How different is Hogwarts Legacy from Harry Potter movies

Hogwarts Legacy is one of the most anticipated video games recently, as fans have been waiting for it for a long time. The game will be the largest video game adaptation of the world of Harry Potter, and Avalanche Software has promised many new things will come the way of the players.

Many curious fans have had questions about the game's difference from the movies. Eight movies have been released based on the main storyline, and each of them has been hugely successful.

It's been known that Hogwarts Legacy will follow a timeline of its own. Some of the differences it will have from the movies are pretty easy to interpret, but others might be hidden.

While the exact details might not be known, this much is known that there will be significant differences between the game and the movies.

The major difference comes from the dates the two are set in. Hogwarts Legacy is set in the late 1800s, which is significantly different from the time of Harry Potter and his adventures.

The first book's adventure starts from the moment when a young Harry meets Hagrid and subsequently goes to Hogwarts. This takes place in 1991, which could be more than 100 years from when the game is set.

There's a high chance that most iconic characters won't be present in Hogwarts Legacy. It's almost confirmed that Harry and his friends won't find a place there. The list doesn't stop there, as the Dark Lord Voldemort will not be present unless the developers introduce time jumps or any such features. 1926 is when, according to the books, the evil wizard was born, well behind the timeline of the games.

There will be a change in the overview of the game from the movies. The trailer and the state of play have already showcased some of the possible activities
