One Hogwarts Legacy player discovered an interesting reference to the original Harry Potter series . The game in question is one of the biggest hits of 2023 and enjoys huge popularity even months after its release. Although it was officially announced in 2020, fans knew about the case even earlier thanks to information leaks. Hogwarts Legacy fulfills almost all wizarding dreams, set a hundred years before Harry’s adventures at Hogwarts. Although the plot is not directly related to the books or movies, careful players noticed a few subtle references.
Another Hogwarts Legacy Harry Potter easter egg was shared on Reddit by user Xunlu_Tingzhi . If you’re familiar with house elves, you’ll recognize Kreacher from the in-game image. The painting is in the school library. Although there is no 100% certainty that it is actually Kreacher, the resemblance is remarkable, and the character is clearly based on the movie version. Kreacher appeared in the final parts of Harry Potter as Sirius Black’s house elf in his family home, then the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. It is believed that Kreacher is already hundreds of years old, so his presence in the game Hogwarts Legacyhas some justification. The servant of the Black family at Hogwarts may also be related to the fact that Phineas Nigellus Black is the headmaster of the school, and at the same time the ancestor of Sirius.
This is a nice curiosity, which also diversifies the history of the Black family in Hogwarts Legacy . Currently, there are no plans to release DLC for the game, but we can expect more such productions in the future. Warner Bros. has publicly expressed its satisfaction with the sales results and the hope of building a gaming niche for the wizarding world.
