According to HowLongToBeat, Hogwarts Legacy takes 26½ hours to complete the main story. However, 67½ hours are needed for a completionist run. This means those looking to delve further than the main campaign and unlock all the game’s collectibles/achievements can expect to spend a lot more time exploring. 

Of course, like all games, this time also varies depending on the difficulty you have chosen and how good you are at mastering the game’s combat. There will also be Witches and Wizards who find glitches and unique tricks that enable them to speedrun the game. 

Either way, the game has plenty of content tucked away within its open world, meaning Harry Potter fans can really explore each environment.
