If an absolutely perfect Hogwarts isn’t enough for you, Hogsmead is just down the valley, through the castle grounds, past the forbidden forest. Want to see more videos? Subscribe to our YouTube channel! Grounds for dismissal I have been absolutely enchanted by this game since the moment it began. It feels like a never ending maze, and you’re likely to find a puzzle, side quest, or collectible around every other corner. Students mill around in their uniforms and chat. Peeves giggles hysterically as he whizzes down a passage. Stained glass windows reflect against the stone floors and the light flickers across your hair when you walk past them. Hogwarts has the four houses (and dorms, including the common rooms of your dreams), the great hall, the staircases, classes, the library, the room of requirement, dungeons, and of course, the grounds.
I haven’t found a single thing that goes against how I imagined it, if anything, the world is brighter and more alive, bursting with canon and lore. I have spent multiple hours with the game now, sometimes just staring at my screen, soaking in a world that has previously only lived (to this extent) in my imagination.
When the code landed in my inbox for review, I allowed myself to feel the hype, and for once, this adaptation, this virtual exploration into an imaginary world, has been done justice. I only watched the reveal trailer, and I’ve stayed away from the hype train and anything else about the game since then. Also, I need to be upfront and honest and let you know that Ravenclaw is the only viable house and the rest of you all suck. In other words, this franchise, the world, its lore and its characters are near to my heart, and have carried me through some tough times. I have loved Harry Potter since I first got my hands on the books many years ago, even attending midnight book releases as the rest of the series was released, and I got my first detention for being found reading Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix under my desk in Maths class.
