Hogwarts Legacy is expected to be a top-selling video game in 2023. Although many players patiently wait for the game to be released, excitement builds as they decide which house to join and what direction the story will take.
If Hogwarts Legacy does well, it could lead to a sequel, which could mean Albus Dumbledore makes an appearance. Even though the old wizard is now the headmaster of Hogwarts, he started as a member of the Gryffindor house.
The events of Hogwarts Legacy are timed in a way that would allow for a sequel to focus on Dumbledore’s school years, giving fans a chance to discover more about the revered wizard.
The Timeline of Hogwarts and Dumbledore’s Life Overlap Significantly
Many aspects of Hogwarts Legacy (New Cinematic Trailer) make it feel like it could finally be the Harry Potter video game that fans have been yearning for. On the other hand, it won’t happen while Harry and his pals are still in school. Instead, the game takes place in the nineteenth century, around 1890, to be exact.
The lack of Harry Potter’s participation means that the game can tell its plot and introduce new information about Hogwarts and the wizarding world. The Fat Lady in the painting and Nearly-Headless Nick, the Gryffindor ghost, are two of the characters that fans might remember.
It may surprise some fans that Dumbledore is old enough to have lived through the events of Hogwarts Legacy, even if they know that he is an elderly wizard. If the events of Hogwarts Legacy took place when Dumbledore was nine years old, he was born in 1881.
Due to the age requirement of eleven for starting magic school, he is doubtful to appear in the game. Dumbledore and his family would have been residents of Godric’s Hollow.

Would You Like to See Dumbledore in the Next Hogwarts Film?
It would make perfect sense to have the old wizard enroll as a freshman in Hogwarts Legacy 2, which takes place a few years after the original game. Many questions about Dumbledore’s childhood may be answered if this were to happen.
Players would see him get along well with Elphias Doge, who winds up being a fellow Order of the Phoenix member. Dumbledore’s reaction to the rumors about his family and his enormous magic skills that dazzled his instructors might also be portrayed in the game.
Given the game’s early success, the chances of it being the first in a series are good. Delays and demands for a Hogwarts Legacy boycott owing to the author’s transphobic sentiments are just two examples of the many controversies the game has had to face.

Despite this, it is the best-selling PS5 game on Amazon (God Of War Series) and has reached the top of Steam’s charts. This points to the game’s impending successful release, providing Avalanche Software with the springboard it needs to launch a successful series.
Hogwarts Legacy is an ambitious game that isn’t afraid to deal with the severe issues of using black magic. The deadly curse has been seen in the trailers, and the PS5-only quest set in Hogsmeade seems to bring even more sinister mysteries.
It’s not all bad news, though; players will get to tour Hogwarts castle, tame magical animals, and make friends with their classmates. They might even be able to win over Albus Dumbledore someday. The release dates for the various platforms for Hogwarts Legacy are as follows: February 10 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S; April 4 for PS4 and Xbox One; July 25 for Nintendo Switch N64 Games.
