Overall, the 2018 gameplay leak appears to be trustworthy, though it only represents the game at the stage of development it was in over two years ago, which means that some of the implications drawn from the gameplay may no longer be reliable. The gameplay leak also shows some spells like Expulso, Stupefy, and Depulso being used, though their inclusion in the game will come as no surprise to Harry Potter fans. The fact that much of the the rest of the 2018 footage proved to align with the gameplay later be shown in the trailer supports this leak's validity, but it is worth noting that the details about character creation have yet to be confirmed, and that all of the footage in the early leak is likely of gameplay in early stages and therefore is subject to change until Avalanche itself confirms some key details. This includes some vital features – there appears to be a symbol representing player house, suggesting that players will be able to choose their Hogwarts house during character creation.

This makes a few other aspects of the leak which have yet to be confirmed likely.įor example, this early leak also showed what appears to be Hogwarts Legacy's character customization.

This leak has been largely confirmed – one of the creatures seen being petted by a student in the leak even appears in the Hogwarts Legacy trailer. One of the earliest Hogwarts Legacy leaks came back in 2018, showing early-stage gameplay of characters in classes, interacting with various magical beasts, and casting spells.
