WithHogwarts Legacy’s summer update dropping back in June, many players have returned and that means that there are a whole lot of secrets being discovered once again.
That is what happened with one user over on r/hogwartslegacyJKR who drew attention to a certain dialogue option.
When asked a question, the main character is able to choose between three responses with one simply stating “Horcruxes”.
If you are a fan of the Harry Potter series, then you will know that Horcruxes are objects or even people that are capable of housing part of a person’s soul as a way for them to achieve immortality.

However, as this is a very dark and forbidden practice, it is not usually taught on the school’s curriculum which had this Reddit user quite confused.
“Wait what? Aren’t Horcruxes extremely dark hidden and forbidden knowledge?” Theyasked.
“How would our character even know that word?”
However, an answer was soon provided courtesy of a fellow fan.

“Dumbledore had all books about Horcruxes removed from the library only after the first Wizarding War,” they explained.
“Before that, every student with access to the restricted section could read about them, which is exactly what Voldemort did.”
Considering the events ofHogwarts Legacytake place over one hundred years before the Harry Potter series, it is easy to forget that this information would have been readily available at this time.
Yet another mystery solved!
