Official News Hi! I'm Cody, the new Community Manager!

Is this what it feels like to get your Hogwarts acceptance letter?!

Hi everyone! I'm Cody, but you can call me Vaknar. I’m honoured to share that I recently joined Avalanche Software as the new Community Manager. TL; DR: I'm here to be the bridge between Avalanche and you, the Hogwarts Legacy community.

First things first, who is this guy? Well, I’m a midwestern boy but I've been living in Southern California for a few years. Enjoying frequent beach days and catching the occasional wave whenever possible. I’ve been a community manager in gaming for several years, and, of course, I’m a Harry Potter fan! I grew up reading the books, waiting outside the theaters for each movie release, and now I’m ecstatic to be a part of the Hogwarts Legacy team!

I'll be honest, Hogwarts Legacy really pulled me into the wizarding world, and the further in I got, the harder it was to put down. I won’t pretend that I’m an expert quite yet, but I think I'm well on my way! Between the game, the lore rabbit holes, and this community… I reckon it won't be long before I can rattle off obscure trivia tidbits without thinking twice.

I’ve only just started, and while I'm still finding my footing, my goal is straightforward: to make this a space easily worth showing up to. That means celebrating the amazing things you're creating, making sure your voices and feedback reach the right people, and keeping things welcoming and inclusive for everyone.

When I'm not kicking back in the Hufflepuff common room, you'll find me lurking in conversations, listening, interacting with the community and probably asking a lot of questions — I’m very interested in hearing what players think about the game. I promise I'm friendlier than a Chinese Chomping Cabbage, so don't be a stranger and feel free to say hi!

– Cody (Vaknar)

I Took some inspiration. I wanted to make it dilapidated and woodsy, not luxurious at all, but still regal. I did what I could with the resources available.

Floo flame to Marunweem ruins, turn to the right and head up towards the diricrawl den in the mountain, fly between the tree and the little house and the dragon should fly in and pick up a cow on the cliff.

User Reviews I hope it's okay for me to share my excitement...

I saw another user review on here and just had to express how much I'm loving this game so far!!! I'm not a very big HP fan but this game makes me want to explore the franchise more and continue playing this, I have a knack for RPG games and one of my favorite cozy content creators shared about this game and when I saw it on sale on steam I had to snag it. I'm liking the mod customization as well, its an amazing feature for people like me who like to customize their characters and game. I just started a few days ago <3 happy gaming!

I just went on the game on my PS5 and saw a free DLC released today - Astronomer’s Hat. I think it was previously only available to people who got the game via Amazon or something so it’s nice we can all get it now, and at no extra cost😁

Question Constant stuttering on high-end PC

5 Upvotes

Does anyone know how to fix this? I am stumped. Between textures sometimes not loading in when entering a building when I first walk in, to after I walk in it starts stuttering like crazy. I do have some mods installed but even when I delete them all and verify my game files it still acts the same way. Even on the lowest settings I still get stuttering.

Disclaimer: Yes I know somehow this is my fault, I'm just looking on how to fix it.

My PC specs:

- 64GB of RAM

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2

- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5090

- NVMe M.2 SSD(1TB)

Take the floo flame to Marunweem. Head towards the ancient magic hotspot/Marunweem bridge and then then the dragon will fly over the lake

User Reviews I know I’m late to the party but holy shit I love this game

103 Upvotes

For starters I am not even a die hard Harry Potter fan but I’m familiar enough with the franchise to really appreciate the details of this game. I love RPGs that are tee’d up within existing worlds that we all know and love but man, this really set a new baseline.

Every time I finish a quest and think I’ve hit the ceiling I find myself going deeper and deeper. Awesome story line. Literally no repetition. And a much more expansive map than I expected. 20/10 game I’m bummed I took so long.

Sorry for the chaotic cast of characters, I've just started playing and unlocking career rewards, but I'm really enjoying this game!
I think the characterization is one of the most criticized points, but I honestly like it.
We can even unlock iconic characters from the saga (I can't wait to unlock Luna in her "Gryffindor fan" outfit, and have Professor Snape play Quidditch 🤣) and the best part is that it doesn't cost anything!
By playing, you earn gold and can buy everything, except the things that have to be unlocked only by playing, a great incentive to play often.

Just getting back into gaming after 20 years and HWL is the first game I played. Absolutely loved this games open world and stunning visuals. Hoping for more friendship quests with Sebastian and crew and more optional features like broom races and crossed wands and also specific beast related quests where you’d need to use specific beast to beat the challenge. Overall amazing game I made it through the entire game and I’m still finding tons of hidden things when I explore. So excited for HWL2! On a final note Peeves’ mom is a ho!

Discussion A small "Minding Your Own Business" rant

224 Upvotes

Hi wizards, so I have been replaying Hogwarts Legacy for a millionth time, but this was the first time I just finished the Hogsmeade shop quest that used to be PS exclusive for some time. While I liked the quest itself, I was completely flabbergasted and shocked when I discovered that owning my own Hogsmeade shop only means essentially unlocking a new vendor who buys crap for a bit more money. Like, THAT'S IT?! I cannot customise the shop or do anything else with it really. Other than choosing the name and Penny getting a hat :D That really sucks in my opinion.

Discussion I think we all know werewolves aren’t an option in the first game…

5 Upvotes

but a sequel has been officially announced, and considering that there is actually a promising amount of attention and other details to werewolves in the first game, like the tapestry, a model in the defense against the dark arts room, and a scrapped werewolf character model. Is it plausible to believe that werewolves and lycanthropy could become a bigger part of the second game, I’m hoping that our protagonist could become infected, that would be a cool part of the game. Let me know what you think by commenting!
