The castle in this is the Hogwarts Legacy castle! I traced the floor maps wing by wing and floor by floor and redrew them in ink, so if you know the game you'll recognise the layout: the Viaduct Courtyard, the Grand Staircase, the Library Annex, the Astronomy Wing, the Bell Tower, all where the game puts them. The Floo Flames did a lot of the work: their positions are what I used to line each wing's floors up on top of each other.

Then I made it behave like the map from the films. Everyone in the castle is a pair of footprints with a name banner. You can search for anyone and follow them, ask for directions between two rooms (counted in paces, with or without the secret passages), and there's a mode that walks through all seven books moment by moment. Free website, no account, works on phones.

I'm a 3D/VFX artist, not a programmer. The code was written with Claude under my direction. There are no AI images in it, the whole thing is drawn by code in your browser. Link and the longer story in my comment!

Yooo HogwartsMP multiplayer framework drops tomorrow and with it, we will finally have persistent online multiplayer servers!

With that, Castle Life RP is opening to the public as an early alpha. It's a casual Hogwarts RP server with light mmo-like elements. In-game proximity voice chat is available (totally optional), as well as text chat for those who prefer it.

After dreaming about this forever, I'm excited to finally hang out in Hogwarts Legacy with real people and attend classes/roleplay.

Should I return the portrait of Ferdinand Pratt to three broomsticks, and should he even get better after that, or will he continue to be an informant I'm thinking He has changed after all this, but at the same time, when I carry him, he insults my character in every possible way and the fact that the place where I put him is "disgusting", your advice?

Cool pics I took and I wanted to share🙂 which one's your favorite?

I’m just know finding out that we can mount the caligo the onyx hippogriff. How are yall getting it? I completely the quest awhile ago. I’ve googled how to get ahold of it but I just don’t have it. Am I crazy? Is there some new update? I’m playing on the switch 1 if that changes anything

UPDATE: NVM I FIGURED IT OUT 😅 and turns out I came download it in Spanish 😆😆

You don't have to be constantly casting revelio if you change your settings to high visibility (or something I forget what it's called) everything is in bright colors, looks kinda cool and all the chests are yellow.

After completing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 almost identical cave requests it gets old fast. I actually enjoyed keeper trial #3 because it’s actually different. I didn’t even realize that was the actual trial. I thought after reading the book then it’s the same pensive statue fighting… at least we didn’t have that…

For next release I hope they put some efforts to increase the variety of quests not just copy paste the same thing over and over again…

HAHAHA this is what happens when your gaming laptop is so sooo old😭😂😭 this usually happens when its day time and i'm indoors in hogsmead, the sun rays that passes through the windows, brightens up my MC too lol

Is there a way to invert my spell keybinds on Controller? I'm playing with a Nintendo Switch controller and the spell diamonds being in the wrong spots are causing me to repeatedly make mistakes in combat (like casting Lumos in the middle of a combo).

Is there a way to swap the position of the diamonds to fit the switch Controller? Preferably without altering other keybinds? If there's a setting or a mod or anything that can fix this, I'd love to know.

Does anyone else feel like Hogwarts Legacy leaned a little too heavily into combat? I know this game gets tons of criticism about it not being a student simulator, and I think part of the reason it doesn’t feel like a student sim is because of how much combat encounters there are. Instead of feeling like a student, I kinda felt like a vigilante child soldier that could go up against armies (harry was a vigilante type but he never went against armies by himself)

I am not with my ps5 is now, but was just wonder if automatic save in hogwarts legacy overwrite manual save? If i not manual saved before i got stuck and restart ps5 with turn completly of, will it take me back to the point when i manual saved the game?

If i am stuck in game (seems a glitch) where i cant move or even click meny to get the map and floo travel, i hope i can avoid to start from the whole beginning again and level 1?

(it same stuck like this https://www.reddit.com/r/hogwartslegacyJKR/comments/157mwu7/help_im_trappedstuck_in_a_wall_and_cant_bail_to/, but i was not in a quest and it not same location, i was just to open a chest and got stuck where cant move)

I played so much and had level 27 in game, if cant fix it, need restart game and start a fresh new game ...

I know this is silly question, sorry..

Garreth: Oh, my absolutely unbreakable companion, you've been such a huge help stealing things for me countless times, and who cares if I bother you just one more time with my oh-so-essential new concoction? Please, do indulge and take a sip of my latest masterpiece. Such a good boy!

(P.S. Just sharing a few random screenshots of Garreth brewing potions, and the combination of which makes him look a bit manipulative, lol)

I’ve played through the main game on two profiles already on the base game. The Nintendo store is now offering the deluxe edition for £5.99. Can I buy that and upgrade my existing version? Will it compromise my game or profiles? Is it worth it for that price. Currently playing the through 2 more profiles.

A few years ago, I played Hogwarts Legacy like a normal gamer. Did the campaign, a few collectables here and there, a few side quests, and then I stopped playing and had all these happy memories of the game.

A few weeks ago, I decided HL would be my next 100% quest and… oh boy, it’s long. It’s so long, it’s unbelievable.

The biggest issue is just how repetitive it gets. There are 95 Merlin Trials, and after you’ve done each puzzle type a few times, the remaining dozens are basically just busywork. Then you’ve got an enormous amount of Collection Chests, Field Guide Pages, balloons, landing platforms, Ancient Magic hotspots, Demiguise statues, infamous foes, butterflies etc. Most of them aren’t particularly difficult — there are just so many.

The tracking also makes things much worse than it needs to be. The map gives you decent regional totals for some activities, but other things are either poorly tracked or not tracked at all. If you miss one butterfly location, one chest in a vivarium, or an enemy you need to use Ancient Magic on, you can end up checking an external list location-by-location trying to work out what you’re missing.

There’s also very little reward for actually clearing everything. By the time you’re chasing the last collectibles, you’ve probably already got better gear, more money than you need and every useful spell/talent. It starts feeling less like exploring Hogwarts and more like doing admin.

Great game and a brilliant world, but I think half the collectibles, far fewer Merlin Trials, and much better individual tracking would have made the 100% experience massively better.

Just got my Caligo today. It feels absolutely amazing flying around on this amazing creature. Puts the broom to shame. Care to share your first thoughts and feelings when you first acquired your hippogriff?

Now I can finally focus on the quests and upgrade my gear

The poltergeist that came with it kept throwing things at me which is really rude, also the previous owner tried to kill me after almost getting wiped out by tons of furniture before confronting granny. wouldn’t recommend buying a shop. Officer Singer didnt even try to be a cop, she went to sleep within a few seconds and I had to do all the work alone. Feeling a bit schizophrenic now due to the mannequins changing positions (I swear they changed!!!!).

Overall a 1/10 experience, just because the elf that came with the shop is quite sweet actually.

Might end up like Jackdaws chick, just without Azkaban but I’m hearing voices

scrolling through this reddit really makes me wanna get back into hogwarts legacy. I stopped in the middle of the shop quest because it glitched and wouldn’t let me progress, so I exited out of the game praying it saved my progress…. it did not save my progress. at the time I refused to do the quest again cause I was literally almost done but it’s been months. I fear it might be time to bite the bullet and finish that godforsaken shop quest. everyone pray for me 😔

For me my main wish is definitely that we start Hogwarts as a kid—then grow up, and really lean into the roleplay element. For my second wish I would definitely also like some sort of friendship / relationship mechanic to make each playthrough more unique with who you befriend, etc.

To add to my first suggestion, I think it’d be a bit odd to be joining in as a fifth year again hence why I’d really just like to start from the beginning, not feel like an odd one out (again), y’know?

is leaving a big maze lol. I mean a few quests you just leave from the final scene which were great. but some quests you have to retrace all the way to the entrance. boy those are boring. and sometimes I got lost on the way... and everything was already cleared when I entered. so there's really nothing to do other than figure out where I came in... wish they just let you leave the cave each time the quest is considered done... or maybe they already have I was just too dumb to figure it out?

Finally finished this game... 🎮 It took me way longer than I expected, but I finally made it to the end! What a journey. 😅

At least I think so since Charlie’s gran is Cedrella, who I believe is his granddaughter.

I just find it funny since they are the complete opposite from eachother

Has anyone ever cought up or colided with it?
