I don't get it. If they want continued income make some freaking DLC and sell it. 90% of us are chomping at the bit to buy it.

This is so weird, most companies are dying to sell dlc and here we have an absolutely massive audience, credit card in hand with nothing to buy

I want a reason to hang around the common rooms more! They're so beautiful, but after the tutorial you never need to go there again. Even if you simply get an XP boost (like in Cyberpunk) for going back there to sleep would be cool!

I think the ability to change the Season when you beat the game would be awesome.

I wouldn’t even be upset if we didn’t get a dlc, but the sequel should be be way bigger considering all the money they made

I want so badly for their to be a sneaking around hogwarts at night mode. 😭 I’d love it so much and always threw me off that you can walk around the castle freely at night. It was always a huge part of Harry Potter books/movies that you need to sneak around the castle at night 😭

The real DLC was the friends we made along the way 😭

A morality system, our decisions should have impact on the story.

I would like to be able to change seasons after the main story/in new game+

I can’t help but wonder if potential DLC expansions were pulled back to restructure them into live service content. I really hope that’s not the case, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

Ya know I’d actually want to go to more of the classes and have the option to do things like study sessions with the characters. Give a reason for the library and common rooms as well as the characters that don’t have quests of their own or are minor characters in other characters quests

I really don’t understand why we dont have a DLC yet, the game is over a year old and everyone was asking and is asking and waiting for a DLC… they don’t like money?

I know it doesn't make sense with the timeline, but the Chamber Of Secrets is something I keep hoping to explore.

We need to be able to talk to the ghosts such as The Bloody Baron The Grey Lady, and Nearly Headless Nick. But also be able to have conversations with Peeves the Poltergeist. I'd love to pull pranks with Peeves

They should add another collection: chocolate frog cards

One little adjustment would be when you wait for a quest, instead of laying down on the ground you, instead, crawl out of the nab sack. Use the ladder climb animation. It would be more wizardling.

I’m still hoping for some kind of romance add-on. I know plenty of players are swooning over Sebastian, but I’d love to see characters like Natty, Ominis, Gareth, and Imelda be available for romance.

Definitely needs NG+ and a harder difficulty. It doesn’t have to make sense for the story, it never does for any other game. But it always improves the gameplay

They’re passing up so much money 😭 everyone’s dying to pay for a big DLC

Have a check list of all the enemies you have used ancient magic on, so you know which enemies are missing for you to find so you can complete the achievement for the game

To be honest, I really need to see that studio perform for all the truckloads of money we gave them. A photo mode and a ~15-minute sidequest ain't gonna cut it for me.

Sitting. All I want is to replay this game over again and actually take the visuals and interactions in properly by sitting. I won’t have to angle my character in specific positions just to see stuff going on in the background. So yeah, as mad as it seems. I’m just excited to be able to SIT in this game the most. In real life I’m a people watcher and for a hobby all I do is just sit somewhere and watch people. It’s like a form of meditation to me. And I learn a lot of new information through just slowing down in my life and taking the time to just sit and watch experience itself happening. It might be weird to people but that’s just me. It’s who I am. It’s what I love to do.

For a small update new game+ is a must have and to have a companion or even a pet to aid you in battle (e.g mongrel/or spider) to have your own house elf (that you can design) that you can sell any excess items to. For a big update to be a amimagus would be good , to battle the equivalent of death eaters , to have your own house, have the option to become a dark lord so ashwinders become allied and normal wizards are foes

It would be nice to get some new physical features to choose from for our character. It sucks when you create your character only to realize that half of the random characters in the game have your exact same face or hairstyle or whatever. It would also be cool if we could alter the color of our clothes. For example: there’s a really cool blue hat that I like, but I only wear it when I am playing as my Ravenclaw character to go with the blue color scheme.

making the difficulty higher isn’t gonna solve the fact the enemy AI is ass

I want to see savable spell set layouts. This would make it easier to swap out your vaverium spells for combat spells or whatever way you like it. The ability to save gear load outs as well would be nice. This way you could quickly load your gear with specific traits for specific missions and not accidentally sell them.

I really want us to get the gaunt manor quest we were suppose to get! They can release it DLC wise!!

I am currently working on a Founders Audiodrama Project so something that I have found extraordinarily helpful is just the world itself in Hogwarts, whenever I'm like where is this or what does this look like I'd simply pop the disc on hop on my Broom, Hippogriff, or Thestral and head to said location and then I'd have a better understanding so getting a Photo Mode would be a ton of help, weather we be up in the air or down on the ground a Photo Mode is my top choice.

Getting a free update instead of a paid dlc isn't good news. If I had to choose between the 2. I would much rather get the more effort and much bigger paid dlc.

Idk if anyone has said this yet but I think you made a really good decision making this a primarily Harry Potter channel. I know you’ve loved doing other game content and hope you still can, but tbh I was addicted to your videos leading up to the HL drop and seeing ALL of this new Harry Potter content (outside of HL too) has been making me excited to see your videos show up in my feed daily. I think most potter heads agree that you are a worthy creator to listen to (up there with the potter collector imo). Thank you for being around man.❤

Honestly, just the ability to like sleep on your bed, sit on anywhere available, go to classes and have some companion, are some simple updates that I would love to see. For me these are BIG addition lol. As simple as that.

Free DLC is nice but it just guarantees that it's going to be small things that inevitably make us ask, "Why wasn't this in the game to begin with?" And that live-service Harry Potter game announcement is not good news at all. There are too many live-service games and only a handful of them are of decent quality. They should be focusing all these resources into making Hogwarts Legacy 2. The existence of this live-service project does not bode well for the possibility of a sequel.

Honestly if they add new character opinions and spells that were showed but available to the character, and new clothing items that would be great.

Another showcase would be nice! Especially if a certain content creator was invited!

The two things I would most like to see is a revamp of the character creator. Even Everquest back in the day would let you make a more unique looking character, HL is pretty much cookie cutter with a small choice of tweaks, the PC doesn't look much different than the background npcs and the main npcs look much better with textures and animations. Definitely needs more voice choices that don't sound so metallic and tinny. The second thing is the removal of the tedious and dull lockpicking minigame. They can have three levels to the Alohomora spell without making people sit through that thing over and over, and over, and over, and over, and... It just breaks the immersion and flow of the game. It's supposed to be a wizarding world, not a locksmithing world.

The game was fun for the most part. 100% it twice (Slytherin and Ravenclaw) and got the achievement for getting the other 2 House characters to the 'split' point. However, the game overall - story, characterization, villains, and background lore, was underwhelming and fell away quickly to collectathon 'gameplay'. There desperately needed to be a companion system, and companions interacting with each other (Sebastian and Ominis style), meaning behind which House the MC is in as well as interactions with the common rooms (especially since those were some of the best locations in the game), more interactions with the teachers, and more engrossing explanation and revelation over what the dark power was, how it was used, and what the MC's power was and how it was used. Over the last year since launch, the developers should have been dropping minor updates (paid or not) that included some of the mini games listed in the video that involved the companions and other named students and teachers. Though removing Quidditch was a definite problem, (the bigger problem is the fairly terrible stand alone game they're making instead), it would have had little to no connection to the main storyline, so it's absence if negligible. The game's ending needed work as it seems incredibly unfinished and just hits a roadblock that simply states "The End (?)" Unfortunately it has no connecting or continuing threads with any of the companions, the MC, the Guardians, nor the dark power itself to anything that could be considered HL2, if it even has anything to do with the original other than the school. Hogwarts Legacy 2 had better include most if not all of these things at launch. Now that the main cast are older (or are all new) romance would be a good idea to introduce as well, of course to its own tasteful limits as they are still teenagers. The exploration of 'dark emotions' in spellwork would be such a huge jumping off point that seemed to overshadowed by 'big end boss fight.'

I dont know why "additional updates" makes people theorize whole new locations and gameplay like Quidditch. The most Im hoping for is: -new clothes -immersive NPC clothing, so make them wear winter clothes during winter, when outside of the castle make them wear casual clothes instead of uniforms -loadouts, (you can see a theme here lol) letting us create outfits we can more easily switch between instead of individually swapping every piece everytime you switch between dungeon crawling, back to class etc. Like Retro I would also like to see the CrossedWands make a reappearance and update. Its honestly more baffling than almost anything else missing since its ALREADY in the game. Why isnt there more duels / dueling clubs?

I wish they would update the part when you make your character

The free update is the ps5 exclusive quest (to all consoles) lol… maybe photo mode and some small tweaks like ng- small update spells actually hitting npcs seems small- they run away lol

i would love to see longer challenges and the max level to 60

If they could just add so we can SIT on chairs/beds/sofas that would be the icing on the cake for me because I just wanna sit and watch students go by while drinking tea. Like come ON, we can DRINK TEA why can’t I sit down 😭

Brilliant bit of editing there at 4:46, very clever

So here’s the thing, dlc isn’t necessarily separate downloadable content. Depending on the update, that could also be seen as dlc. If they add features and quests that weren’t a part of the base game before, that would technically class it as a dlc. Sure it’s still an update but it’s also new downloadable content that you install through an update of a base game. And it’s not the first time something like this has happened either. The more prime example of a dlc update I could think of is with dragon ball xenoverse. The way it is now versus how it was before they released these new features that are now part of the main game is completely different. They’ve added more missions, transformations, skills, super souls, game modes and more over the years. And they’ve done so through updates that they’ve launched around the same time as a new dlc drop. So to say we won’t be getting dlc for hogwarts legacy isn’t entirely accurate. This could just be the start of something bigger. This could lead to larger expansions for the game that offer an entirely new story that takes 20+ hours or it might not. Only time will tell but I still remain hopeful.

Sounds like WB has no apatite to continue with single player games. There's is more money in live service and mobile game.

Like with Game of Thrones they should do prequel spin-off TV Series on The Marauders Hogwarts Legacy and Hogwarts Mystery before the main Harry Potter storyline.

For a NG+, I just wouldn't mind if it let us keep our level, cosmetic items (wand handles and clothing for appearance only) and talent points. I would say no to money, gear and spells

Hopefully the new features includes the ability to toggle Day/night Weather Season

i'd love to see the option to enroll in continues classes and or just learn more spells such as aquamenti and a patronus and they could add dementors

Would've liked to see different colours for spells depending on your wand choice in the game.. I know it probably wouldn't be easy to implement, but say have a bright yellow/red for basic attack with a phoenix core, something more silvery with a unicorn core etc., just so there's more reason to actually choosing your wand setup in the beginning of the game other than what you see in hand

Small update I would like; being able to use any hippogriff, thestral or graphorn you catch as your mount. They already have the models after all shouldn't be too hard.

The fact it's free tells us something too. If it were big like a story expansion, it would be paid content. The fact it's free means it's either small or something that should have been there from the beginning. Aka, speaking to characters freely which was in the game files, the haunted hogsmeade quest and maybe sitting too. Not expecting new settings or Quidditch.

For flight controls I switch keyboard and mouse. Mouse left click/hold for slow forward and define direction and W down S up. That has worked reasonably well for me but I've never been very good at all at flight when rushed so I'd hate trying to master a quiditch game. I have a hard enough time just beating Imelda and have had to take the easy out a couple of times to progress the story.

If they want people like me to come back they need to add something like a new game plus mode. Whether it’s just allowing using to have all inventory slots and transmogs and clothings unlocked, and whatnot but just not the spells. Or just do what Spider-Man 2 just did and allow us to to have the stuff but still do missions. Like the venom suit isn’t unlocked till half way through the game but you can start with it in the start of the game. So it can be done or something can be done about adding that and adding skipping cut scenes and skipping the main training part of the start of the game and just start at hogwarts being introduced.

Great insight again

honestly, I would just love more verity in carecter creation, more options when it came to inital wand apparence, as for something bigger, it would be awesome if different wand materials and specifications had actual in game effects, like the different cores would make certain spells bigger aoe, or more damage, or better protection / healing or less cd. This is something established in the lore that unique wand elements tends to have differing effects, and would add a lot to makeing every charecter feel more unique and add to the replayability (and harder difficulty would be nice, game is yoo easy on the hardest of diffculites)

I have a feeling the free update will fix some bugs, add the hogsmeade play station quest, and possibly some spells that we see dark wizards use in the game like that flame pillar spell. Maybe another magical animal or two, and likely that's it if its free. I cant in good faith see too much more than that.

I miss looking for witch and wizard cards. I kind of miss using stink pallets and dungbombs.

Guess the "additional content" is going to be the exclusive PS5 content for rest of the platforms, a photomode and a "season" change toggle setting so you can switch from Spring, summer, fall and winter and hopefully a new game+ feature.

I'm still hoping that dueling gets player matchmaking so we can go against each other, which would be amazing! Low expectations, tho...

New Game + would be amazing. I'd be more than happy to re-start the game with all my upgraded gear and broom only. No need for having already learnt all the spells.

I was mildly interested for this update. I was not expecting too much, and it seems I was about right about that. Don't get me wrong, I really like the game. I just was not expecting much for expansion or add-on DLC's. But they dropped a huge bomb with the suggestion of a Live Service game. I bloody detest Live Service games, because most are launched incomplete (we can add stuff later, because of Live Service), and riddled with Loot Boxes, Casino stuff and other monetization. On top of that - Most Live Service games end up of being a failure, and get closed down because of too little players. But my biggest gripe is that Live Service game and Single Player games do NOT mix in 99,99% of the times. Do I need to say that I do not like the ideas those guy's have at all? Like - Hey, all the previous Live Service games failed? Let's try it again. Surely it will go great this time... Right? Right?

Allow to stack conjuration items on top of each other, cast other spells while mounted on my broom, or even fight battles on my broom.

Sit-down Maxima.

They really just need to use HL as a base and do the entire series with an expanded lore. There is nothing wrong with OG series, the Lego games are great, and them being redone would be nice as well, but the whole series in a game would be epic and could even charge twice as much as a regular game and people would play it. Then WB would see the proof in the pudding and do a legit LOTR game as well.

Tbh a small update I hope they do is some more options to customize your character Also yes crossed wands needs to come back

I just want a consequence of travelling around the school at night such as detention or more classes, like talk a class 3 times to learn a new spell

The one thing I really, really would greatly appreciate their adding right now would be allowing me to finally use my wolf patronus. If I get that, I'll be absolutely delighted.😊

Probably new cosmetics, nothing more. Sitting is more than a small update. That would require animating and doing so with every different chair maybe even engine changes, no idea. Definitely going to be something a lot more simpler.

Maybe online multiplayer to have co-op play with someone around the world

When does the update come out I want a date

I don't know much about DLC, cause most of my games I own don't have that. If its something of the Additional Content in the main menu, I want all the equipments from the pre-order and deluxe eddition. I have the standerd set, but months later the gear, mount, and battle arena from DE became available through that, but not the dungeon. So, is that what DLC is?

Being able to perform emotes would be cool

I know this might be odd, but I think they should implement sleeping. Like instead of just going to the map to get to the next day, have you have to go all the way back to your room and sleep to get to the next day.

I want the NPC students to dress up in terms on seasons... So in winter and fall there should be scarfs around their necks. Would be great too if they can don't put on robes all the time specially in summer. These small things would make them feel more "human" just like in the movies.

Quest selection/ replay

I’d actually like to be able to clean up and design my shop. Or a few new spells

I'm with you, Retro... give me a full-featured photo mode so I can take those sweet vista shots. 📸

I wouldn’t be too upset if there was no dlc, so long as they added more stuff to do after the game is over… New game plus, attending classes after the main story even if they’re basic, changing seasons, being able to sit down, sleep, and for God sake, MAKE THE STUDENTS SLEEP IN THEIR DORMS AT NIGHT

We need the ability to interact with furniture ( sit on chair, sleep in bed, hang out by the fountains etc) basically more rp elements.

I hope they add more mounts cause the hippogriff, graphorn, and trestral isn't enough hopefully they give us a dragon mount, and kelpie mount🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Unforgiving difficulty: dark wizards know and use unforgivable curses Playing with the enemies enhanced mod right now, and knowing that the ashwinder duelist can AK me if i am not on my game with dodging makes for extremely tense combat. Also, when my character says something like "I defeated an ashwinder, sebastian will never believe this" it makes a bit more sense. In the base game, it doesnt make any sense. You wade through ashwinders like theyre nothing. When they can one-shot you, the surprise feels more earned.

isn't there already a photo mode, i mean i play on pc and i can take photos ...

I would like to see that we can play and chat with other players. And team up with other players against the strong enemies. Maybe let us have a dragon mount too like the heiberdian black we rescued.

I just hope for more mounts

0:32 - Maybe I’m being an example of what Luke Stephens says is getting overhyped, but: 1) I worked at an Apple Store and one of the sayings was “Under promise, overdeliver.” Maybe they are doing the same because 2) There have been far too many games that were way overhyped and were then received horribly. I think regardless of what they have in store, it’s smart to play it calmly for now. 3) Or “small” was sarcasm without the quotations. Which perhaps was intentionally vague or not.

Hey brother I completely agree on what you're saying but I really hope that in a small update they could add New Game Plus and not only that but also we can use the Elder wand because even if they don't do a DLC they can still put it in the game because you're pretty much able to use it it's just locked in one certain way in the story so I really hope that does happen because other than modding that's the only way you're able to actually equip it and use it so I crossed my fingers very hard for that to happen between now and next year👀

I forgot to add this in my last comment if new game plus doesn’t work out because of how you get certain spells than how about one of the free dlc updates is increasing the amount of characters you can create

O love to see the broom special effect trails to be turned off

If they did a new game + i could see it as a time turner mishap leading into some kinda alternate universe or something

I want to see more quest and very good items

I would like to see new robes and new wands like to have even visiting the Chamber of Secrets

Co-op missions would of been mint 🤘🏻

What about multiple player across platforms

Love to see the weather to look better the dynamics weather so looks like the msr Rainy Day trailer let us see the rain to look more in depth because I barely even see rain at all like the appearance of rain that makes sense like the water droplets coming from the sky is very faint very transparent

Difficulty upgrades. Even at hardest difficuly. 2 or 2 hits and any opponent is dead. I didn't even enjoy any mini boss fights cz they were too easy cz i did all little missions i came across

Fix the stealth abilities. They are incredibly underwhelming

I am not usually a fan of live service games, but if that is the only way to implement multiplayer (mainly so my daughter and I can play together), then I am all for it.

I agree with wanting to sit on things, but why not add some more small emotes, like picking up cats, laughing, being afraid, joking around, dancing,.... so many options come to mind. 🐈

Probably sitting, like you said…have to keep expectations low

For Hogwarts Legacy I’m currently hoping that , there’ll be a newer Hidden House for us to find or to be put into to live in. Kinda like having us to our characters hands like for casting our magics. But also being more opened to finding for newer magic spells , but also being more opened for discovery. But also to have us to grow our own magic spells. And also being more opened to finding for reagents , but also being more opened to finding the inner witch and wizards that we all are.
