Despite being an intelligent humanoid race, goblins have faced much adversity and persecution in the Harry Potter universe, particularly in the 17th and 18th centuries when goblin rebellions were prevalent. Many wizards still consider them a subservient race, and to this day they are forbidden from using wands by The Ministry of Magic. In Chapter 15 of The Order of the Phoenix, the Daily Prophet claimed there were still disruptive groups of goblins even during the 1990s, although no concrete evidence supported the newspaper's claim. It seems entirely likely for some goblins to still harbor resentment towards wizards. In 1877, the 393rd Quidditch World Cup became known as " The Tournament that Nobody Remembers, " as a venue was selected, tickets were sold, and players were injured, but no one can recall the events of that day. It's not known for sure what happened, but speculation has narrowed the blame to either a colossal outbreak of Cerebrumous Splattergroit (a fungus causing confusion and memory loss) or a mass Memory Charm perpetuated by the Goblin Liberation Fr  
Hogwarts Legacy _ will allow players to experience the magic of Hogwarts like never before, but the _Harry Potter RPG won't be arriving on consoles until next year. Luckily, in the meantime, there are several other magic-based video games for Hogwarts Legacy fans to  
The official Hogwarts Legacy Beginner guide|https://hogwartslegacyfans.com/ Legacy Twitter account posted an update on the game earlier today, stating that it would " like to thank fans from around the world " for their excitement regarding the open-world Harry Potter game.

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  
Harry Potter fans don't know the exact year, or even decade, in which Hogwarts Legacy takes place . Dumbledore was born in 1881, which means he would be quite young in the video game. If Hogwarts Legacy takes place in the 1890s, he could even be a student at Hogwarts, since this would've been the decade in which he attended the school. Canonically, Dumbledore attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1892-1899, so all of this is possi  
" I’m happy to say that, even though I disclosed my YouTube channel to WB Games, it didn’t appear to be an issue for them. Not that they endorse anything that I’ve said, of course, but at least they seem more concerned with making good games than with pushing some kind of a social justice agenda, so there is hop  
The Harry Potter franchise has already taken its share of blowback after controversial opinions made public by its author, but now one of the games based on the series, Hogwarts Legacy , _ may be subjected to the same fate, after it has been revealed that the game's lead designer has a long-standing legacy of anti-social justice views. His YouTube channel, in which he posted videos criticizing feminism and social justice while praising cultural appropriation, was recently highlighted on Twitter, and now may be shifting consumer opinions on whether to pick up a copy of _Legacy when it releases in 20  
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 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
