With many pertinent details regarding the game already being known to fans, there are countless theories surrounding potential appearances and plot elements withinHogwarts Legacy.

How Hogwarts Legacy’s Setting Could Involve Harry Potter’s Grandparents
With Harry’s mother Lily being muggle-born, it is unlikely that players will see her parents withinHogwarts Legacy, with it being likely that the two were completely ignorant of the school until learning of their daughter’s magical prowess. There is, however, a likelihood that fans might see glimpses of Harry’s paternal grandparents, with both of Jame’s parents having attended the wizarding school in their youth.
While an exact date of birth for James' father, Fleamont, is unknown, it is some time before 1909, giving further credence to his potential appearance. Depending on how long of a timeframe thestory ofHogwarts Legacyconcerns itself with, there is a very good chance that Fleamont could make an appearance within the title, with Fleamont also being a Gryffindor pupil. Less is known about James' mother, Euphemia, though she could very well appear alongside her future husband.
Harry Potter is of course the titular characterof the storied franchise and is understandably one of the most well-known pop culture characters of all time. With the intense popularity of “The Boy Who Lived” being established by the books and films of the IP, it is within the realm of possibility that players will get nods and references to Harry’s lineage withinHogwarts Legacy.
Harry’s parents are both very well-known figureswithin the Harry Potter storyand were very influential figures within the original plot. Harry’s mother was Lily Potter, a muggle-born witch who learned of her magical talents through her childhood friend, Severus Snape. Attending Hogwarts herself, Lily was sorted into Gryffindor and would go on to become Head Girl of the school in her seventh year. James Potter was Harry’s father, with the two parents meeting at Hogwarts, both as Gryffindor students. So exploring more of his lineage simply adds up, even if it’s not the focus of the game.
Hogwarts Legacyis scheduled to release holiday 2022 for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
