Key Takeaways

  • The team behind the HBO Harry Potter reboot will share storytelling connections with the Hogwarts Legacy sequel.
  • Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment president David Haddad confirmed storytelling elements in the Hogwarts Legacy sequel would transpire in the live-action series.

As a lifelong Harry Potter enthusiast who grew up with the books and movies, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and trepidation about the upcoming connections between the HBO reboot and the Hogwarts Legacy sequel. On one hand, it’s thrilling to imagine the rich storytelling elements that could be shared between these two magical worlds. But on the other, I can’t help but wonder if my beloved Hogwarts Legacy will become just another footnote in the grand scheme of the live-action series.


Fans of Harry Potter have discovered that the team responsible for the upcoming yet debatable HBO live-action remake shares a storytelling bond with the narrative in Avalanche Software’s sequel to Hogwarts Legacy, which is set to release in 2023. Hogwarts Legacy brought every wannabe witch and wizard’s role-playing dream to reality through its action RPG, offering an engaging world filled with recognizable locations, spells, and creatures for players to explore themselves, rather than just watching on the big screen or in J.K. Rowling’s book series.

Previously, Warner Bros. Discovery unveiled plans for an HBO television series based on the Harry Potter universe during a press conference in 2023, and this announcement sparked mixed reactions among fans. On one hand, some believed that the original live-action film franchise was irreplaceable, and they felt the reboot series came too quickly. On the other hand, these fans were excited about more intellectual property content to enjoy. However, a group of enthusiasts insist that Harry Potter should have an animated spin-off prior to a live-action reboot, as this approach could offer a fresh perspective on J.K. Rowling’s world without directly imitating the live-action films, much like how Hogwarts Legacy managed to do differently.

As a passionate fan, I’m thrilled to share that during an interview, David Haddad, the president of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, revealed some exciting news about the future of “Hogwarts Legacy.” It seems they’re planning to link the sequel to the HBO series! David hinted that significant storylines from the game’s sequel might unfold in the live-action series itself. The scale of the “Hogwarts Legacy” sequel remains similar, but its interconnected narrative with the HBO series could add depth and significance to the story, potentially influencing future transmedia projects due to the possibility of canon events shaping the overall universe.

Warner Bros. Confirms Storytelling Links Between Harry Potter HBO Series and Hogwarts Legacy Sequel

Because audiences are already well-acquainted with the main characters from Harry Potter, the Hogwarts Legacy sequel might delve deeper into the protagonist’s role within the wizarding world. This aspect could also be reflected in the live-action series. In essence, Haddad hinted that there isn’t much difference when it comes to being a dedicated Harry Potter fan, and the creators of these enchanting projects are striving to develop genuine experiences that will captivate them.

In every fan’s ideal scenario for Hogwarts Legacy 2, Quidditch is eagerly anticipated as it was conspicuously absent in the original game, leaving a noticeable void, much like a large broomstick-shaped gap. While Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions temporarily alleviated some of the fan’s discontent, there are numerous creative ways to incorporate this beloved magical sport into the sequel. It is almost guaranteed that HBO’s live-action reboot will feature it as well.
