Huge expectations from Hogwarts Legacy

Character Customization in 

Fans expect the game to get this feature right because it promises an immersive, open world, action RPG experience. There will be options like picking your wand or choosing your clothes, which makes the experience mostly centered around you.

Spells and Spell Casting

Everyone knows the importance of spells in the Wizard World. The spells will be based on your skill tree and categorized as Transfiguration, Charm, Jinxes, Curses, Counter Spells, and Healing Spells. The players will be able to upgrade to use their spells to the maximum potential.

Story

The storyline is expected to be worthy of the immersive lore that Harry Potter books have created. The official synopsis reads that this Hogwarts Experience is based in the 1800s, and the playable character holds the key to an ancient secret. This secret is dangerous enough to threaten and tear the wizarding world apart.

The story is refreshingly new, as it possesses new lore to the already existing Wizarding World narrative. This is sure to get both gamers and non-gamers excited.
