Although set in the late 1800s, roughly a century before the birth of Harry Potter, we expect Hogwarts Legacy to feature more than just a nod to the stories told by J.K. Rowling in her bestsellers. One such reference, although well hidden, can be found in a recent behind-the-scenes video.
Youtuber XpectoGo got the opportunity to go behind the scenes of the development of Hogwarts Legacy and talk to the Avalanche Software developers. From the footage you can find at the top of this post, there are a lot of interesting things to draw, but the real fun is hidden at minute 7:10. During the game session, visible on the TV screen behind the interlocutors, the protagonist can be seen battling a certain red-haired Hector Weasley, who looks like an ancestor of Ron Weasley, one of the undisputed protagonists of the Harry Potter series of novels. To see him properly, we advise you to stream in 4K on a suitable screen size: his name is written very small!
Apparently, this Hector Weasley was a member of the dueling club during the history of Hogwarts Legacy, but at this point it is difficult to ascertain his significance in the game’s narrative. It is possible that he will just appear in the game only briefly, but in any case, this is a pleasant Easter egg that will delight the most devoted Harry Potter fans. Who knows, maybe there are other glorious ancestors at Hogwarts at the end of the 19th century!
