The castle at Hogwarts, where you take classes, is open for exploration. According to the website, you can also travel beyond it to both familiar and unfamiliar places.

You can create a unique persona, select a Hogwarts house, and develop magical skills by concocting potions, learning spells, and taming animals. The Harry Potter novels and movies are not adapted in Hogwarts Legacy; instead, it stays true to the lore.
