Hogwarts Legacy allows fans to drop into an open world Hogwarts and explore the school and the surrounding locations — just like the famous young witches and wizards of the series.
One of the most exciting things about Hogwarts Legacy (and the Harry Potter series itself) is the incredible locations and places that exist in the Wizarding World. The scene where Harry first arrives at Hogwarts on a boat is iconic, and the world that developed around it was as magical as the story itself.
As Hogwarts Legacy is set in the late 1800s, there will likely be some key differences in how Hogwarts and the wider wizarding world look from the 1990s setting we’ve become so used to.
With that in mind, here are the regions and locations that you can explore in the game.
