Rowling’s discriminatory rhetoric toward trans people has forced many to reconsider supporting media based on her work. The controversy surrounding Harry Potter creator J.K. The obvious effort that’s gone into Hogwarts Legacy‘s character creation and impressive visuals make the current situation all the more frustrating. Hogwarts Legacy aims to be the first to offer something so uniquely compelling. While there have been many Harry Potter games since, there are few with character creation and fewer yet with robust systems that embrace diversity. Players will have an influence over this process just like Harry Potter did, so don’t worry about being put into a house that doesn’t suit the player’s personal preferences.Įver since the Harry Potter novels began publication, a generation of readers has imagined themselves as witches and warlocks attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Like Harry Potter in the books, players will be sorted into one of four Hogwarts houses, either Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff. That system is, of course, the Sorting Hat ceremony. That’s up to Avalanche to clarify in the weeks to come.Īfter the character creation system itself is briefly shown, another of Hogwarts Legacy‘s personalization systems is introduced. It’s possible the developers at Avalanche chose this specific character design that looks good, and other customizations stand out less. Still, the character models are impressive and expressive. The characters genuinely look impressive, though perhaps not to a realistic degree. It’s that it’s the first look at character creation using the game’s near-final visuals. What makes this brief look at Hogwarts Legacy‘s character creation system so exciting in an initial impression isn’t the diversity of faces or customizations, though.
