Although it is set in the late 1800s, about a century before the birth of Harry Potter, from Hogwarts Legacy we expect more of a nod to the stories told by JK Rowling than her bestselling books. Such a well-hidden reference can be found in a recent behind-the-scenes video.
The youtuber XpectoGo, sponsored by Warner Bros. Games, had the opportunity to go behind the scenes of the development of Hogwarts Legacy and to chat with the developers of Avalanche Software. There are many interesting ideas that emerged from the video that you can find at the top of this news, but the real gem is well hidden at 7:10. During the gameplay session visible on the TV behind the interlocutors, it is possible to see the protagonist fight against a certain Hector Weasley red-haired, who has every appearance of being an ancestor of Ron Weasley, one of the undisputed protagonists of the Harry Potter novel series. To see it well, we recommend setting up the 4K streaming on a screen of adequate size: his name is written very small!
It seems that this Hector Weasley was part of the Crossed Wands Dueling Club during the history of Hogwarts Legacy, but at the moment it is difficult to establish his relevance within the narrative of the game. It is possible that it is a simple extra, in any case it is in any case a nice Easter egg capable of making the most loyal Harry Potter fans happy. Who knows if there aren’t others too illustrious ancestors around the Hogwarts of the late nineteenth century!
