If Not Albus Dumbledore, Who Could Hogwarts Legacy Have As the Headmaster of the Magical School?

Hogwarts Legacy is, without any doubt, one of the biggest releases of 2022. Finally, after a prologue wait, the wizarding world fans get to immerse themselves in the magical yet mysterious world of Hogwarts. However, something worth noting here is that the game is majorly set in the 1800s, much before everyone’s favorite Harry Potter was even born. But what does that mean for characters and, of course, the headmaster?

Well, some fans might be dismayed upon the realization that the game is majorly set in the late 1800s. That means very few familiar faces in Hogwarts Legacy. The title will follow the original characters in the late 1800s. And most of the loved and popular Harry Potter characters from the movies or even books for that matter won’t be there in Hogwarts at that time.

Interestingly, this fact also enables the developers to explore the hidden era of the wizarding world that hasn’t been touched by the golden franchise yet. Well, even so, there are a few caveats the title can definitely work with.

Who will be the headmaster in Hogwarts Legacy?

Speaking of Headmaster, if Dumbledore isn’t the one, then who could be the headmaster of the magical school? Well, less excitingly, fans can expect Phineas Neggullus Black (great-great-grandfather of Sirius Black III) to fill the role of headmaster in Hogwarts in the late 1880s. Yes, that’s right. One of the school’s least-loved headmasters will be there on the prominent position in Hogwarts Legacy, giving players a new angle to learn about him.

Additionally, it’s also possible that the game will focus on his life as a headmaster and why he wasn’t that popular in the school despite being the headmaster.

As fans might already know that Dumbledore won’t be the headmaster of Hogwarts due to the timeline. But fans will be more than thrilled to see a young, brilliant Dumbledore as a student when he finally takes admission to the wizarding school of Hogwarts.

Although the game is supposed to follow the timelines quite strictly, it’s possible that the developers might throw in some familiar characters just for that extra fun. Above all, Hogwarts Legacy promises to give players all the freedom in the world to explore and discover fantastic beasts, customize their character and craft magic portions, upgrade skills, master some of the highly forbidden spells to become the wizard or witch they always wanted to be.

Hogwarts Legacy is confirmed for a 2022 release for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One Xbox S, and PC.
