Hogwarts Legacy is one of the biggest deep dives into the Wizarding World we have seen taking us back to before the original movies. But, there is virtually a whole new selection of Hogwarts Legacy characters that have never appeared before in the series.
Whether it is new teachers at Hogwarts or students who can become one of your Hogwarts Legacy companions, Hogwarts Legacy will put a lot of different people in front of you. And, you can choose to engage with them as much or as little as you want as you craft your own legacy at Hogwarts. Below, you can find all of the key Hogwarts Legacy individuals you will meet and interact with in the story which we discovered in our Hogwarts Legacy review.
Natsai Onai
Natsai is a fellow student at Hogwarts and a member of Gryffindor. They will accompany you throughout the game and also join you as a companion at times. They are described as “a brave adventurer driven by the justice she seeks”.
Poppy Sweeting
Poppy has “a kind heart and loves magical beasts”. They are able to connect with them more than with humans. Poppy also is another fellow student at Hogwarts and is a part of the Ravenclaw house.
Sebastian Sallow
Sebastian is your resident troublemaker, always sneaking around Hogwarts and up to mischief. This shouldn’t be too much of a surprise given that they are a member of Slytherin, but Sebastian has a family secret hidden from view.
Amit Thakkar
Amit is a Ravenclaw student who is friendly and welcoming. He is a focused individual who aims to be a historian one day and focuses on mostly learning and discovering the history of the wizarding world.
Phineas Nigellus Black
Phineas Nigellus Black is played by Simon Pegg and is a cantankerous ancestor of Sirius Black. He is the headmaster of Hogwarts during the Hogwarts Legacy setting and time period.
Matilda Weasley
An ancestor of Ron Weasley and a member of Gryffindor, Matilda is the deputy headmistress in Hogwarts Legacy and crucial to your initial first days in Hogwarts. She will show you around and get you up to speed with everything you need to know.
Professor Eleazar Fig
Eleazar Fig is a professor at Hogwarts and will play a key role in the main story of Hogwarts Legacy, as he is investigating the rumours surrounding a Goblin rebellion.
Professor Abraham Ronen
Abraham Ronen is the Charms teacher in the time in which the game is set and is quite aloof, albeit charismatic and a fan of fun games to liven up his classes. He has perhaps the most novel way of teaching out of all the teachers.
Professor Dinah Hecat
Dinah Hecat is the stern, but often sharp-witted teacher of the Defence Against The Dark Arts. She has an active teaching style, often involving the students and having them duel and face threats as she teaches them.
Professor Mirabel Garlick
Mirabel is the herbology professor at Hogwarts and struggled to find her place in the world before joining the school as a student. Her friendly and warm presence will undoubtedly brighten up any student’s day.
Professor Aesop Sharp
Aesop Sharp is the potions teacher in Hogwarts, informing you of how to make different potions and concoctions for your journey outside Hogwarts.
Professor Satyavati Shah
Professor Shah was also raised by Muggles like Mirabel. But now she teaches Astronomy and has a deep love of science and its explanations for how the world works.
Professor Kandace Onai
Kandace is the mother of Natsai Oni and transferred to Hogwarts from the largest Wizarding school in Uganda alongside her daughter. She teaches the art of Divination at Hogwarts.
Deek
Deek is a house-elf at Hogwarts and will be the person who introduces the player to the Room of Requirement within the game.
Nearly Headless Nick
Nearly Headless Nick, or Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, will once again be floating around Hogwarts. It isn’t clear yet how big of a role he will play.
Cuthbert Binns
Cuthbert never appeared in any of the movies, but he will appear as a spirit within the game. He is a long-serving professor who teaches the History of Magic, even after his death.
Ranrok
Ranrok is seemingly one of the main antagonists in Hogwarts Legacy. He appears to be leading a Goblin rebellion against wizards within the main story.
Victor Rookwood
Victor Rookwood appears to be another antagonist in the game. Victor is a Dark Wizard who has seemingly allied himself with the Goblins.
That covers all the Hogwarts Legacy characters. As you can see the cast is vast and you will undoubtedly have your favourites while playing. You’ll be learning some of the Hogwarts Legacy best spells during your Hogwarts Legacy classes and lessons, so pay attention.
Hogwarts Legacy has drawn considerable criticism during its development, largely due to the fact that the creator of the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling, has made a number of transphobic remarks on social media in recent years.
While Avalanche has confirmed that J.K. Rowling is not “directly involved” in the development of Hogwarts Legacy, it is working with “her team” and Portkey Games, a Warner Bros. label dedicated to launching new experiences inspired by J.K. Rowling’s original stories. It is currently unclear whether she will earn any royalties from the game’s sale, but it is likely given it is based on her original body of work.
