Hogwarts Legacy sequel now in development, story to be co-ordinated with HBO’s Harry Potter series

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I must admit that the news about Hogwarts Legacy 2 has left me both exhilarated and puzzled. With the original game setting a new benchmark for open-world RPGs in the magical universe, the anticipation for its sequel was already sky-high. However, the recent revelation that the writers are coordinating with the team behind HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter series has added an unexpected twist to the tale.


As a gaming enthusiast who’s played Hogwarts Legacy, it’s no secret that this magical adventure has raked in more than a billion dollars worldwide, selling over 30 million copies! With such staggering success, it feels like a given that we’ll be seeing a follow-up to this enchanting journey.

As a gamer, I was all geared up for the next installment of Hogwarts Legacy to pick up where we left off, right in the late 19th Century. But here’s an interesting twist: from what I’ve heard, the team working on the sequel is actually collaborating with the group behind the upcoming HBO series. You know, the one based on J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books. So, it seems like we might be venturing into a world more intertwined with the original novels than I initially thought!

Will Hogwarts Legacy 2 be set in the Harry Potter era?

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that David Haddad, President of Warner Bros., has spilled some exciting beans this week. He mentioned that a follow-up to Hogwarts Legacy is currently being developed, and here’s the twist: The creative minds behind it are working hand-in-hand with HBO! It seems they aim to weave the narrative of the next Hogwarts Legacy game in harmony with the storyline of the upcoming Harry Potter series on HBO. Can’t wait to see how this magical tale unfolds!

Haddad says the games team has been coordinating some of the big-picture storytelling elements in the “Hogwarts Legacy” sequel with the storylines that will play out in the “Harry Potter” HBO series coming from Warner Bros. Television.

The obvious question is what exactly Haddad means when describing “big-picture storytelling elements”. HBO’s show is based on the novels, so it also begs the question, why can’t the Hogwarts Legacy team simply refer to the books?

Currently, our knowledge is limited enough that we can only venture guesses. It could imply that the upcoming Hogwarts Legacy game might be set during Harry Potter’s time (late 90s), or alternatively, the HBO series might diverge from the books. Rest assured, further details will likely emerge soon.

How do you envision a connection between the HBO series and the upcoming Hogwarts Legacy sequel, and how excited are you for both of them, just like us?
