Hogwarts Legacy Players Roast Hilarious New ‘Discovery’
In the quiet period following Hogwarts Legacy’s monumental launch, players have turned to exploring every nook of Hogwarts Castle with renewed scrutiny. Their latest find isn’t a hidden lore snippet or a powerful spell, but a visual quirk in a familiar statue that has the entire community convinced the developers left a playful, cheeky joke in plain sight.

The subject is the grand golden statue of Hogwarts’ architect, which stands proudly in the Reception Hall. The statue traditionally depicts the architect surrounded by the four house mascots, holding a scroll in his outstretched hand. However, as Reddit user The_Quackle recently highlighted, when viewed from a specific side angle, the positioning of the scroll creates an unmistakably phallic silhouette.

“They did this on purpose,” the user declared alongside an image of the discovery. Given the meticulous design process of a AAA title, it’s hard to believe the angle went unnoticed by the artists and environment designers at Avalanche Software, leading most fans to agree this was a subtle, intentional gag.
The community’s reaction has been a wave of witty wizard-themed puns and good-natured roasting. Comments quickly filled with jokes like “Erectus patronum” and “Wizards have staffs,” showcasing the playful spirit of the player base during a content drought for the game.
