Hogwarts Legacy is an upcoming action RPG game developed by Avalanche Software and published under the Warner Bros banner. The game will revolve around a fifth-year Hogwarts student who will have to take on various threats like ancient secret magic, Dark Wizards, and Rebellious Goblins. Also, the game would be set in the 1800s, meaning fans won’t get their favorite characters from the novels and movies.
Warner Bros. reveals Hogwarts Legacy will have choices
In recent years, video game developers let the players decide how they want their characters to proceed in the game. Therefore, the games offer players various decisions. Many video games like Horizon Zero Dawn, Cyberpunk 2077, and the latest Assassin’s Creed games have these choice features. These choices can affect a game’s character development and the story’s progression.

Further, these choices will affect the character’s personality as well. A player can always make righteous choices to become a kind-hearted, pure wizard. Also, they can go for a darker path, even performing forbidden spells like Cruciatus Curse as shown in the clip above.
Fan reactions to dialogue choices in the upcoming Wizarding game
The latest Hogwarts Legacy teaser revealed someone asking the player about their wish to learn about Cruciatus Curse. Every Potterhead knows the Cruciatus Curse is among the forbidden spells, and everyone thinks twice before using it unless you are a Dark Wizard.
Fans showcased their reaction to the players having the option to choose their way to progress in the game. Some also reacted to the Hufflepuff student being asked to learn Cruciatus Curse. Let’s look at those fan reactions.

Would the safest choice be the one to learn it but not cast it on the person 🤔

probably! That way you learn a new spell for your arsenal but you dont tarnish your reputation by being called the wizard who tortured another student

Alright but for real what kind of options are these? Who would willingly get cursed like what? At the same time who is going to go up to someone be like “hey imma curse you, you alright with that?”
