Hogwarts Legacy Mod Lets You Play as Newt Scamander

A new mod for Hogwarts Legacy allows players to play as Newt Scamander, the protagonist of the Fantastic Beasts film series. The player-character has already been the focus of a few interesting mods, with one Hogwarts Legacy mod allowing gamers to play as Voldemort in-game.

The Hogwarts Legacy modding scene has gotten off to a great start, with plenty of positive signs for the future.
