RELATED: One Hogwarts Legacy Flaw Would Be Tough to Improve With a Sequel Hogwarts Legacy's Protagonist is a Blank Slate It's a beat that has served Harry, Hermione, and Ron well, so not including some kind of context for Hogwarts Legacy's protagonist is a shame, as it could have benefited the story hugely. Creating a protagonist means there's little potential for a detailed and compelling backstory, delving into what their life was like at home before they got their admission letter. Putting players in the role of someone completely new allows them to role-play in a setting that is ripe for new stories and adventures, but while this has its perks, it comes at a big cost. That valor has paid off, though, as it conjured a game that is great in its own right while also doing well to compliment what has come before. Whereas the Harry Potter license has not had the best luck in gaming, it has flourished elsewhere, so when Avalanche Software struck out to add to the IP rather than adapting something pre-existing, it was a brave decision. Hogwarts Legacy had both huge shoes to fill, and a new reputation to forge.
