Known as 'Cyberpunk 2077's' biggest fan, Angharad is a Welsh games writer who thrives in anything related to digital storytelling. If a video game explores the intricacies and horrors of womanhood, she is there.

Thanks to previous work at GAMINGbible, GameByte, The Loadout, Game Luster, Angharad has built a strong understanding of both the digital world and what fans want from it and is eager to share her thoughts and expertise with readers.

At long last, the first official trailer for HBO's Harry Potter was unveiled overnight, giving us a glimpse at the actors who will be taking on the iconic roles, as well as the magical setting of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Adapting the story first written by J.K. Rowling, the television series is expected to air for seven seasons, and will once again follow Harry Potter as he dives head first into a world full of magic.

Hogwarts Legacy 2 Will Tie In To The New Harry Potter Show

In recent months, reports suggested that HBO's Harry Potter will collaborate with Avalanche Software's Hogwarts Legacy sequel. Despite the two stories taking place over a century apart, its creators are finding ways to tie the worlds together, and it seems that the one way to achieve this is through Hogwarts itself.

As spotted by eagle-eyed fans, the brand-new Harry Potter trailer shows us the new-and-improved castle, but rather than being an exact replica of the one that served as a base in the Harry Potter movies, it has seemingly taken inspiration from the castle design found in Hogwarts Legacy instead. In the 2023 RPG, players were able to explore the school like never before by gaining access to corridors and rooms that were never seen in the movie franchise. As such, its developers had to think about exploration when it came to its design, and it seems as though HBO has continued with this layout when it comes to the upcoming television show. Although the trailer did not show us an overhead shot of the castle, we did get to see some of the iconic areas, such as the entrance hall and the Gryffindor common room, and Hogwarts Legacy fans will definitely be able to see where the inspiration came from.

Will Hogwarts Legacy 2 Adapt This Version Of The School?

HBO's decision to incorporate Hogwarts Legacy's magical school into its television adaptation begs the question as to what this could mean for the highly anticipated Hogwarts Legacy sequel. Although the two stories cannot intertwine as easily, thanks to the 100-year time gap, its iconic locations can take inspiration from each other. However, with HBO's Harry Potter expected to air in 2027, whilst there is still no news on when we can expect Hogwarts Legacy 2, it may be quite a while until we see just how far this collaboration goes.
