This latest installment in the Fire Emblem franchise retains the tactical combat, unit recruitment, and fantasy elements seen in previous titles, while throwing in a fair number of "magical academy" tropes. In the first half of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, the protagonist becomes a professor at the Officers Academy at Garreg Mach Monastery, instructing a new generation of nobles in the arts of combat, marksmanship, and magic. As the title, " Fire Emblem: Three Houses, " suggests, students are divided into three (four with the DLC) school houses: The Black Eagles, The Blue Lions, The Golden Deer, and the Ashen Wolves. By choosing to join one house or the others, the player gains a closer connection to the students within, while also unwittingly choosing the side they'll take in the massive, nation-spanning war that breaks out in the second half of the g  
The question is, how does featuring the Whomping Willow in the Hogwarts Legacy wallpaper break canon? Well, in 1971, the Whomping Willow was located at the Hogwarts Legacy Cheats|Https://Hogwartslegacyfans.Com/ grounds for the first time. The tree hid a secret passage from Hogwarts to the Shrieking Shack, a house just outside of Hogsmeade, where Remus Lupin would go to transform into a werewolf once every month. It was believed that Headmaster Dumbledore planted the tree for that very purpose. After all, the tree was extremely violent towards any student, excepting Remus Lu  
Hogwarts Legacy will also be an original story unrelated to the events within Harry Potter and will serve as an open-world RPG that has players creating their own characters and sending them on a magical journey. The prospect of wandering the Wizarding World as a witch or a wizard is something fans of the beloved series have dreamed of for a long t  
As game developer Crystal Frasier said in a popular tweet thread, the devs who worked on Hogwarts Legacy have likely already been paid in salaries or contracting fees, so their pay won't be determined by how well the game sells. If the game tanks enough to hurt its publisher, it could lead to layoffs, but Frasier argued post-game-launch layoffs are a norm in the AAA game development industry, so it's possible they would need to move on to different jobs, anyway. The only people who would profit from additional sales, then, are likely Warner Bros. and Rowl  
During Sony's PS5 showcase that took place earlier this month, Hogwarts Legacy was revealed after being previously leaked in the past , and at one point even rumored to be developed by Rocksteady until that was debunked . The reveal of Hogwarts Legacy however was not entirely welcomed due to the recent controversy surrounding the creator of the fictional universe the game is set within. A FAQ has detailed exactly how much involvement J.K. Rowling has in the upcoming magical RPG, and it seems to be purposefully added in light of the situation onl  
The Shrieking Shack was secluded from everything else and was the perfect stop for Remus to transfer into his monstrous half. Stupidly, Sirius Black would eventually tell Severus Snape how to avoid the Whomping Willow, and Snape, being curious, proceeds to do this on the night of a full moon. On that night, Snape almost faced death by a transformed Remus, but was saved by James Potter. This was part of what cemented Sirius and Snape as mortal enemies for the rest of their living d  
Publisher Warner Bros. Games announced Hogwarts Legacy at the PlayStation 5 Showcase in mid-September, following a long period of murmuring that a console Harry Potter game was on the way. The open-world RPG, which will also come to current-gen systems and Xbox Series X, allows players to create their own Hogwarts students, exploring the school and the world beyond in the late 18  
This argument ignores the fact, however, that Portkey Games is an entirely Harry Potter -dedicated development studio. If Hogwarts United fails, Warner Bros. could re-brand Portkey and have its team work on other projects, but the more likely scenario is the dissolution of the studio entirely. Still, as YouTuber Jenny Nicholson said following the game's announcement, that kind of consequence is the point of a boyc  
In its FAQ, Hogwarts Legacy distances itself from Rowling , making clear the author is not directly involved with the game's story (though still praising her " extraordinary body of writing "). Rowling's controversial status began with a late-2019 tweet, in which she supported Maya Forstater, a researcher who lost her job for various transphobic comments - including one stating the idea that " trans women are women " is a " literal delusion ," according to CNN . Rowling had previously liked a tweet calling transgender women " men in dresses " (which she later said was an accident made during research for her writing), and in June 2020, more Rowling tweets criticized the trans-inclusive term " people who menstruat  
There is no shortage of Harry Potter video games out there - RPGs and mobile games of varying quality. This article, however, will focus on RPG games which take inspiration from Harry Potter , while ultimately telling their own original stories of magical adventures, awe-inspiring academies, friendships, and teenage chican
