Top 5 Harry Potter games to play while waiting for Hogwarts Legacy
Hogwarts Legacy is a name Harry Potter fans have been eager to learn more about since its announcement two years ago. The upcoming AAA open world entry, set in the Wizarding World IP crafted by author JK Rowling, is being handled by Avalanche Games (not to be confused with Avalanche Studios of Just Cause fame).
However, no release details are clear yet, aside from a vague, 2022 promised window. Whether players are newcomers to the popular wizards and magic series, or hardcore Potterheads - here are five of the best Harry Potter games you should check out while waiting for Hogwarts Legacy:
The third entry is visually and mechanically the most ambitious of the "Trilogy"; moving forward, future games in the franchise took a realistic turn (minus whatever Goblet of Fire was). There are different versions of the game for each main platform, but the console version made by EA UK is where the intrigue lies.
Narratively, it follows the third year of Harry Potter's adventures, with the main plot centering around the escape from Azkaban of the infamous criminal Sirius Black. Gameplay-wise, the player's progression is tied to obtaining new items (or rather spell books in this case) by completing dungeons, followed by grandiose boss fights.
Players can also control Harry's partners-in-crime Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, who each have unique puzzle solving abilities. The game also lets players fly throughout the game's open world environments using Hedwig, Harry's owl, and Buckbeak the Hippogriff.
After a disappointing fourth entry, EA UK returned their sights to something truly ambitious with Order of the Phoenix. The fifth year in Hogwarts follows the gang as they rebel against Dolores Umbridge's diabolical rule over Hogwarts.
