Hogwarts Legacy is the most awaited game by gamers and fans of Harry Potter novels by J.K. Rowling. Developed by Avalanche Software and Portkey Games, this game can now be played for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

When playing Hogwarts Legacy, you will forget about the real world for a moment, because you will be fully immersed in the wizarding world of Hogwarts. Here, you will be able to create a character and feel like a real Hogwarts student.

You must be curious about the timeline of this game in the Harry Potter universe, a question frequently asked by Harry Potter fans. Moreover, you also wonder why Hogwarts Legacy doesn't feature famous characters that appear in the Harry Potter film franchise. It's no wonder that Hogwarts Legacy is a hot topic discussed by Harry Potter fans.

But when does this game actually take place in the Harry Potter timeline? Check out the following explanation, guys!

What is Hogwarts Legacy?

Hogwarts Legacy is a game that promises extraordinary freedom for players to determine their path as students at the famous wizarding school at Hogwarts. This game is also the dream of every diehard Harry Potter fan coming true. This game allows players to become Hogwarts students, roam around the school and its surroundings, learn magic spells, and go on adventures. Unlike previous Harry Potter game titles, Hogwarts Legacy actually presents a game that is very fresh and full of adventure. However, don't expect to meet familiar characters in Hogwarts Legacy, unless you are very familiar with the history of the Harry Potter world.

Hogwarts Legacy in the Harry Potter Timeline

Hogwarts Legacy itself takes place in 1890, 101 years before the events of the first Harry Potter novel, the Philosopher's Stone which took place in 1991. The Harry Potter timeline is quite extensive but clearly shows where Hogwarts Legacy is, as shown in the timeline below:

• 990-1000 AD: Creation of Hogwarts 
• ~1000 AD: Salazar Slytherin leaves Hogwarts
• 1200-1300 AD: The Making of the Deathly Hallows
• AD 1890: Hogwarts Legacy event
• AD 1899: Albus Dumbledore Meets Gellert Grindelwald
• AD 1905-1945: Grindelwald Found the Elder Wand and Tries to Rule the World
• AD 1938-1981: The Rise and Fall of Voldemort
• AD 1981-1998: The Life and Timeline of Harry Potter
• 1998-2021: The Post-Harry Potter Years

Broadly speaking, the story of Hogwarts Legacy takes place in the 19th century, in the 1890s to be precise. This period was probably chosen so players could witness Goblin Rebellion live. Though of little importance to the story, these events are occasionally mentioned in chapters dealing with History of Magic lessons. Faithful readers of the Harry Potter novels may remember some famous rebel leaders such as Urg The Unclean. Even though Urg is mentioned in Hogwarts Legacy, players instead have to deal with a new goblin rebel, namely Ranrok.

Conclusion

Even though most of the characters in this game have never been heard of, let alone appeared, in the Harry Potter film series, that doesn't mean you never know about them. For example, the headmaster of Hogwarts is Phineas Nigellus Black: great-grandfather of Sirius "Padfoot" Black. The vice-principal, Professor Matilda Weasley, will also be a little familiar to fans. Sure, no one mentions their name in the Harry Potter books and films, but you don't have to look very far to realize who this new character in Hogwarts Legacy is.

Although the story and timeline of the wizarding world in Hogwarts Legacy are not as intensive and ambitious as the timeline in other novels or films, this game has a very enthusiastic fan base that cannot be ignored. The world of Hogwarts Legacy includes a young Albus Dumbledore and a Hogwarts that has never before been seen on screen, in both game and film form. Set in 1890, players will encounter characters and events that are different from the Harry Potter stories we are familiar with. Thus, this game offers a new and fresh experience for fans of the wizarding world.
