How far back in time does Hogwarts Legacy take place?
Hogwarts Legacy throws you way back into the 1800s, so you're looking at a magical leap of about a couple of centuries into the past compared to the present day. It's all about exploring the wizarding world in a whole new era, way before Harry Potter even thought about getting his first wand.

Just to keep it super simple: Hogwarts Legacy is set in the 1800s, so it's about 100-200 years before the time of Harry Potter and his adventures. Imagine a world without smartphones, but with magic!
If you're thinking Hogwarts Legacy is a prequel to the Harry Potter series, you'd be right and wrong. It's set in the 19th century, making it a story that's set about 100 years before Harry's. But it's more of a standalone adventure that lets you carve your own path in the wizarding world.
Nah, it's just a game set in the wizarding world a long time ago. Think old-timey with wands.
