Now that its release date is magically upon us, the key Hogwarts Legacy cast has been revealed, with some famous faces including none other than Simon Pegg providing their talent.
With pre-orders now open, you've probably made up your mind about the game, but who knows? Maybe a voice actor or two'll sway your mind. If not, our review might. There are some familiar faces and voices in this.

Instead, Warner Bros and Avalanche Software have confirmed that the Hot Fuzz star will play Phineas Nigellus Black, a «cantankerous Headmaster» who comes from «a long lineage of Slytherins». You might just notice a name relation to a famous Potter character there, too.
More ancestors of popular characters from the book are set to appear in the game as well. The deputy head, for example, will be Professor Matilda Weasley, an ancestor to Ron Weasley and his siblings. Lesley Nicol provides her voice there. She sounds like a mentor of sorts, who will help the player-character catch up (since they are joining Hogwarts as a Fifth Year student).
