When does Hogwarts Legacy take place? The latest Harry Potter universe game is set in the distant past, long before the scarred boy set foot in Hogwarts’ hallowed halls, and even before the Fantastic Beasts films. To put this into context, Dumbledore is a mere child in the events of this game, so it’s as if we’re stepping into a brand-new world.
With its rather early timeframe, most of the Hogwarts Legacy characters are new faces, with no Hagrid or Harry Potter to help you settle in. However, since the ghosts have been on campus since forever, it’s highly probable you’ll at least bump into Nearly Headless Nick from time to time.
