The marketing surrounding Hogwarts Legacy is really starting to kick into gear now as Warner Bros publishes a CGI trailer that tours the castle grounds ahead of the PS5 title's 10th February 2023 release date. From the perspective of an owl, you'll first fly in between the towers and turrets of the famous school, and then journey into the Great Hall.
Nearly Headless Nick makes an appearance, and then you quickly see a class in progress, with a mention of a Weasley. Then there's the Forbidden Forest and some new environments featuring a dragon. Eventually, the owl makes it to the person it has a letter for and the trailer nicely comes to an end. Of course, since the footage uses computer-generated software, the game won't actually look this good in action. However, it's a nice little mood piece to get you in the mood to make your journey to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Looks owl-some!
So excited for this!
If they can get the gameplay and story right this could be very special. Fingers crossed.
Looks childish which is to be expected, but it also looks a bit stiff.
Given recent events, I won’t even pick this up second hand. Ultimately, it’s not the hardest choice to make.
I watched the first HP movie last night (watching them all in preparation for this game) and really enjoyed it. I know it’s not required viewing but I feel like there will be tones of Easter Eggs from the books/movies and I don’t want to miss out. The game looks so good.
@ItsBritneyB_tch Watching the movies will definitely have you more invested in the universe! I may rewatch a few myself before the 10th to get in the mood for it. I really hope this game delivers for all of us!
@nessisonett What recent events? I’ve already preordered the deluxe edition.
I’m so hyped for this! I just got the 4K collection in the Hogwarts train casing for a great deal of 70 and starting my marathon leading up to the game.
@Angelus3K Better not to get into it here. If you’re in the UK then you know what I’m talking about, if not then it’ll be easy enough to find.
@nessisonett I am in the UK but didn’t think there was anything recent.
I'm gonna double-dip on this one, I reckon. PS5 copy first for the full 60fps experience, then Switch for magic on the go (as long as it isn't a Cyberpunk-esque glitchfest)! This game is obviously gonna be a mega success, so I'm looking forward to a whole series of Hogwarts games! 👍
@Angelus3K I think it’s when she wished someone on Twitter a ‘Merry TERFmas’ at Christmas lol It didn’t go down well, as you can imagine.
Super excited to finally explore Hogwarts!
Childhood coming to life
Looking really good! Highly excited for this one!

Can't wait. Really looking forward to this.
Really appreciate the updated comment from PushSquare here. I’m very interested but would prefer to get this used or at a good discount if possible.
Can't wait to go to Hogwarts!
@nessisonett
What happened?
@OMG_Waffles At the risk of detailing the comment section, JK Rowling’s extended influence on UK politics has now resulted in Scottish devolution being completely undermined. If you look at the base facts and take opinion out of it, JK Rowling waged a war on the trans community which has now resulted in Scottish legislation that was passed by a cross-party alliance in our parliament being blocked by the UK government. Whether you agree or disagree, that’s on you, but that’s what happened.
@nessisonett
Oh my. I didn't know, I only get my news about games from here and definitely don't keep up with the latest things going on. Thank you for the information 👍
First game in years that I will pay full price for.
@nessisonett An the first minister is making a bigger deal than it really is or has to be. All the whilst many Scottish MSPs are saying they are willing to make changes to the law to make it compatible with UK wide legislation.
Of cause the First Minister rather than talk and compromise, just want a show down in court to further of nationalist agenda. A show down legal experts as said she will lose and apparently once again be advise like last time by her own legal team that she won't win. It clear she loves pissing tax payer money down the drain.
What good is cgi when there is no gameplay? 🤷♀️🤷♀️
@OMG_Waffles it has 0 to do with hogwarts. and honestly he giving you 5% of the story.
@huyi This one no, but we have had over an hour of actual gameplay.

JKR has created such a wonderful world with her Harry Potter books. I can’t wait to explore Hogwarts - truly a dream come true for millions of fans across the globe. This game is going to make mega bucks I recon. What a time to be alive.
@MatthewJP
It all seems kind of silly. All this fuss over a game. Personally I don't care for you know who and her outlook on life issues since reading up on the entire controversy. Her story's were a huge part of my childhood growing up though and I can't wait to relieve that part of my childhood again through this game. I stay off all social media now as it's just to toxic so I was completely in the dark as to what all the fuss was surrounding Hogwarts. Not really sure we're I stand on the issues at hand. I just want to relieve a bit of my childhood. It's a complex issue for sure and I see now why it's a hot button issue.
At this point, the people calling for boycotts are just going to make more people buy it.
Reeeeeally thinking about getting it Day 1. Damn.
@Toypop My thoughts exactly. 1 month out and they've showed next to nothing real. Add that to delays and I'm very sceptical that this game has any hope of living up to its hype. I mean let's be real, even without the red flags this game would struggle to live up to the level of hype it has.
@OMG_Waffles sounds sensible. Hope you enjoy the game
@MetalGear_Yoshi You obviously didn't watch the 30 minute gameplay showcase then.
Very cool looking trailer, but it is only CGI. I look forward to seeing the reviews and launch gameplay.
@DarthKiwi hmm, if I did I've completely blanked it. Will have to give it a watch.
@AdamNovice 100%, the calls for boycott are ridiculous. These things have a way of backfiring.
