While the author is understandably hesitant to reveal any never-before-seen tidbits Hogwarts Legacy reveals about the Wizarding World, she does promise that "the new characters and environments encountered in Hogwarts Legacy fit perfectly into the history we know and the future we know will be. One of the most important aspects of any time spent in the Wizarding World is discovery, and anyone who reads the book is going to discover how the game was well thought out." Naturally, Hogwarts Legacy is all about magic, and a good chunk of this first section is devoted to the traditional wand waving magic, as well as the ancient magic you uncover throughout your journey. Simple things like “How do the pumpkins levitate in the Great Hall?” to the inner workings of the Ancient Magic Artifacts you uncover in the game are presented in an array of artworks and renders, flanked by in-depth discussions from the likes of Boston Madsen, the Hogwarts Art Lead and Sr. Artist for Environments. One of the collectibles in the game is, frankly, knowledge. Throughout the castle lie a number of statues. These are often important figures in wizarding history, or depict aspects of everyday magical life. What makes them worth collecting is that each of them carry some tidbit about why that statue is important. Whether it’s a funny story, a historic moment, or a funny anecdote that serves as a cautionary tale, you’ll find these with the spell Revelio. I don’t normally chase down every collectible in a game, but I had to have every one of these. In this art book, we see some of them in incredible detail, including a personal favorite – the fountain that sits outside of the library.

There you will get an exclusive interview with the development team, stunning concept sketches, renders, and illustrations to experience the creation of this unique world. The Art and Making of Hogwarts Legacy takes readers on a journey through the creation of this immersive, open-world action RPG set in the world first introduced in the Harry Potter books and the films. Go beyond the game with exclusive interviews with the development team, stunning concept sketches, renders, and illustrations to explore the creation of this unique take on a beloved world. The book also contains a lot of additional details about the game’s characters and locations. Students, Hogwarts professors, enemies of the hero, the school itself, dormitories. Some parts of the artbook are a real game guide that complements what we saw in Hogwarts Legacy, because who reads these guides in the game itself. As one of our authors aptly noted recently: “I like to read, and I like to play. But I like to do them separately!”. Hogwarts Legacy itself has no Ukrainian localization, but the artbook was translated by SBT Localization, which has already translated many games and managed to get into a number of scandals related to localizations this year. But, as for me, the translation of The Art and Making of Hogwarts Legacy turned out to be very good and high-quality, and I would gladly play Hogwarts Legacy translated by SBT Localization. GO BEHIND THE GAME: Filled with behind-the-scenes fun facts and information about the game-making process, from crafting the setting to developing the gameplay - see the incredible work and talent that go into creating such an immersive gaming experience.The problem is that the same places are described in the books and shown in different parts of the movie in different ways, and moreover, the events of the Hogwarts Legacy game take place 100 years before the events of the main series of books/films, and even 40-50 years before the events of Fantastic Beasts. So the developers had to create something similar to what readers/viewers have already seen, but something different, something in a completely new era, with its own style and rules. ORIGINAL CONCEPT ART: Includes many never-before-seen pieces of beautiful concept art used to craft compelling wizarding world locations from Hogwarts to Hogsmeade, Gringotts and more. Bringing Hogwarts to life must have been a daunting task, but filling in the spaces not described by the book could have been delightfully freeing. How far is it really from Hogwarts to Hogsmead? We know the kids in the books walked there, but how long did that really take? How far to the next town in any direction? How deep are the caverns in the lake? The Environmental team at Portkey Games got to do exactly that.

Across the book, you’ll learn about the design stories behind many elements of the game - and just how much magic went into making an open-world RPG of this size and scale, predominantly set inside a labyrinthine castle.

Outside of the bedrooms lie the common rooms, and you’ll visit these periodically. It’s another area that could use a little more love, gameplay wise, but it’s very clear that the art team certainly put a TON of thought into them. Each one of the four houses sees a massive amount of effort to ensure they all feel very different from one another. The greens and dark corners of the Slytherin common room artwork is a personal favorite here.
