Hogwarts Legacy is an unprecedented success for Warner Bros. Discovery and they plan to make the most of it. Even beyond video games. According Giant Freakin Robotone of the most popular podcasts in the industry, the game will try its hand at the world of series.
The aforementioned medium mentions that, recently, Warner Bros. Discovery gave the green light to the series of Hogwarts Legacy. Of course, although the production is already in development, it is still in an early phase. Therefore, it may take several years before you can enjoy it.
For now, it is known that the series will be set before the events of Harry Potter and fantastic animals. However, it is not clear if he will follow the same argument of Hogwarts Legacy.
Spoilers below.
If you already had the opportunity to play Hogwarts Legacy, you will know that its plot focuses on a type of mysterious magic and its repercussions in the magical world. And it is that Ranrok, the main villain of the game, intends to take control of said power to use it to his advantage. The goblin considers that the wizards have abused his position to belittle his species and, for this reason, a feeling of hatred has been born within him.
Furthermore, Ranrok finds himself in league with Victor Rookwood, who during the 19th century was a leader of the dark wizards. The adventure, of course, puts us in the feet of a Hogwarts student whose skills allow him to face Ranrok’s rebellion.
In the analysis of Hogwarts Legacy of hypertextual, we tell you that the central story, although entertaining, has little depth. Therefore, if Warner intends to adapt that same narrative into the series, he will have to dedicate efforts to further develop your characters. Both the wizards and witches who are willing to defend the magical world, as well as the villains who seek to rise in power.
The other possibility, and perhaps more feasible, is that those responsible for production dedicate themselves to creating a completely new story. Of course, respecting the same setting of Hogwarts Legacy.

It’s no surprise that Warner has decided to explode Hogwarts Legacy as much as possible. In just two weeks, the game generated $850 million worldwide.. The figure is even more relevant because the development of the title required an investment of $150 million dollars.
In total, so far, they have sold 12 million copies, but the number is expected to grow significantly from April. Because? On the 4th of that month, Hogwarts Legacy will make its debut on consoles of the previous generation. That is, PS4 and Xbox One, which continue to have a huge player base – larger than PS5 and Xbox Series X | S.
