This came as a shock for Xbox users as the game is quite appealing to a considerable community section. It is not only going to have a tale of its own but also would answer several questions left behind by the books.
Is anyone else really excited just to do the “mundane”stuff? Like visit diagon alley, get your wand, pick a pet, get sorted into a house etc- because I sure am lol. Plus I hope something determines which house you get sorted into so it’s not too set in stone #HogwartsLegacy pic.twitter.com/eZSAcbBw9U

Since it is a tale long before Lord Voldemort or Gellert Grindelwald, the story might revolve around an ancient magic source.
JK Rowling’s shitty actions are not grounds to not support Hogwarts Legacy. She has no involvement with the game. Any royalties she may or may not be earning are meaningless. The game’s devs have worked on this for years and it should be supported for them, not ignored for JK.

Perhaps, the evil shown in the game would have a great significance over future developments, as seen in the movies and books.

Fans all across the world are eagerly waiting for the release of Hogwarts Legacy.
WB has also officially announced that J.K. Rowling will not be associated with the franchise in any way. This is a rather controversial move, although numerous feel that it was necessary.

Especially after the recent fiasco. This also gives the game creative freedom to take a direction opposite to Rowling’s vision.

Newt Scamander or Harry Potter might not be in Hogwarts Legacy, but fans expect several clues and hints that relate to them.
There are several who would claim that after the Fantastic Beasts movies, a follow-up TV series is necessary. This is the impact of Harry Potter on popular culture. However, a game will have to suffice for now.
