I never thought I'd be so privileged to see the wonderful world of Harry Potter come to life in a video game like this. Truly a masterpiece.

The movies had several inconsistencies because they changed places and geographics with time. The developers of this game put so much effort into this and made one coherent layout. It's truly astonishing and i am in awe to be able to play this game within my lifetime. It is a work not only made for greediness and money but passion for the franchise.

They really knew their stuff. I loved the task "Follow the Butterflies". A call to Ron's complaint "Why did it have to be spiders, why couldn't it be follow the butterflies??" I love the little details and I'm only a third of the way through the game.

I think it's great that they made the buildings look less modern, seeing as the game is set 100 years before the films. Hagrids hut for instance has the makings of the little extension but isn't built yet. Amazing attention to detail!

i love how they managed to have familiar spots around the castle, but also reimagine so many aspects and make it one cohesive environment. i also love how it connects to Hogsmeade and the other small villages. Hogwarts doesn’t just feel like some solemn castle on a deserted mountainside for once. this game exceeded all of my expectations.

One of the few games, if not the only game where I prefer to walk/fly to my next destination rather than fast travel. Fantastic work with the attention to detail.

Finally a game that lives up to it's hype. The attention to detail is unreal!

I love when games are made not just for fans, but by fans. You can see they really studied and put time and effort into every little detail that we see in the game. Its amazing!

What they’ve created with this game is beyond spectacular. The Avalanche team has created something absolutely magical. It is truly heart breaking that it has been overshadowed by controversy and that those who have taken a stand to not support this amazing game will be missing out on an incredible Wizarding World experience. It shows that the creators truly love the Potterverse and have put that love into the game. This is a game by and for the fans and what Potter means to them.

The Bathroom in 14:08 isnt the one you showed in the game, but its actually replicated in-game, just unfortunate you cant actually open the chamber of secrets

At 14:20, there actually is the bathroom from the movie inside the game. It’s in the corridors near Slytherin. There’s a field guide that mentions the design of a snake on one of the faucets, and it states that “nobody knows its significance” or something along those lines.

I like how the interior of the castle in the game portrays that the castle has older and newer sections to it. The grand staircase is very medieval where as other parts feel very 1700s

The most fascinating about this is the 100 year difference made so visibly well. Hogwarts was constructed magically and Rowena Ravenclaw designed the castle free for modification. So what we see in the present days Hogwarts is actually the most updated look of the castle. We can also see the deteriorated and broken details of the exterior in the movies and it was so well designed in the game. You can see a time difference (like the missing spires of the fountain in the courtyard or the potions classroom, the bordered Latin words are more prominent in the movies, also Hagrid’s Hat which was expanded when he moved in as a groundskeeper. I love this game so much, you can tell it was built with love and passion. The amount of details in the architecture and faunas. Just mind blowing!

This is finally the game everyone wanted as a kid. This is truly the first next generation game we’ve gotten and it’s just so damn unbelievable it almost makes me emotional Scratch that I teared up

Days into the game and I still find myself taking laps around the castle just in awe. I've spent so much time exploring hogwarts I've barely paid enough attention to the rest of the open world.

I hope that they'll keep updating the game with more immersive content. I've never felt more on an adventure like in this game. Something about this game just makes me feel really happy to just play it. It's like a childhood dream come true, just like I'd have imagined it if I was a character in that world when watching the films.

Damn! The amount of work they put into this game is astounding. Every nook and cranny of the castle is perfectly re-created. I think it even looks better than the movie.

I don't regret a single penny the game cost me, the world is built with so much care and love, simply walking around is such an amazing experience. This is something I always wanted and would have killed for when I was a kid reading those books and watching the movies. I have not been this excited to explore a wolrd since Skyrim came out, it is just so damn good.

Movie 3's rendition of the castle was always my favorite, I love how many details from that they preserved.

Being a fan for 20 years has paid off. this game is a masterpiece for the fans. i feel emotional being inside the world that only fully existed in my imagination

I've never imagined in my lifetime that I'd see the amazing world of Harry Potter will be faithfully adapt into video-game. Truly a masterpiece! Well done, Avalanche devs.👌

The people that made Hogwarts Legacy knew exactly what Harry Potter fans wanted and gave it to us.

Flying a broom at night during winter is truly a heartwarming experience. The castle itself is truly a work of art and there are only better things to come from this game since it has been such a huge success even with people trying to bring it down

It is incredible what they did, the love and respect for the saga is evident, this is a love letter to the fans.

The game is truly amazing and perfect, It has been so many years without seeing a game made with love and enthusiasm; no season pass, no greedy devs, no constant in-game store bombardment. This is pure and true gamming at its finest.

I do love how some spaces are way bigger than they are in the movies, for example the gryffindor common room because it now makes more sense how 7 grades worth of people have that as their common room

The most impressive part is how Avalanche managed to weave together all these famous movie/book locations into one fully-explorable map. The movies never had to think about the actual layout of the school, how hallways and rooms connect to each other in physical space, how to actually get from transfiguration class to potions class. This game connects everything flawlessly and it all feels so nature to explore. I've put 20 hours in and I'm finally starting to know my way around the castle by memory. I'm purposely avoiding floo flames just so I can experience the school in its entirety. Well done Avalanche!!

Its amazing they were able to get so close to the movie designs, I think just the scale of the castle alone just shows how big the place really is. I had always pictured Hogsmeade as being downhill and to tucked into a valley in the mountains but the game really expanded how I pictured the topography. Also interesting that the castle wings are interconnected by open air bridges which was something I never noticed in the movies.

Never been a harry potter fan but I´ve played videogames for 30 years and I can easily see when a game is a masterpiece made with love and inspiration.

I underestimated how good this game was going to be. Everything is earned in game, good feeling gameplay/combat, great story, meaningful side quests, and the attention to detail was just superb. I couldnt put the game down for days. After 50+ hours I’ve gotten my field guide to 95% and I’m sad that I have pretty much done everything there is to do other than save a handful of beasts 😢

I like that it’s able to be simultaneously accurate to the movies and the books. It’s just the perfect balance between both…

There's an awesome nod I'm sure it's already been covered but I found it myself. Just outside the great hall in the courtyard where the entrance to dumbledores office was in past potter games and also I believe in the movies, there's a phoenix drawing on the wall symbolising the family of dumbledore and a nod to the devs acknowledging the existence of the previous location of the headmasters office.

amazing how they achieved both nostalgia and novelty at the same time.

thanks for the effort put into finding the exact location in films and game! really fun to see them compared

It's amazing how they were able to contextualize Hogwarts Castle like that let alone Hogwarts world - all while maintaining its magic and awe. It truly is amazing and I'm not even a fan like that.

They even made Snape’s storage room where he accused Harry of stealing in Goblet of Fire. It’s the little details what really puts a smile on my face.

This is actually insane. So beautiful.

I like how some things are intact in the game while in the movies it’s more weathered or outright destroyed. Really sells the vast amount of time that has passed

Absolutely loving this game, this is probably the best game Ive played built off a well loved franchise. The developers have nailed that magical world feel and for a team that have never done a big game like this they should be damn proud of themselves for what they've achieved. Is the game perfect? No, But it is still an absolute joy to play and I really hope we see a sequal set just before Harry potters years at hogwarts or just after.

I’m in awe. I spend most time on this game finding points of interest. It’s crazy the detail they put into it all. Even details such as things that are different due to it being 100 years prior to movies

Really shows how much the original set designers nailed the movie Hogwarts. The game just takes it a step further with inspiration from the book. But other than lord of the rings I don't think anyone nailed a fantasy setting this well since in movies.

The amount of work and details they put in this game is astonishingly incredible ! This is a masterpiece

I love the attention to detail on the game!! Sometimes I just stop and look at every little thing, I’m also just a sucker for Victorian architecture as well.

When I see the game graphics I'm impressed and full of admiration. When I see it for real, I am enchanted and want to be there immediately.

This man is adding so much valuable content on this channel, that it’s making this my favourite channel. 👏🏻👏🏻

I bought this on a physical disk to resell it after i rush to the main campaign while I wait for psvr2 to release within a week - hell I don't want to play anything else now. The details, the world ... WOW this is a master piece. This video prooves it. AWESOME WORK both devs and this youtube channel for this video

They done a phenomenal job. I was blown away when I explored around the castle. It still puts me in awe when I see it after playing for several days. Amazing job they exceeded expectations.

My main issue is that I wish the great lake and dark forest were expansive and sprawling like they are in the films. You can see at 4:02 to 4:20 that they are both greatly diminished and it takes a lot away from the surrounding landscape (which is a big part of Hogwarts).

I am blown away. Loving the fact i discover new places and immediately remind myself scenes from the movies.

I am playing Hogwarts Legacy on PC at 1440p max settings, and it is down right drop dead gorgeous. Not to mention the painstaking attention to detail and sheer scale of it all. Impressive to say the least, down right mind blowing at best. Love this game! Edit: Also, one more thing, I am glad I chose Hufflepuff first go, cause I got to visit Azakaban! Such a very creepy and eerily place, such great use of lighting and shadows!

14:06 - that bathroom is actually in the game, near the Slytherin common room entrance. There is even a field guide page in there that references the chamber of secrets.

the amount of detail they put in this game is breathtaking the only other game that caputres the same amount of details was read dead redmpiton witch to me one of the greatest game ever made but yeah this as much as I have seen is very close to it ... i just hope they add more stuff to this in the future fix some bugs maybe add some more npc interactions in the sequel if we ever get a sequel to this game in few years from now ...

Seriously - WELL DONE! Great research, great screen compares.

I was looking for comparison like that, thanks 😁

You should've shown the Quidditch Pitch from Chamber of Secrets, when it had the House colors and stuff like in the game

MAN, THIS MAKES ME HAPPY!

The attention to detail in this game is literally breathtaking. I am more than surprised every time i jump on to play.

What a wonderful video!! Thank you for putting this together!

Es simplemente impresionante lo que Avalanche studios ha logrado con este juego

They actually made it better than the movies! Extraordinary!

The attention to detail is amazing!! Can't wait to play this game.

Ich musste 30 Jahre alt werden um in den Genuss eines solch liebevoll gestalteten Harry Potter Spieles zu kommen. Ich könnte weinen, sowas schönes habe ich mir immer erträumt damals als Kind. Vielen Dank an die Entwickler für solch ein Meisterwerk

It feels so wholesome to see a game made with pure passion

I loved running around the castle exploring it looks amazing, I am hoping that if they do DLC you can explore places like Gringotts and Diagon Alley

Thank you so much for this! I love it.

It's surreal the creators of Hogwarts Legacy really brought to life the breathe and atmosphere of the castle. It's lively and very beautiful in detail, it alone sets the tone for the entire game!

Increíble este juego , con ansias de poder jugarlo hoy

A developer's love story to the IP. It shows.

This is a work of art! So much thought and thoroughness and love put into creating it. Thank you to developers for this amazing experience. My 10 year old self could have never imagined we’d have such privilege

Excellent views, but just a note: The girl's bathroom near the slytherin common room is the bathroom with the chamber of secrets... it even has a note for you to find about it. And it looks more like the movie version!

I like the greeny blue colour balance they use in the film. I wonder if someone will make a "Harry Potter movie reshade" mod.

Hats off to the makers. Absolutely amazing job. Unbelievable. I can walk these halls myself. Childhood memories come to life. I'm going to read the books again having this sharp image of the castle in my head. Thank you!

The detail to this video game is amazing. I don't play it but I've watched hours of others playing it. Awesome!

Great stuff. I am guessing its possible for some things to have changed over time, so its great to see it the same or about 90%. That gives me the feeling that some things about Hogwarts will change over time making it feel more alive and immersive.

I prefer the designs of the movies (half blood prince was probably my favorite design) over the game, but it’s still so impressive to look at and explore in a game

I didn't realise that the clock tower courtyard looked so damaged in the movies. Interesting. I definitely prefer the castle in the game. It just makes more sense, the grand staircase being round in the game for example. It is in the big main round tower, that never made sense in the movies as it was square.

Thank you for the maker of this masterpiece… i loved it .. i hoping there HL2

It’s really amazing how much attention to detail the artists put into this

I wish they would do a VR tour and put it on Steam and Meta. I've been taking 360 photos using Nvidia Ansel and putting the pictures on my VR headset. Very cool and immersive to inject yourself into the world. Too bad they are just static images though.

fico feliz, eles realmente entregaram oq prometeram

i am so hyped to walk through the moving staircase and the big hall. aaaaahhhh very thankful for the game

It's perfect!! I'm not gonna lie, I was really skeptical because I've seen many games fail in the past, but wow!! I'm surprised by this one. It's amazing what they did. I have to play it now.

The nice thing is that since the castle is magic and always changing, all differenced can be ruled as changes from the 1800s to present.

I don't know what it is but this game has me so immersed, If I turn off all my lights and have my headphones on I feel like I'm part of a film and within this glorious universe.

this is the first game design in a while that I’m in love with completely. I’m in love with every little touch and every detail that they incorporate into this game, can’t wait to play it in November on Nintendo Switch

6:02 that rainy scene with the head masters office makes Hogwarts feel so cozy. That would be the best place to watch a thunderstorm from and smoke some magic herb

The developers created the most magical game i have ever played seeing hogwarts in "person" and being able to explore every inch of it made me so happy and riding a hippogryph for the first time was amazing this game is so beautiful from the beautiful nature to amazing arcatecture its legit everything i dreamed of

Me gusto el nuevo Hogwarts pero me quedo infinitamente con el de las peliculas y los juegos de la orden y el principe que tan bien y fielmente representaron al castillo

blown away at the tiny details...like the shops in hogsmeade are like full of stuff and people etc. just insane

I have to non-stop adult till the start of summer due to work and these videos are like torment to me! This looks amazing.

Seems like some of the interiors and exteriors in Hogwarts Legacy are actually bigger than in the movies. Notice the difference in side walls in the Great Hall being further away than in the movies!

Se nota muchísimo que en las películas, aunque es espectacular la recreación, no es más que eso... una maqueta recreada con zonas sospechosamente pequeñas, que hacen pensar que directamente no se puede acceder de ninguna forma. Es muy visible en el 0:50 ya que en la torre de la derecha, que tiene las 3 torres pequeñas, si nos fijamos en el tamaño de las ventanas, en la escena de la película, se puede apreciar que esas torres tienen un tamaño ridiculamente pequeño. En cambio en el juego, las pequeñas torres son mas grandes, dando a entender que realmente una persona puede visitar sin problemas las torres. Como debe ser. Un trabajo espectacular, tanto del juego como el currazo que tiene hacer este vídeo. Saludos!

Gracias por el video :') La música estaba espectacular también. Que felicidad que hayan lanzado este juego y que los desarrolladores se hayan esforzado tanto.

Amazing video amazing to see the comparisons. But where is the background music from?

The game world looks more detailed than the movies, which is very impressive!

INCREIBLE.

the level of detail with the castle and castle grounds is astounding

Amazing!

The Hogwarts in Hogwarts Legacy has its own merit. I love that they did not totally recreate the caste based on the movies like the previous games but totally revamped and created a better version of it. I love the new gardens and the grand staircase and the central hall. Basically everything. It's much better than the movies

Sick how Real it all looks.! Some ingame stuff is even better then the real thing .
