Hello Gog and good morning,
I would like to request Hogwarts Legacy.
I would dare to say that for many, Harry Potter is a series that inspired so many imaginations and brought the magical world closer to home with every book, movie, and even those cheesy video game movie tie-ins from PS2. For me it started with the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, back when it released and ever since then I was hooked.
I was in fourth grade and I remember walking into the grocery store with my mom at Stop & Shop when we passed the little book section they had where the 1st 2 books were on display. My mom knew that I liked to read so she had purchased both of them. I read the 2nd book first because I liked the art cover much more than the first one, and that was the start of the wizarding world for me. As I read each word, sentence, and page, my mind could clearly see what was going on as if a movie had been playing in my head. All spells that were casted, creatures they came across, adventures under the invisible cloak, and quidditch matches that Harry Potter experienced, I too had experienced them in my mind as if I was alongside him.
Harry Potter brought me so much joy especially as a kid because I would spend countless hours with my imagination creating the same scenarios I had read about. I might have even asked my mom a few times if quidditch was a real thing but to my disappointment it only existed within the books. I remember countless times grabbing the broom pretending that I was flying through the air or playing quidditch with friends. It was such an amazing time and I would never have experienced those things if it hadn't been for my mom buying me the 1st 2 books.
I became fascinated with Harry Potter and surely enough when I had finished reading the 2nd book, I gravitated towards the 1st one and continued to read because I wanted to know about Harry Potter and what this world was all about. I loved that the character was young just like me and how he had discovered that his life wasn't this boring, lifeless mess under the closet stairs. He was a wizard and he belonged to a world he had no idea existed. As each book released, I would always ask my mother to buy it for me and each time I would engulf myself within the pages reading sometimes for hours.
Naturally when the movie released, I had to go see it and it didn't let me down. Seeing platform 9 3/4, the chocolate frogs, Ron and Hermione, Dumbledore, the flying motorcycle, and the creatures come to life was such a fantastical moment for me. When the movie finished, I found myself satisfied and hoped that the other books would be adopted to film as well. As each released, I would go and see them.
As a gamer, I also wanted to experience the world of Harry Potter because video games do such an amazing job letting gamers experience and interact with a world in ways that a book or movie can't. I remember playing the first 2 games with my sister, who isn't much of a gamer, but because we both enjoyed Harry Potter so much, we decided to play those together. It was so fun being able to control Harry casting spells, creating potions, playing quidditch and living out what story that I had read. I only ever played the 1st 2 games as by the time the 3rd one had released, I became much more interested in shooters and rpgs. My taste in games were changing but also expanding and while I really enjoyed the 1st 2 games, I felt they were limited compared to the other games I was playing at the time.
I always knew that there was so much untapped potential within the world of Harry Potter but wasn’t sure that there would be a developer bold enough to take on the challenge. Cue Hogwarts Legacy, a game set in the 1800’s before the events of Harry Potter. You play as a 5th year student whom you get to customize and create to your liking. The world is set within the Hogwarts castle partaking in classes, practicing spells, learning to create potions, dueling against other wizards, and living the life of a Hogwarts student. You even get to explore the castle grounds and fly on a broom capturing and fighting all the fantastic beasts. Finally a game where we get to actually experience what it feels like to be a wizard in the world of Harry Potter.
My favorite types of games are action and rpg games, which this looks to be a combination of both. As more gameplay videos were revealed, my excitement for this game kept increasing because not only does this look like a game with all of the right elements to make it a success, it looks to be doing Harry Potter justice. Fans have been raving about the game as well as reviewers and I’m just so happy that we finally have a game that will let us experience Harry Potter as it should be.
This is why I’m so excited for this game because I want to be able to cast spells, duel against other wizards, fly on brooms, see lots of magical creatures, and get as close to possible to what it’s like to be a wizard.
I'm a huge gamer and I love to play all types of games be it from shooters to racing games. I've been able to enjoy so many games over the years that have sent me on some amazing journeys some being Halo Combat Evolved, The Last of Us, and Breath of Fire 3 just to name a few. I would love to be able to play and experience a game such as this and cannot wait to be able to explore the castle and school grounds in a way that no other previous Harry Potter game has been able to achieve. As a fan of the series, it's been a long wait and I'm just grateful that there was a developer that was determine to bring us this game.
Thank you for reading and blessings.
