The game offers a wide selection of main and secondary missions that players can complete, and these missions have their own unique story arcs. Players can also make friends with their classmates, and the more they bond, the more help players can get from them during missions.

As a Hogwarts student, players must attend classes, including Astronomy, Beasts, Potions, Herbology, Charms, and Defense against the Dark Arts. Classes have homework assignments that are necessary for learning spells and improving magical abilities. Players can learn the spells they know and love from the Harry Potter books, such as Accio, Incendio, Lumos, and Wingardium Leviosa.

In conclusion, Hogwarts Legacy is an exciting and immersive role-playing video game set in the world of Harry Potter.
