Hogwarts Legacy Fans Rally Missed Ministry of Magic
Hogwarts Legacy captivated the world in 2023, becoming the year’s best-selling game by fulfilling the fantasy of attending Hogwarts. However, over a year after its launch, a sense of disappointment has settled within the community. Despite its massive success, the game received no substantial post-launch DLC, leaving players to rely on mods for new content. This has sparked a wave of nostalgia and “what if” scenarios, with one fan concept for a Ministry of Magic expansion gaining significant traction.
The discussion ignited on the game’s subreddit, where a user lamented the “missed DLC opportunity.” The proposed expansion would have taken players beyond the grounds of Hogwarts on an “externship” to the Ministry of Magic. The concept involved completing missions and conducting observations across various ministry departments, unraveling a new central mystery.
This idea captured the community’s imagination because it would have expanded the world in a meaningful way. The proposal included a fully explorable Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, with a room at the Leaky Cauldron serving as a player hub. Floo powder connections would allow seamless travel between these iconic locations and the Ministry, creating a much larger and more connected wizarding world.
The comment section quickly filled with support. Fans agreed that exploring these legendary locations, which Avalanche Software proved so adept at recreating with Hogwarts and Hogsmeade, would have been a far more engaging end-game than some of the base game’s activities. One user commented, “That would have been way better than listening to a bunch of paintings give you ‘tests’ to prove yourself.”
Many see this not just as a lament for what could have been, but as a hopeful blueprint for the inevitable sequel. The prevailing theory is that developers are saving locations like the Ministry of Magic, Diagon Alley, and even other wizarding schools like Beauxbatons as key selling points for Hogwarts Legacy 2.
