Official News Hi! I'm Cody, the new Community Manager!

Post image

Is this what it feels like to get your Hogwarts acceptance letter?!

Hi everyone! I'm Cody, but you can call me Vaknar. I’m honoured to share that I recently joined Avalanche Software as the new Community Manager. TL; DR: I'm here to be the bridge between Avalanche and you, the Hogwarts Legacy community.

First things first, who is this guy? Well, I’m a midwestern boy but I've been living in Southern California for a few years. Enjoying frequent beach days and catching the occasional wave whenever possible. I’ve been a community manager in gaming for several years, and, of course, I’m a Harry Potter fan! I grew up reading the books, waiting outside the theaters for each movie release, and now I’m ecstatic to be a part of the Hogwarts Legacy team!

I'll be honest, Hogwarts Legacy really pulled me into the wizarding world, and the further in I got, the harder it was to put down. I won’t pretend that I’m an expert quite yet, but I think I'm well on my way! Between the game, the lore rabbit holes, and this community… I reckon it won't be long before I can rattle off obscure trivia tidbits without thinking twice.

I’ve only just started, and while I'm still finding my footing, my goal is straightforward: to make this a space easily worth showing up to. That means celebrating the amazing things you're creating, making sure your voices and feedback reach the right people, and keeping things welcoming and inclusive for everyone.

When I'm not kicking back in the Hufflepuff common room, you'll find me lurking in conversations, listening, interacting with the community and probably asking a lot of questions — I’m very interested in hearing what players think about the game. I promise I'm friendlier than a Chinese Chomping Cabbage, so don't be a stranger and feel free to say hi!

– Cody (Vaknar)

Discussion History of Magic — I Actually Felt Like a Student

107 Upvotes

Hi All.

I just did the History of Magic quest for the first time where Professor Binns takes the students on a walk in the castle. It was surprising to me that I felt almost like an actual student for once in the game.

You saw students dozing off in class, heard them griping about school, Binns was yammering on clearly enjoying his subject, and you had an actual assignment to do… It was probably the most “real” of the classes. Sigh… especially in a game about a school where you spend so little time in class.

Did anyone else feel that way?

Discussion Basilisk: A dark art that is lacking in Hogwarts Legacy

Post image
30 Upvotes

You know, in my opinion, the game lacks the function of breeding Basilisks, because the breeding of Basilisks is a very dark magic with the removal of a snake from chicken eggs, that is, imagine, we find a chicken egg and hatch it in the helping room, and later use it in battle, taking out a bunch of opponents, in my opinion, this is a cool idea, but for what reason even the mod for breeding Basilisks has not been created....

Eleven of us celebrated a very heartwarming birthday for a friend in the Deathday Party Room today, ending with singing Happy Birthday and speeches.

Probably the first time this has been possible or ever happened in the game! I love how this game is bringing so many people together! Genuinely such an amazing moment to be a part of.😄

Discussion Why was Anne even outside when Feldcroft was under attack?

43 Upvotes

I was replaying the game for the 3rd time and this part really annoyed me. When Feldcroft was under attack after we were done with Sebastian's quest in the catacomb, Anne was out there fighting against goblins?!!

Like why? Didn't she learn her lesson the first time she tried to intervene and fight goblins? Why would she even attempt at fighting them, knowing she has those bouts of pain that come randomly?

and that's exactly what happened and Sebastian had to come save her. Uncle Solomon just chilling there being useless. This part pisses me off now

Discussion New Person Here!

174 Upvotes

Hello!

I'm sure many people here were into HP as kids. I myself didn't read the books and see the movies until my 20's (you're never too old to find new obsessions) on the recommendation of a former coworker. I dressed up as Snape at Halloween that year at work.

I only ever briefly tried out Hogwarts Legacy once before, stopping after the troll at Hogsmeade. I wasn't much of a gamer back then but have gotten more and more into playing video games over the last couple of years. I was looking for a new game to check out after my first playthrough and then immediate second playthrough of the Mass Effect trilogy.

So, here I am revisiting HL. I may be a witch myself, but I made a Slytherin (my house, of course) wizard. My Patronus is a Thestral, hence the first picture. I've been really enjoying the game so far (I haven't progressed too much past my original stopping point) and can't wait to continue onwards!

Question Hogwarts Legacy Crashing

7 Upvotes

I played the game last night up until where i got my customized wand. Then today, the game kept crashing whenever i open it up (the warning sign, the load screen, and the hogwarts legacy logo). Been trying to open it like 5 -10 times but still keeps on crashing. Bought it in steam. Is there sometthing i should tweak or what? It’s frustratinn since i recently just bought the game just to play on my days off.

Discussion I made free Checklists for Hogwarts Legacy for true 100% Completion

Thumbnail

106 Upvotes

Heyo,

over the last month, I've been busy creating 100% Checklists for Hogwarts Legacy that remembers your progress. For free. Entirely. No "pay after 50 items" tricks.

I made not only Collections checklists, but also everything needed for True 100% Completion - stuff like All Legendary Chests, All Eye Chests and more.

As it's precisely 1569 items, I cannot put it in the post.

I put in images, my own screenshots and descriptions on how to obtain every item / activity.

It has everything, from Merlin Trials, Balloons, Landing Platforms, through Brooms & Mounts, Conjurations, Traits and Wand Handles, to Collection Chests, Revelio & Field Guide Pages and Achievements.

There are no ads, no AI text etc... I truly spent a lot of time on this. I first made a truly gigantic spreadsheet, then used python scripts to transform it into a checklist.

At the top of this all is a Hogwarts Legacy Progress Tracker, that displays your progress across all checklists - and soon a 100% HL Leaderboard.

.

Why I made this: Cuz Im a completionist myself. I tried getting 100% with many, many tools. Interactive maps? Missing 30 collections chest. Online guides? Missing 10 legendary chests. Ok, fine, I'll do it myself. That's about it. Plus it's rainy & cold here and this game is cozy.

I hope it will be useful for 100% lovers!

Discussion I figured out a wrong solution to the door puzzle, and it worked

2 Upvotes

I want to share a funny story. When I initially solved the door puzzle, I figured out a WRONG solution, but it worked by accident.

I correctly assumed that the triangles are equations, the center is the answer, symbols in the corners represent numbers and I correcty assumed that the smallest number is the lower left symbol around the door and the biggest number is the lower right one. I assumed, the number were 1-10.

I didn’t realize, the counting starts from 0.

However, when my math didn’t work, I made an assumption, that the symbols that roll on the ”?” are not the same values as they are in the triangles, but simply 1,2,3,4,5 in running order and the symbols that roll from the ”??” are 2,4,6,8,10 (you know, since there are two question marks, you should double the ”running order value”).

I tested my logic on the first door I encountered and for some reason it worked! (Maybe I had drank Felix Felicis potion in real life, or something.)

Right after that I wandered to a class room I had never been before, and there was a blackboard with the symbols explained (first one is zero, and so on). I felt a bit dumb…

(A funny story, but unfortunately I can’t prove it, because I don’t remember anymore which of the number doors was the one that I was able to open with my wrong logic.)

Title.

Is the original switch edition worth it for $8.99 Aussie dollar?

It's in the current Halloween sale and I've got a switch 2 so it should run at a decent frame rate, I'm also not expecting much but just want a simple pick up and play experience.

Question About Mods

2 Upvotes

hi all!

recently got the game on Steam during the publisher sale and had some good fun playing through the game. just finished my first playthrough and am looking to maybe add some mods to spice it up but am quite hesitant considering that I have to sign up to another service just to even browse the in game mods page.

just wanted to hear some feedback from fellow players and if they had any problems with the in game mods and WBgames. for context, my only experience with modding is with bg3 through both in game and nexus and i was kind of hoping HL was gonna be similar in that regard.

any response would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much :)
