Want to know if you'll run into Hagrid in Hogwarts Legacy? One of the best characters of the franchise – and an ever recurring meme from the PS1 days – it's a question many fans are asking. Since being convicted of a crime he didn't commit, the groundskeeper spent his time tending the grounds of Hogwarts and caring for any of the fantastic beasts contained within, so could he appear in the game based in the famous schools' grounds?
We already know that RPG game set way before his time?
Sadly, Hagrid is not in Hogwarts Legacy due to the time period in which the open-world game is set, so the beloved giant wasn't around. The game is centred around a new cast of Hogwarts Legacy map, its inhabitants may take some getting used to.
Why isn't Hagrid in Hogwarts Legacy?
Well, you won't be seeing the gamekeeper in Hogwarts Legacy because it's set quite some time before Hagrid and many of the other Harry Potter characters were born. Hagrid was born in 1928, and Hogwarts Legacy is set at some point in the 1800s. There's an outside chance of getting a glimpse of Dumbledore and Newt Scamander since they were both born towards the tail end of the 1800s, but it's doubtful that they'll have much sway in your story.
There you have it, Hagrid is not in Hogwarts Legacy. Instead, the wizarding school's groundskeeper is none other than Gladwin Moon, who tasks you with hunting down all how to make money in Hogwarts Legacy.
The creator of the Harry Potter series, JK Rowling, has made a number of transphobic remarks on social media in recent years. Warner Bros. has the licence to make games based on Harry Potter. While the details of that deal aren't publicly known, and WB Games says "J.K. Rowling is not directly involved in the creation of the game", it is likely that, as the creator and owner of the Harry Potter IP, she will earn royalties from its sales.
