Hogwarts Legacy - Not Confirmed As Canon

Hogwarts Legacy is currently not confirmed to be canon and it is possible that the plot will take place in an alternate timeline of the Harry Potter Universe as the story is not written by J.K. Rowling.

While all Portkey games are not direct adaptations of any of the books or films, the elements of Hogwarts Legacy is still intact with the magical universe that J.K. Rowling has created.

Unlikely to Be Canon

Due to the possibility of multiple endings and the unique Witches and Wizards players can create per playthrough, it's unlikely that Hogwarts Legacy will be considered canon when it comes to the books and movies.

There won't be any familiar faces or any sort of reference to the characters from the books around Hogwarts besides the resident ghosts, as the events of the game will take place in the 1800s while the Harry Potter books took place in 1990s during the second uprising of Voldemort and the Second Wizarding War.
