The game used to work fine. A year later, I decide to launch the game again, and it just won't start. I read about the problems with Win 11, found a fix, downloaded it, and after that it gives me this error

In mint condition. Barely used with no scratches Selling for 3000+shipping Also ok to trade it for some other games. Mainly looking for these only- Mariokart 8 deluxe, Switch sports, Pokemon violet, Pokemon snap, Pokmon diamond and pokemon sword

Hi All,

Recently a month and half ago purchased ps5, my first gaming console purchase, never gamed before. So don't have much info how the sale seasons work. Currently I can see Hogwarts legacy game is at good discount of 80% in ps store. Is it good time to buy or can drop further say in black friday sales ? Recently I saw it was at 75% discount when I purchased the console now at 80%. Ofcourse people will say what difference does 5% make. Yes not much. But just wanted an opinion whether further discount can be expected or this will be the lowest.. As I had already made a mistake when I bought Arkham knight separately and Arkham collection (Arkham Asylum+ Arkham City) separately instead of a common bundle as I got confused by the description what they were offering. Anyways ended up spending an additional Rs 350 on that game bundle when I could have the same bundle for cheaper. So yeah don't unnecessarily want to overspend on Hogwarts if it is expected to be cheaper sooner than later. PS : not planning to have Ps+ subscription for now or anytime soon.

An email to congratulate me on a platinum trophy is a first for me😁

For anyone who has played the game, can you tell me if you think the DLC's are worth it?

Rn they are super cheap because of the discount, but I figure'd I'd ask around anyways.

Much thanks for any advise!

Acabo de comprar la mejora a switch 2 del Hogwarts y fue una compra excelente, la diferencia es abismal y por solo 10 dolares. En la foto se ve un poco mal por la luz pero en la vida real esta Ufff, la tele no es OLED pero aun asi se ve super bien y el HDR es buenisimo

- Side quests missions only available after curfew. Teachers and prefects patrol the hallways, dungeons, and the parc...You get detected by a prefect, but the student happens to be one of those who asked for your help earlier during the game. If you completed his quest, he would let you go without alerting the castle. On the contrary, if you still haven't completed the quest, chose to keep the item for yourself, or have been greedy somehow... You'll get 'captured' and lose points for your house. Points you need to unlock rare items/gear, upgrade spells, and the duration of the potions.

- The common room: It could have been the only place you are allowed to be after the curfew, the HQ where you can prepare for quests, receive quests from other students, save the game by interacting with your bed, store your item excess in the closet or trunk, change gear, and be safe from any attack (I like when -in a game- I narrowly escape from trouble or an enemy at the last second, by getting in a place I can’t be reached and look at him raging like in Dying light).

- Great hall: A place where you can restore your health bar and ancient magic without wasting your potions (same for the kitchens, Zonko, and food you find in the common room).

- Central hall: An in-game hub where you can interact with students from other houses, trade, challenge, or receive quests from...Instead of adding a multiplayer mode that would probably affect graphics and other parameters of the game (I'm not a developer, I'm just assuming, despite its something I expected nowadays consoles to be able to run), the great hall could be the place you must often visit to take part in events and other stuff the developers would regularly/periodically add to the game to keep the postgame relevant until the next game.

- Library: the place you must visit and read books (interact with one to have a page in your inventory) and get the information you’ll need to learn a spell, potion’s recipe, information to pass classes and find helpful clues to prepare quests or hunt beasts. Some books would require a nocturnal infiltration into the restricted session or somewhere else in the castle, like the Headmaster's private library in the tower.

- Social interactions: Helping other students should have filled some kind of bar that once it reaches a certain level, those students could become available to be recruited (using that owl in your dorm) to help you in complicated quests, duels, … If you help more than one student from another house, you will receive the password to get inside another common room. Hence, unlocking another safe base (handy in case you find yourself trapped by night, and too far from your own house), with unique content you can’t receive if you stick to your house. In GTA, characters call you just to hang out…They could have done that in Hogwarts Legacy, so instead of choosing the game’s difficulty, let us decide while playing. I’ll explain…If you choose to be a loner, the game will be difficult because you’ll have to face too many enemies alone, lack of resources, etc... If you choose socializing, students would tag along to help, give you valuable resources, access to their common rooms, and other secret passages to dodge patrols, etc...

- We could have been asked to find and observe magical beasts for the care of the magical creature class. Then, pass a quiz before being allowed to capture a beast…Until completing a bestiary.

- Classes: Each lesson consists of a mini-game related to the content of the lesson, tasks, and a quiz, which, once passed, gives access to a bonus (spell, plant, potion, beast). A clock to keep track of the time and respect the lesson times so as not to lose points or be chased by Hogwarts staff. Something like a wanted system in Red Dead Redemption... Not only could courses have been compulsory to level up your character, but provided content to enrich the lore of HP’s universe as well. Because I don't think I've learned anything not already in the books, movies, or fandomwiki.

- Hogsmeade: They should have thought about making each shop relevant. Growing plants, ingredients, and brewing potions in the room of requirement is great, but it made Hogsmeade irrelevant the moment I could afford to buy pots…Which happened very fast.

- Morality system: It’s incoherent that we could break into teachers’ offices, quarters, people’s houses, and loot their stuff with no consequences at all (I won’t bring up the unforgivable curse who are fine to use in Hogwarts Legacy). There should be a point when people would start 'hunting' or 'watching' you do bad actions without wearing a mask, which would give some importance to the gear you find in the game or buy in shops.

- Clothes: The choice of your clothes and gear could be used proficiently in the game. Wearing a school uniform in Hogsmeade would raise suspicions if you visit Hogsmeade during class hours or at night. Students from other houses would also be curious if they see you wandering around or inside their common house while not sporting their colors.

- After some time, I grew tired of repeatedly fighting spiders to -at the end- come out of the underground with a pair of gloves. The rewards should have been something worthy of the time…Maybe they should have taken inspiration from Assassin’s Creed, where you discover ancient histories. It could have been histories about ancient wizards and events we never heard of.

- Weather: I think it would be nice if the game could either let you choose the weather or divide the map into different regions with their own climate, rather than link it to where you are in the plot, not only for aesthetics, but also because it opens the way to game mechanics. Many games force you to pay attention to what clothes you are wearing. Example: If you want to adventure in cold/snowy areas of the game (let's say, to fight and collect items from a mountain troll that only lives there), you must be dressed accordingly so as not to affect your stamina and so on...Another example, riding a broom would be too complicated in those zones because of the winds or visibility, so it would force mastering a winged beast to progress in your exploration.

- Progressive difficulty: Regardless of your character level, I would like the game difficulty to be progressive...Very easy, the closer you are to Hogwarts. Then, it would start increasing the further you explore until it becomes 'Grand Sorcerer, Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards, and recipient of the Order of Merlin, First Class' level in areas in the map where you'll find no shelter or resources but those you'd bring with you from the castle. Places where you'd find the most dangerous beasts (Werewolves, Dragons, dementors, manticores, vampires?) and criminals of the game, with the rewards that let you reach the 100% trophy instead of completing Merlin trials.

- Let's be crazy: An online mode accessible after completing the main game, where you can start a good or evil guild, a personalized HQ that can be invaded by real enemy players, and beat online special events...Hunt players who made bad moral choices or be chased by them...Characters that choose to specialize in a branch of magic during their main game progression, which would make you think wisely while spending the mission points (House points?) on skills. HQs built in the dangerous areas of the map where you'd be 'safe' from other guilds, but not from the AI-driven characters there? Broom racing? Or just hanging out doing stuff with friends?

- Reading newspapers and overhearing conversations offline would randoñly inform you about what other players are doing in their sessions offline and online, like in the games, in which at the end of an episode, you get a page where they show you the percentage of players that made the same choices as you in the world and among your friends that play the game.

Honestly, the right owners have the money, Harry Potter has a fan base that will massively buy the game, the technology exists, and they can draw inspiration from several games that came out like 15 years ago on PlayStation 3. They can really do a game that would crush all the records and not need a sequel before a very long time.

If you've played Hogwarts Legacy, you will probably realize that (despite the map only indicating three entrance/exit points to the castle) there are actually MANY entrances.

I figured I'd outline/analyze all the ones I found on my first playthrough. I'll tell you which ways are the fastest (other than floo powder, of course) to get to which places. Please let me know if you have discovered any more!!

Gryffindor Lower Hallway Entrance

This entrance is marked on the in-game map. You can travel through the clock tower to reach it.

I'm pretty sure that this is the fastest way to get to the Gryffindor common room.

Bell Tower Entrance

This entrance is marked on the in-game map. This is one of the fastest ways to get to the greenhouses.

West Tower Entrance

This entrance is marked on the in-game map. Use this entrance if you're heading to charms class, the astronomy tower, or defense against dark arts class.

North Quad Hall Entrance

As far as I'm aware, if you're arriving at the castle from a journey and you want to enter through this entrance, then you'll need to own a flying mount. You can still reach this entrance by entering the castle from a different point, then exiting here.

I have not played as a Ravenclaw (I am Slytherin) but this seems like the fastest way to the Ravenclaw common room.

Great Hall Entrance

This is the same situation as the North Quad Hall entrance, so you'll need a flying mount if you want to seamlessly approach it from the outside of the castle.

Pretty sure this is the fastest route to the Hufflepuff common room.

Entrance Hall

If you're approaching the castle, then there are three ways to reach this entrance:

• Use the passage in the Underground Harbour
• Climb the stairs from the boathouse
• Fly

Viaduct Entrance

This is another one of the fastest ways to reach the greenhouses. The ways of reaching this entrance are the exact same as the Entrance Hall.

Hospital Wing Entrance

This one is directly above the Gryffindor Lower Hallway Entrance. Instead of going through the clock tower, climb up the stairs until you reach the top, then head down the suspended hall that leads to the hospital wing.

Fun fact: this is one of two entrances that I know do NOT interrupt you with a loading screen. The other being the Headmaster's Office Entrance.

>!Headmaster's Office Entrance!<

>!Just like the Hospital Wing Entrance, you can seamlessly enter the castle via this door. However, you won't be able to use this entrance until very late in your playthrough.!<

>!I actually entered the office from the inside wayyyy too early on in my playthrough, and I'm kind of mad at the game for letting me because apparently my character wasn't supposed to know the password (but didn't know that at the time).!<

>!Honeydukes Secret Passage!<

>!This is not really practical after the side quest that involves it, but it's neat. It does take you straight to the Grand Staircase, so you might enjoy using it to travel from Hogsmeade to Hogwarts once in a while.!<

>!Hidden Herbology Corridor!<

>!This does take you directly into the greenhouses, but I don't really like using it. The Viaduct Entrance and Bell Tower Entrance are much faster methods.!<

Edit: I'll put any additional entrances pointed out in the comments below!!

Ravenclaw roof entrance/landing pad

This is so cool! I just looked up a video of it, thank you u/joran26 for pointing this out.

Update 2: there may be a way to enter the charms classroom from the roof, but I spend a decent five minutes trying to do it about a week ago. I just saw a comment on another post saying it's possible, so I'll try again later.

Update 3: seems like the charms classroom entrance is impossible. I have tried many different ways of landing there, and none of them work.
