The enchanting world of Hogwarts Legacy is set long before Harry Potter’s time, inviting players to ponder the possibilities of encountering characters from the storied past. Here’s everything you need to know.

The game promises a new chapter, yet the chance to weave one’s story alongside known figures from the franchise remains a spellbinding possibility for players.

If you want to know exactly what classic characters make appearances in Hogwarts Legacy, we’ve got you covered with a full list below.

While there is a long list of possible characters that could be present in the game somehow, with Dumbledore and Flamel joined by the likes of the Hogwarts ghosts, you’re unlikely to be running into Harry, Ron, and Hermione 100 years before they were even born.

That said, there is a very small list of characters in Hogwarts Legacy that you might recognize as fans of the book series. They are:

  • The Sorting Hat
  • Nearly Headless Nick
  • Peeves
  • Professor Cuthbert Binns
  • The Fat Lady
  • Professor Phineas Nigellus Black

Those are all of the established classic characters that you’ll meet in Hogwarts Legacy, however, they are some new characters with direct links to beloved fan favorites, including professor Matilda Weasley, the deputy headmistress of Hogwarts, and her nephew Hector Weasley who is a fellow student.
