Hogwarts Legacy's most magical feature is the lack of microtransactions

techradar.com:

Hogwarts Legacy will not include microtransactions, the community manager of developer Avalanche Software has confirmed.

The upcoming Harry Potter RPG was finally fully revealed in PlayStation’s March 17 State of Play showcase through an extensive gameplay trailer. The preview gave us an in-depth look into the game’s spell-slinging combat, a glimpse of its open-world exploration, and narrowed its release window down to this year’s holiday season. 

After the show aired, however, some excited fans were worried that in-game purchases would creep into Hogwarts Legacy. Avalanche didn't touch on the topic during the stream, leaving many to speculate that microtransactions would be included in the game through its potion-brewing or spell-casting mechanics.

That won’t be the case, however, as Avalanche’s community manager Chandler Wood has made explicitly clear on Twitter.

“We've seen this question coming up and want to set the record straight,” Wood said. 

“There are no microtransactions in Hogwarts Legacy.”

It’s difficult for Wood to be any clearer than that. Don’t expect any in-game purchases to appear in Hogwarts Legacy, and by the way Wood is framing the issue, don’t expect any to crop up in the future.

Microtransactions don’t have a glowing reputation across the world of video games. While publishers see them as an easy way of monetizing games to make an extra buck after release, predatory in-game purchase systems are often implemented to the detriment of a game’s core experience, or pushed so aggressively onto players that they spoil their enjoyment.
