Despite the massive commercial and critical success, there have only been some suggestions thatHogwarts Legacycould get a sequel, but nothing concrete. That was until now.
There’s no telling how this potential new setting will work out. After all, the 1890s perfectly compliments the aesthetic ofHogwarts Legacy. That being said, whenHarry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stonewas first released in cinemas in 2001, its then modern setting was also ideally suited.
Understandably, fans on Reddit have divided opinions.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t understand the part about coordinating storytelling,”saidlunarisita, referring to the prospect ofHogwarts Legacy 2’sstory syncing with the HBO series.
They continued: “One of the things that madeHogwarts Legacyso popular was that it was an original story that gave protagonism to an original character - in this case, the player and a new cast - making them the central part of the story.”

“It’s the classic trope of a lousy business - something succeeds, so now they have to meddle with further efforts to assert their control,” replied spidertour02.
“There’s just no way HBO is dumb enough to make significant changes to an IP as beloved as Harry Potter,” jcolls69 exclaimed. “I’m assuming the coordinating storylines must have something to do with Hogwarts lore or wizarding world lore in general.”
“Honestly, kind of disappointing to hear. I liked how the game was doing its own thing and was mostly removed from everything else,” jezr3n explained. “And I am… less than enthused about the idea of the reboot to begin with, so this is very tepid news for me.”
