Hogwarts Legacy is set in the eighteenth century, which is hundreds of years before Harry Potter and his friends are born. This gives newcomers to the series an easy way to join in on the fun, though there are a few familiar characters that could make an appearance, including Nicolas Flamel. The talented alchemist can defy death, but he does not use his powers for evil. His appearance in Hogwarts Legacy could be intertwined with the moral choices players make, and he could also offer further insight into the strange world of alchemy.
After some delays, Avalanche Software's highly anticipated game is set to release in early 2023, and gamers have a few editions to choose from if they wish to preorder. All editions come with a few perks, though the biggest fans have their eye on the Hogwarts Legacy Collector's Edition, which comes with a floating wand that works using magnets. Already the edition has sold out, and copies are being resold online at exorbitant prices. Regardless of which edition fans pick up, it would be great to see Nicolas Flamel getting involved in the story somehow.

Though Flamel has no ill intentions with the stone, it inevitably draws the attention of Dark Wizards wishing to use it for evil.
