We’re here to talk about Hogwarts Legacy, and to do that we need to discuss the whole mess.

But it is a bit of a strange move given the game's basis in a book series that largely treated combat as a last resort and focused most of its attention on day-to-day school life and magical antics. It's obviously not unusual for a game to feature combat or even teenage protagonists engaging in it - plenty of games do. The trailer continues with them using a number of combat spells to damage and eventually defeat (kill?) a number of other enemies, including goblins labeled "Loyalist Warriors." In this section, we see the player - who is a student at Hogwarts and thus a teenage child still - immediately perform the Avada Kedavra killing curse and straight up murder a man. But maybe the wildest part of the showcase for those keenly aware of the Harry Potter franchise is a middle segment where the player travels to the Dark Arts Battle Arena.
