Hogsmeade quest and saw some interesting portraits I’ve never seen before in game. I’ve only seen on Tumblr user post about this so I feel like it needs more attention—-some interesting portraits

the boy on the right looks like Ominis and that might be one of his brothers

[rocky imp]

never caught eye of it b4! that’s a really interesting detail : 0

[indigo holly]

??? Where are those

[subtle slate]

and that might be his mother and his sister

if you play the haunted Hogsmade quest it's in one of the hallways
