Never watched a harry potter movie but i wanna play this should i ?

[User]

Not that i have an issue with harry potter world i think its fascinating but the movie and actors were a little too cringe form me so i could never get into it. But Now that i'm done with Starfield and not really enjoying mass effect legendary edition because i already experienced all of it multiple times already. So i'm thinking of picking this one up.

yes, you can buy and enjoy the game. But to understand every potion, magic trick, house, who what and where. U should watch a movie.

My understanding is there are many movies. Which one do you recommend. Or maybe a Book.

if you want to play it, play it, none of the things that happen in the movies are relevant to this game it's a unique story

Never watched the movies, so can't recommend on that, but the books are pretty good. First two are a bit of a kids story (still fun to read, but it is what it is). Third one and onward are more mature.

Has nothing to do with the potter movies/books other than the school. People that read the books will be aware of some easter eggs etc and faculty members mentioned briefly, but aside from that the story is 100% unrelated and you will fully understand what is happening.

My sister never read or watched anything Harry Potter.
But she loved the game and ended up watching the movies after beating it.

Forget the movies, go grab the books if you want to "catch up", the movies cut so much out it's not even funny.

But yea, if you can get the game to run, it's not a bad game in itself.

I read the books, saw the movies, and am about to finish this game.

You don't need to know a single thing about Harry Potter to fully enjoy this game. I'm willing to go as far as to say that you might enjoy it more. I think it would be really amazing to dive into Hogwarts Legacy without knowing almost everything to expect.

It's an amazing game on its own, without any Harry Potter relationship necessary. Play it.

I don't think you should try playing it.

I love the game, but I love it because of the movies and books. I'd probably find it a 1 off otherwise. There's not really much of a gameplay to return unless you love the lore.
