Really impressed that they had gave us both a 'gruff and edgy' and 'lighthearted and jovial' Slytherin professor. Think it will help out flesh out the slytherin house a bit and not have them being seen as the 'darker' side of hogwarts
@@xyreniaofcthrayn1195 I mean, it's most redeemable characters so far are a Famous Wizard Card that doesn't actually come up in the story(Merlin, the card is mention among a group of others and none are elaborated on, and Merlin is definitely not connected with Slytherin in the books, and was likely added on later when Rowling realized she wrote a house of villains), a child abusing teacher who's supposed to be redeemed by his war hero status but it ultimately falls flat because he's constantly doing things like poisoning students to test out their homemade antidotes(Goblet of Fire, "the weighing of the wands") or attempting to kill a student's pet by forcing them to feed their incorrectly made potion to it, followed by taking away house points when the pet didn't die because he knew the student couldn't have fixed it on his own(Prisoner of Azkaban, The Boggart)(Snape of course, the Snape people actually love is the one Rowling should have written and the one Alan Rickman portrayed, not the child abusing mess above that is written in the books), a student who spends the first 6 books being a low tier villain, and the 7th being not as bad of a person as he could have(Draco), and then a casually blood racist(of the "racism of low expectations" kind) socilite as the sole redeammable Slytherin character who nonetheless was introduced late in the series and had to be coerced into giving incredibly important information up(yeah, I count getting someone drunk and preying on their regrets as being coercive). Oh, and some side characters whom we never really interact with at all, like Andromeda Tonks who isn't said to be Slytherin in the books, or Regulus Black who was a death eater and Voldemort fanboy(keeping a stack of Voldemort news clippings in his room) till he became disillusioned with how much murder and torture they were doing, which, call me cynical but "doesn't enjoy murder and torture" isn't exactly the highest bar to clear. I would argue it's the lowest, actually... So it's problems stem from the fact that every Slytherin character we hear about is a villain, never connected to the house in the books, or is ex-Slytherin in a way. Or they're Slughorn and looked down upon for being Slytherin despite not being worse than Hagrid or Dumbledore.
@@the_last_ballad I was strictly thinking of the slytherin house and dour didn't quite fit for the average slytherin student (the most applicable dour person at hogwarts is one argus filch) the rest of slytherin just have greater expectations and ambitions than the average student unless your the crabbe and goyle type in which yer a henchman. Also on 5 different occasions the sorting says ol' Salazar accepted those with ambition and the cunning and determination to do something so morally wrong just to get what they want or what they think they deserve.
Happy to see a Ravenclaw teaching dueling and being described as "hands-on" and practical. Let us show the world we are not just meek and helpless nerds! When it comes to magic, knowledge is power!
As a fellow Ravenclaw....I don't think I've ever heard our house called meek or helpless. In the books we are similar to Hufflepuff in that we don't stand out but that's because it's following Harry's point of view and he was focused on Gryffindor (his house) and Slytherin (his rival's house). He slowly expanded his list of acquaintances to members of the other houses but it was never that in depth. Beyond Cho Chang and Luna Lovegood Harry never really associated with any other Ravenclaws, and Marietta Edgecomb kind of soured him to Cho when she defended her friend and tried to talk smack about Hermione for having a curse in the parchment they signed and didn't tell anyone. And Harry only ever really got to know Cedric Diggory from Hufflepuff....and no one else from that house.
Slytherin gets bad rep because of the pro-witches and wizards that have been sorted into that House. According to Harry Potter lore, Merlin was a Slytherin, and even though he was, he had no prejudice against "mudbloods", and disagreed with Salazar Slytherin's belief that Hogwarts should not welcome in non-magic folk.
To be fair to them (Not one, am a Hufflepuff), most of the Gryffindors in Harry Potter were either out of focus like the Twins and Neville, or complete shitheads like at least two, maybe three of the main trio.
Mmmm I feel like the situation is gonna end up fans: we’re asking for iconic mini games, like chess, gobstones, exploding snap! devs: we have mini games at home
Oooh 2 professors from Slytherin and opposite personalities. I'm so glad that they're implementing the idea that not ALL Slytherins are automatically bad people :)
I am obsessed with the little glimpses we've gotten of all the characters (though tbh, I feel like Poppy's card needed more depth for me to see her complexity). It's great that everyone is so distinct and I cannot wait to get to know all of them better!
I wish they’d give Hufflepuffs more to do than just Herbology. We know other Hufflepuffs have proficiency in areas beyond caring (Herbology, CoMC) and Healing - Tonks was an Auror, for goodness’s sake! - so why not give us a Hufflepuff DADA professor, Transfiguration professor, etc?
I think that Professor Weasley will be the head of Grynffindor (as long as i know all the Weasley were Griffindors) and she will be probably the Transfiguration teacher; Professor Fig could be the ancient Runes teacher because he can teach us about the ancient magic that we have, and he could be a Ravenclaw and the main "companion" that will follow us in the field missions. Natsai mother was transfer to Hogwarts from the African School so she could be non of the hogwarts houses i think. (All my theories, i could be totally wrong). (srry if my english is wrong or ungly i'm Brazilian and my english still in progress)
I’m a writer (literature) and imo, video game characters can occasionally be even more endearing than book/movie ones. I think the degree of personal interaction adds an element of closeness to them - especially when there are dialogue choices which directly influence their responses. All in all this is looking to be an outstanding experience once we get the chance to dive in. Particularly for the millennials like me who grew up on HP! And the Herbology prof being named Garlick 😂👌🏻
I'm a novelist too, and I can't help but agree with you! I remember my first time playing Xenoblade 1 and 2 and really getting engrossed by the characters and their personalities. Fire Emblem games also envelop me with their characters.
As people have said before, my guess for the Gryffindor head is Professor Weasley. 1) Because it's been said the Weasley's have had a long history of being in Gryffindor and 2) I don't think Professor Onai attended Hogwarts (Natsai was from modern day Zimbabwe and attended Uagadou, the Ugandan magical school that serves all of Africa, before having to move because of her mother's job, implying her mother also attended Uagadou in her youth)
I doubt it, I don’t see a reason for her to get assigned a house, im sure they’ll let us now her house attributes and the viewers will know her house, but in game I see no reason to place her she isn’t a student asf all
I've seen a lot of people saying "No, Mrs. Onai wouldn't have a house because she didn't attend Hogwarts as a student", and that certainly makes _some_ sense, but it feels a bit odd to me, given how big a role your House plays in Hogwarts' mini-society even as a teacher. Personally, I see no reason why they necessarily _wouldn't_ assign Mrs. Onai a symbolic house, or maybe even actually _Sort_ her, when she arrived for whatever pre-year New Colleague Orientation I'm sure they have.
@@Anastas1786 Does it play a role to teachers who aren't the head of the house though? Sure it played a role for McGonnogal, Snape, Sprout and Flitwick to some degree but not really the rest.
I preordered it. Which after cyberpunk 2077 I said never again but ive been waiting for a game like this for at least 15 years. It looks good but I'm just hoping its at least decent
"Her sunny demeanor and flowery language charm colleagues and students alike, prompting some students to worry she may one day leave them for another greenhouse." Bruh they absolutely know what they are doing with Mirabel, this is shameless💀
The Professor character cards were so much fun. I hope we're getting more. I love it so much how the give us all this little bits of the game. Honestly I wasn't that hyped since waiting for Book 7 😁😁😁
its a good day when retro uploads. Kinda wanted them to change the professors houses a bit more... i mean dada is a ravenclaw wich original series went everywhere cause u had one every year. Charms being slytherins is fun. But herbology hufflepuff again . Potions slytherin again seems like high chance transfiguration is gryffindoor ... again
That has a lot to do with the 4 elements each house represents, I think. Slytherin is water, Hufflepuff is earth, Ravenclaw is air, and Gryffindor is fire. So naturally Slytherin has Potions, the liquid, Hufflepuff has Herbology, the earth and plant, Ravenclaw has Charms (Wingardium Leviosa), and Gryffindor has Transfiguration (conjuration, the transformation of one thing to another). DADA had two Ravenclaws back to back, then a Gryffindor, and *four* Slytherins. Hufflepuff would have been a proper change. I am disappointed, but I'll hold optimism for Transfiguration.
we know so much about this game and its characters, and its crazy to think how much we still don't know, i do still think it'd be weird if, maybe not a Ravenclaw companion, but rather if the three we've seen are the only students that will actually be that important to us, i would like more options than that, i guess we'll have to wait and see
Personally, I feel that having a 3rd Slytherin Potion professor, that is male as well, is a bit lazy. Would have loved a Ravenclaw professor, since it is such a hard subject. Give me a Slytherin broom professor, one that really cares about Quidditch matches!
""Even Snape" BLASPHEMY, Alan Rickman is a national treasure; his Snape was iconic. His inclusion in the beloved category is mandatory! 💚 Also is Mirabel queer? Her card seemed to imply as much.
I still think Amit is our Ravenclaw companion since I feel like it would make no sense not to give us one. It would make more sense if they had gone the route of the phone game and give us one companion that joins whatever house we are in otherwise.
I'm no where near a Hogwarts expert(So feel free to teach me a thing or two), but I'm still excited for this game and as a gamer I noticed each professor serve a purpose directly to our most fundamental gameplay. Figg - Helps you discover Ancient Magic Sharp - Teach us potions, like the one that gives armor. Garlick(Clever Name) - Lessons on the Plant creatures I see fighting in the gameplay trailer. Ronen - Charms (Need help on this one, will these be buffs to your person or powers?) and Hecat - Teaches us the basics of fighting all together. This must be why they said Classes will only be Narrative based, its meant to teach us specific spells or gameplay mechanics for Combat with a bit of back story and hint at lore. Once the required amount of class time is over when we learn everything we need, we'll eventually jus stop going to class I assume. Hmph no wonder going to classes regularly in a sims fashion are not prioritized.
So...did anyone else notice that they just outright said that Professor Garlick is a lesbian? Like I'm trying not to read too far into this but "Even if the right *witch* were to come along, she would just have to love Hogwarts as much as Mirabel does."
For a book lower I am impressed by characters in games. Like Gaunt, Weasley, Black. Cuz all of them were mentioned. I am not sure if there is some Prewett(ancestors of Molly Weasley) but I wish so because Mollys brothers were really cool
I think that Mirabel Garlick is a lesbian. Her character card says that "even if the right *witch* were to come along, *she'd* imply have to love Hogwarts as much as Mirabel does."
@@ripvanwinkler1548 Tough shit. It’s weird you don’t gay about the professor has a wife but get butthurt over the MENTION of her wanting a gf. Snowflake
@@ripvanwinkler1548 I don't think it is gonna be a lot or shoved down your throat. I think you can forgive a few lgbt stuff since we aren't really the intended audience for anything Harry Potter related.
I’ve had a feeling that we might be an “undercover agent” sent in from the ministry. That’s why we come out of nowhere and are expected in at year 5. Could be totally wrong but just a thought.
Well, the reason you come in at Year 5 is because the game designers didn't want people playing an 11-year-old doing all the dangerous things you'll probably be doing in the game.
According to the timeline it could fit that the headmaster is in fact Phineas Nigellus Black as the game is played in 1890 & Phineas was 43 at the time (he died in 1925)
As a gryffindor, Poppy was/is my favorite companion so I was already excited to have a Hufflepuff at my side. But now my favorite professor is also a Hufflepuff?? Well guess Hufflepuff is my second preferred house now.😅👍
It makes sense that there are more slytherin professors because the headmaster is slytherin. Sort of like hiring your frat brothers first. Question. What is that game they are playing with the two black balls?
@@nathanlangley769 thought gobstones are small balls. Even the hogwarts programmers said you can't play gobstones in hogwarts legacy. Maybe a pre-gobstones game? Or just an old game.
Or maybe they hired because they were the most qualified of the people who applied? There's 4 houses and 12-16 subjects to staff. As your not pulling from the entire population(as not everyone wants to be a teacher) but rather from a smaller pool of applicants, things aren't going to shake out evenly as to what houses are represented. And assuming that it had to be pseudo-nepotism for there to be slightly more Slytherins than other houses is weird, as in the Prisoner of Azkaban, of the school staff where we know of their houses, Dumbledore has more Griffindors on staff than anyone else. Of course, most of the staff don't have their houses listed because when it comes to teaching, your knowledge and ability to work with children is more important than your values at 11 years old. And, meta-narritively, Slytherin still has the "is the evil house of evil" reputation, as your insinuation that they only got their job because the headmaster was biased rather than their qualifications supports btw, and this is a chance to portray Slytherins who aren't tainted by the heir's influence, as well as not being used as the defacto villains of a children's series, and instead rehabilitate the house from the reputation Rowling saddled them with. Which, again, is because she only wrote one decent Slytherin who we spent any time with, and Slughorn came in on the penultimate book. And no, Snape doesn't count because attempted to kill a student's pet using their incorrectly made potion, and then punished them because they cheated, something he knew because the potion worked(indicating he knew they wouldn't be able to fix it normally) Prisoner of Azkaban "the boggart", and planned on poisoning a student multiple times, Goblet of Fire "the weighing of the wands" and the one scene where Snape threatened to put virtuaserum in Harry's drink. It doesn't matter way heroics you do, if you spend your average day bullying and abusing children entrusted into your care, you're not a good person.
I bet they made the potions master different from Snape by not making him someone who spends his days bullying and abusing children. Like when Snape feeds Neville's incorrectly made potion to Trevor, knowing it would kill the toad, and then takes housepoints away because the potion worked correctly and Trevor didn't die, which meant Hermione helped Neville (which she did). Did I mention that Snape deduced Hermione helped Neville by the potion not killing the frog yet? Because that's really concerning that he expected to kill a student's pet and did it anyway. And then in the Goblet of Fire he plans on poisoning a student to test their homemade antidotes ("the weighing of the wands"), and threatens to drug Harry with virtuaserum, neither of which is acceptable for a teacher to do. And then there's the litanny of wildly inappropriate insults he heaps at his students. I never got how his war hero actions were supposed to redeem him of 16 years of abusing children. People love the Snape Alan Rickman portrayed (who actually is a decent person), not the one Rowling wrote.
It’s just the fandom and fanfictiontards that misinterpret Snape wildly. He’s a pretty horrible guy, never really intended to be ”redeemed”. His entire existence from having a muggle father, pureblood mother, growing up abused and getting into the dark arts is a direct parallel to Voldemort. The point of Snape as a character was to show that the only thing keeping him from becoming like Voldemort was his ability to love.
Noticed that Professor Binns was still teaching History of Magic... Always imagined a funny version of that class taking the place of the Ghostbusters live show at Universal. Imagine you having to answer questions from your house (according to your seat), and every now and then something funny coming in to interrupt the professor's sleep-inducing classes.
I watched the original trailer for the Game and am certain that Ranrok is after us which is why we're at Hogwarts, as according to Hagrid, "Ain't no place safer"
We’re just gonna glaze over the fact that in garlicks description it said “ if another WITCH were to come along she’d have to live Hogwarts as much as her” 🤔 suspicious 😊
Yeah maybe cause it’s not really suspicious, that’s a weird word to use haha. it’s just facts that she be gaaaaay and that’s not actually interesting lol
@OkiHabu I think it’s a matter of not wanting to anger a community like religions because so many people branch off of the “main” religion like some Jewish/Islamic people don’t follow the strict diet of their religion, what I’m saying is it’s hard to represent an entire community without angering some because some people want this some follow that , whereas with the lgbtqia+ community any representation is considered a “together” representation (like having one queer character is showing support for all queer groups, if that makes sense) , and I also believe they were hoping for it to just be in the background not have it as their pull for queer people and if queer people join because of it great but if not that’s not what they were going for. 😁
@OkiHabu I think you missed what I was saying you brought politics and religion into a simple conversation of sexual identity it is not queer bait and to be honest the message flew over most people’s heads I don’t know why you’re so desperate to hate the game for this but if you don’t want it don’t get it and leave others alone
@@Golden_ghost7321 I'm a little worried about the world building though since its set in the 1800s and the magical world is shown to be behind the rest of the world on matters of equality in the Harry Potter movies. Still, bet she's going to be a wonderful character
"Errr, hello everyone, my name is Professor Maths McKinsey; I'm your new maths teacher. Hope the embroidered numbers all over my robes didn't give me away!" Just kidding, the Wizarding World doesn't believe in mathematics... or, water saving toilets.
Abraham Ronan looks very similar to Flavious Belby found on a chocolate frog card in the mobile game Hogwarts Mystery, knows for being the only known wizard to have survived a Lethifold attack. Considering the same studio worked on the game it’s interesting how similar these two characters are 🤔
Each of the professors personalities fits the subject they teach. I suspect the charms professor likes to take his students Zonko’s to put Whoopi’s cushions under the head masters chair. The hardass for potions provides context and backround for as to why Snape was given that class. As this game takes place in the 1880’s.
If a computer-animated show series gets made that is based on these VideoGames someday; I would like to see a student from RavenClaw become be part of the main group of characters who are friends with each other. See I imagine one character from RavenClaw, 2 characters from Hufflepuff, 2 from Gryffindor, and one genuine good person from Slytherin.
So while reading professor Mirabel garlick text card the line So even if the right witch we're to come along, she'd simply have to love Hogwarts as much as Mirabel does. Now at first I thought it meant something else but on closer inspection of the sentence what it's trying to is there would have to be another witch to love Hogwarts just as much as Mirabel
1:45 trust me its not crazy!! As an obsessed Star Wars fan a well executed game makes you really attached to the given character. Cal Kestis is easily one of my favourite characters now! so if Hogwarts legacy can hit a homer like Jedi Fallen order this will become a classic!
If anyone's an exact copy of the books professor, it's the Herbology professor. Like seriously, I'd have switched it up a bit, having the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher be a Hufflepuff in this version.
I never really got why people looked down on those not born from non-magical families as they are the first of their family tree of magic. They are naturally made wizards who didn't get their magic from their parents but got it naturally.
Well it's similar to how monarchies used to be and how much incest permeated Europe back in the day for the sake of "keeping the bloodline pure". It's hogwash and just a way for those in power to stay in power. A muggle born witch isn't taking magic away from anyone else nor is she watering it down, but the lie that she is keeps pureblood families in power and justifies mistreatment and cruelty towards her.
i wonder if they are going to go into any pureblood politics in this game and if they have accurate portrayals of blood status in different houses (slytherin being especially bigoted). could be an interesting dynamic in side missions
I hope the Ravenclaw 'companion' will be a companion. He'll just bellyache and whinge everytime you bring him somewhere where it gets dangerous and make puns about how he is 'too old for this' or something.
I don't think we've seen the Heads yet. Any of them. I would think they'd all be shown at the same time, or kept secret as a surprise. I think there isn't so much a rule that all 4 Houses must be represented, so much as there are only 4 Houses and at least three times as many classes, so odds are VERY high there's always at least one.
In Order of the Phoenix there is a Black on the wall that died in 1893. Can't remember their name but would be interested to see if they put any Blacks in the game.
Somehow I don't think a 15 year old can date their professors. Dating a teacher is a problematic power dynamic to have when everyone is an adult, but when one of them is a kid? No.
Unless I've misunderstood the mention of 'the right witch' in Mirabel's bio, it sounds like we might have a bit of same-sex representation. Intrigued by how it'll be handled in the time period, and the difference between muggle and magic perspectives.
Look all I wanna know is can I be an asshole like in Bully. If I can do that then I’m 100% buying it. I’m not a Harry Potter fan, but I’m like teetering on getting this because it looks fun. I just wanna goof around.
I’m so unbelievably excited, the professors sound magnificent. I’ve finally made progress on redesigning my animal crossing island to be hogwarts themed, I need to channel my excitement somewhere and the ACNH 2.0 items are too good to pass up 🥹
Interesting cause professor Ronan and professor Aesop are both chocolate frog cards I know cause I have earned them in Hogwarts mysteries game I don't know about the others though
Really impressed that they had gave us both a 'gruff and edgy' and 'lighthearted and jovial' Slytherin professor. Think it will help out flesh out the slytherin house a bit and not have them being seen as the 'darker' side of hogwarts
Slytherins not darker than the other houses but it does get alot of sour students and henchmen.
And my house, Hufflepuff, remains an unabashed "Dad, I like drugs" stereotype.

@@DittaDemon to each their own. Looks decent in my opinion. Plus some of the leaked trophies make me excited.
"Her sunny demeanor and flowery language charm colleagues and students alike, prompting some students to worry she may one day leave them for another greenhouse."
Bruh they absolutely know what they are doing with Mirabel, this is shameless💀
Seeing a cheerful teacher with slytherin actually feels like a breath of fresh air
The Professor character cards were so much fun. I hope we're getting more. I love it so much how the give us all this little bits of the game. Honestly I wasn't that hyped since waiting for Book 7 😁😁😁
its a good day when retro uploads. Kinda wanted them to change the professors houses a bit more... i mean dada is a ravenclaw wich original series went everywhere cause u had one every year.
Charms being slytherins is fun.
But herbology hufflepuff again . Potions slytherin again
seems like high chance transfiguration is gryffindoor ... again
That has a lot to do with the 4 elements each house represents, I think. Slytherin is water, Hufflepuff is earth, Ravenclaw is air, and Gryffindor is fire. So naturally Slytherin has Potions, the liquid, Hufflepuff has Herbology, the earth and plant, Ravenclaw has Charms (Wingardium Leviosa), and Gryffindor has Transfiguration (conjuration, the transformation of one thing to another). DADA had two Ravenclaws back to back, then a Gryffindor, and *four* Slytherins. Hufflepuff would have been a proper change.
I am disappointed, but I'll hold optimism for Transfiguration.
we know so much about this game and its characters, and its crazy to think how much we still don't know, i do still think it'd be weird if, maybe not a Ravenclaw companion, but rather if the three we've seen are the only students that will actually be that important to us, i would like more options than that, i guess we'll have to wait and see
Personally, I feel that having a 3rd Slytherin Potion professor, that is male as well, is a bit lazy. Would have loved a Ravenclaw professor, since it is such a hard subject. Give me a Slytherin broom professor, one that really cares about Quidditch matches!
i‘m in love with mirabel already! really looking forward to getting to know more about her character^^
""Even Snape" BLASPHEMY, Alan Rickman is a national treasure; his Snape was iconic. His inclusion in the beloved category is mandatory! 💚
Also is Mirabel queer? Her card seemed to imply as much.
I still think Amit is our Ravenclaw companion since I feel like it would make no sense not to give us one. It would make more sense if they had gone the route of the phone game and give us one companion that joins whatever house we are in otherwise.
I'm no where near a Hogwarts expert(So feel free to teach me a thing or two), but I'm still excited for this game and as a gamer I noticed each professor serve a purpose directly to our most fundamental gameplay.
Figg - Helps you discover Ancient Magic
Sharp - Teach us potions, like the one that gives armor.
Garlick(Clever Name) - Lessons on the Plant creatures I see fighting in the gameplay trailer.
Ronen - Charms (Need help on this one, will these be buffs to your person or powers?)
and Hecat - Teaches us the basics of fighting all together.
This must be why they said Classes will only be Narrative based, its meant to teach us specific spells or gameplay mechanics for Combat with a bit of back story and hint at lore. Once the required amount of class time is over when we learn everything we need, we'll eventually jus stop going to class I assume. Hmph no wonder going to classes regularly in a sims fashion are not prioritized.
I watch many theories video of this game almost daily know but no one hasn’t mentioned this I think your on to something
So...did anyone else notice that they just outright said that Professor Garlick is a lesbian? Like I'm trying not to read too far into this but "Even if the right *witch* were to come along, she would just have to love Hogwarts as much as Mirabel does."
😒
Awesome! Loving Professor Ronen! Still wish this wasn't a prequel.
For a book lower I am impressed by characters in games. Like Gaunt, Weasley, Black. Cuz all of them were mentioned. I am not sure if there is some Prewett(ancestors of Molly Weasley) but I wish so because Mollys brothers were really cool
I think that Mirabel Garlick is a lesbian. Her character card says that "even if the right *witch* were to come along, *she'd* imply have to love Hogwarts as much as Mirabel does."
Dear god i swear if they cram this game with LGBwhatever i'm gonna be done with life
@@ripvanwinkler1548
Tough shit. It’s weird you don’t gay about the professor has a wife but get butthurt over the MENTION of her wanting a gf.
Snowflake
@@ripvanwinkler1548 Please be done with life!!
@@ripvanwinkler1548 I don't think it is gonna be a lot or shoved down your throat. I think you can forgive a few lgbt stuff since we aren't really the intended audience for anything Harry Potter related.
@@SoraKingdomss what?
I’ve had a feeling that we might be an “undercover agent” sent in from the ministry. That’s why we come out of nowhere and are expected in at year 5. Could be totally wrong but just a thought.
🤔 🤔 🤔
@@RetroRaconteurhope I’m wrong as not too keen on the idea haha
Well, the reason you come in at Year 5 is because the game designers didn't want people playing an 11-year-old doing all the dangerous things you'll probably be doing in the game.
@@Blackferret66 well that’s great insight there
According to the timeline it could fit that the headmaster is in fact Phineas Nigellus Black as the game is played in 1890 & Phineas was 43 at the time (he died in 1925)
They actually just confirmed Phineas today!
As a gryffindor, Poppy was/is my favorite companion so I was already excited to have a Hufflepuff at my side. But now my favorite professor is also a Hufflepuff?? Well guess Hufflepuff is my second preferred house now.😅👍
The one thing im really hoping for, is that there will be a beast class
Sharp literally said "I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow to the knee" and now he's teaching potions. F
It makes sense that there are more slytherin professors because the headmaster is slytherin. Sort of like hiring your frat brothers first.
Question. What is that game they are playing with the two black balls?
It’s gobstones
@@nathanlangley769 thought gobstones are small balls. Even the hogwarts programmers said you can't play gobstones in hogwarts legacy. Maybe a pre-gobstones game? Or just an old game.
my money says that game is likely a "lesson game" that incorporates the use of the summoning charm Accio and the banishing charm Depulso
@@jeremiahrobinson2680 makes sense. Because he does like to incorporate games in his teaching.
Or maybe they hired because they were the most qualified of the people who applied?
There's 4 houses and 12-16 subjects to staff. As your not pulling from the entire population(as not everyone wants to be a teacher) but rather from a smaller pool of applicants, things aren't going to shake out evenly as to what houses are represented. And assuming that it had to be pseudo-nepotism for there to be slightly more Slytherins than other houses is weird, as in the Prisoner of Azkaban, of the school staff where we know of their houses, Dumbledore has more Griffindors on staff than anyone else. Of course, most of the staff don't have their houses listed because when it comes to teaching, your knowledge and ability to work with children is more important than your values at 11 years old.
And, meta-narritively, Slytherin still has the "is the evil house of evil" reputation, as your insinuation that they only got their job because the headmaster was biased rather than their qualifications supports btw, and this is a chance to portray Slytherins who aren't tainted by the heir's influence, as well as not being used as the defacto villains of a children's series, and instead rehabilitate the house from the reputation Rowling saddled them with. Which, again, is because she only wrote one decent Slytherin who we spent any time with, and Slughorn came in on the penultimate book.
And no, Snape doesn't count because attempted to kill a student's pet using their incorrectly made potion, and then punished them because they cheated, something he knew because the potion worked(indicating he knew they wouldn't be able to fix it normally) Prisoner of Azkaban "the boggart", and planned on poisoning a student multiple times, Goblet of Fire "the weighing of the wands" and the one scene where Snape threatened to put virtuaserum in Harry's drink. It doesn't matter way heroics you do, if you spend your average day bullying and abusing children entrusted into your care, you're not a good person.
Sharp looks like the guy from the tolarian academy youtube channel.
I bet they made the potions master different from Snape by not making him someone who spends his days bullying and abusing children.
Like when Snape feeds Neville's incorrectly made potion to Trevor, knowing it would kill the toad, and then takes housepoints away because the potion worked correctly and Trevor didn't die, which meant Hermione helped Neville (which she did). Did I mention that Snape deduced Hermione helped Neville by the potion not killing the frog yet? Because that's really concerning that he expected to kill a student's pet and did it anyway.
And then in the Goblet of Fire he plans on poisoning a student to test their homemade antidotes ("the weighing of the wands"), and threatens to drug Harry with virtuaserum, neither of which is acceptable for a teacher to do.
And then there's the litanny of wildly inappropriate insults he heaps at his students.
I never got how his war hero actions were supposed to redeem him of 16 years of abusing children. People love the Snape Alan Rickman portrayed (who actually is a decent person), not the one Rowling wrote.
It’s just the fandom and fanfictiontards that misinterpret Snape wildly.
He’s a pretty horrible guy, never really intended to be ”redeemed”. His entire existence from having a muggle father, pureblood mother, growing up abused and getting into the dark arts is a direct parallel to Voldemort.
The point of Snape as a character was to show that the only thing keeping him from becoming like Voldemort was his ability to love.
My favourite is ronen so far, but as a Ravenclaw I also really like our dada teacher
Noticed that Professor Binns was still teaching History of Magic...
Always imagined a funny version of that class taking the place of the Ghostbusters live show at Universal.
Imagine you having to answer questions from your house (according to your seat), and every now and then something funny coming in to interrupt the professor's sleep-inducing classes.
I watched the original trailer for the Game and am certain that Ranrok is after us which is why we're at Hogwarts, as according to Hagrid, "Ain't no place safer"
We’re just gonna glaze over the fact that in garlicks description it said “ if another WITCH were to come along she’d have to live Hogwarts as much as her” 🤔 suspicious 😊
Yeah maybe cause it’s not really suspicious, that’s a weird word to use haha. it’s just facts that she be gaaaaay and that’s not actually interesting lol
@@elmondo-s1e I was saying it’s suspicious he skipped over it I’m really hoping we have a gay or bi teacher loving the rep sorry it sounded weird😅
@OkiHabu I think it’s a matter of not wanting to anger a community like religions because so many people branch off of the “main” religion like some Jewish/Islamic people don’t follow the strict diet of their religion, what I’m saying is it’s hard to represent an entire community without angering some because some people want this some follow that , whereas with the lgbtqia+ community any representation is considered a “together” representation (like having one queer character is showing support for all queer groups, if that makes sense) , and I also believe they were hoping for it to just be in the background not have it as their pull for queer people and if queer people join because of it great but if not that’s not what they were going for. 😁
@OkiHabu I think you missed what I was saying you brought politics and religion into a simple conversation of sexual identity it is not queer bait and to be honest the message flew over most people’s heads I don’t know why you’re so desperate to hate the game for this but if you don’t want it don’t get it and leave others alone
@@Golden_ghost7321 I'm a little worried about the world building though since its set in the 1800s and the magical world is shown to be behind the rest of the world on matters of equality in the Harry Potter movies. Still, bet she's going to be a wonderful character
"Errr, hello everyone, my name is Professor Maths McKinsey; I'm your new maths teacher. Hope the embroidered numbers all over my robes didn't give me away!"
Just kidding, the Wizarding World doesn't believe in mathematics... or, water saving toilets.
Hat girl looks like Luna lovegood a bit..with other colored hair ofc.
Oh no. That herbology professor is so getting rule 34rd.
Also she's gay. They took 2 sentences out of her 6 sentence bio to be sure you knew that. How much you want to bet JK wrote those herself.
Abraham Ronan looks very similar to Flavious Belby found on a chocolate frog card in the mobile game Hogwarts Mystery, knows for being the only known wizard to have survived a Lethifold attack. Considering the same studio worked on the game it’s interesting how similar these two characters are 🤔
Me: (reading the title) technically this is a very old era lol 😂
Professor Binns is there too. Is he a Gryffindor professor?
to much expectations may kill your dreams
Each of the professors personalities fits the subject they teach. I suspect the charms professor likes to take his students Zonko’s to put Whoopi’s cushions under the head masters chair. The hardass for potions provides context and backround for as to why Snape was given that class. As this game takes place in the 1880’s.
Great Thumbnail for a great video, Retro 👍🏾
as i always expect from you 😉
keep up the excellent work my friend!
Much appreciated, Naguura!
@@RetroRaconteur
Always a pleasure 🤗
If a computer-animated show series gets made that is based on these VideoGames someday; I would like to see a student from RavenClaw become be part of the main group of characters who are friends with each other.
See I imagine one character from RavenClaw, 2 characters from Hufflepuff, 2 from Gryffindor, and one genuine good person from Slytherin.
So while reading professor Mirabel garlick text card the line
So even if the right witch we're to come along, she'd simply have to love Hogwarts as much as Mirabel does.
Now at first I thought it meant something else but on closer inspection of the sentence what it's trying to is there would have to be another witch to love Hogwarts just as much as Mirabel
you just reworded the original sentence lol
you don't say that and not have her be gay lol. Idk what other possible interpretation there could be that would fit the previous lines
She's a lesbian who if she ever fell in love, the woman she fell in love with would have to love Hogwarts as much as she, a lesbian, does.
Loved this video! Fantastic voice cuts for the professors. Fantastic editing!
Thank you, Tim! Definitely took a bit longer on this edit. Glad someone took notice of those professor cuts 😄
Just bought the game today. I'm excited.
and get the butterflies out of MY GREEN HOUSE
Just a small note: the name Aesop is said less like EE-Sop and more like the way you say A when singing the alphabet and then sop.
It’s pronounced EE-sop.

I love seeing your notifications pop up
Thank you, soundtrack!
1:45 trust me its not crazy!! As an obsessed Star Wars fan a well executed game makes you really attached to the given character. Cal Kestis is easily one of my favourite characters now! so if Hogwarts legacy can hit a homer like Jedi Fallen order this will become a classic!
This game is gonna be huge maybe in the future if it gets popular it might have multiplayer dlc I don’t mind if it’s dlc
still wanna romance Mirabel with my cheeky teenage swag
If anyone's an exact copy of the books professor, it's the Herbology professor. Like seriously, I'd have switched it up a bit, having the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher be a Hufflepuff in this version.
The real question, is will our character be able to bend Mirabel over a table and tap dat?
After it was revealed there was two Weasleys I wonder whose the second.
i wanna know the head professors of the houses
i think Aesop Sharp has more in common with Moody than Dina Hecat because of his past as a former Auror
Got to admit, while I am interested in this game, I am really interested in seeing how elements of this game will be used in Harry Potter fanfiction
Asap sharp is definetly Snape inspired.
I never really got why people looked down on those not born from non-magical families as they are the first of their family tree of magic. They are naturally made wizards who didn't get their magic from their parents but got it naturally.
Well it's similar to how monarchies used to be and how much incest permeated Europe back in the day for the sake of "keeping the bloodline pure". It's hogwash and just a way for those in power to stay in power.
A muggle born witch isn't taking magic away from anyone else nor is she watering it down, but the lie that she is keeps pureblood families in power and justifies mistreatment and cruelty towards her.
@@lornadune2506 Thanks for clearing that up.
i wonder if they are going to go into any pureblood politics in this game and if they have accurate portrayals of blood status in different houses (slytherin being especially bigoted). could be an interesting dynamic in side missions
I hope the Ravenclaw 'companion' will be a companion. He'll just bellyache and whinge everytime you bring him somewhere where it gets dangerous and make puns about how he is 'too old for this' or something.
There is a chance Garlick may not be muggle born... Harry Potter also grew up in a house full of muggles and he wasnt muggle born.
Whoa, that's a good point! That wording does seem intentional and never mentioned anything about the muggles being her family 🤔
I really hope we get ancient runes class as that’s the class Professor figg teaches
I don't think we've seen the Heads yet. Any of them. I would think they'd all be shown at the same time, or kept secret as a surprise.
I think there isn't so much a rule that all 4 Houses must be represented, so much as there are only 4 Houses and at least three times as many classes, so odds are VERY high there's always at least one.
Where our GRYFINDOR professor at!
Go to gameplay showcase and Phineas Black is confirmed as head Master at 20 minutes 49 seconds.
In Order of the Phoenix there is a Black on the wall that died in 1893. Can't remember their name but would be interested to see if they put any Blacks in the game.
the head master of the school is a black.
Phineas Nigellus Black's eldest son was born in 1877, so he could be in the game
Yeah were gonna see members of the Black family cuz there were an Ancient wizarding family for generations
I still miss Cedric and Snape 😢😢😢😢😂😂😂😂
is Old Era teacher not New Era the game base on story before harry potter
Headmaster will probably be Grynffindor
Are there gonna be transfiguration classes?
They haven't mentioned transfiguration yet. I hope it's in there.
🤞🤞🤞
It annoys me so much that the Potions' Professor is literally Snape... even more him because of his original description with beard.
he sounds more like Moody than Snape to me.
Professor Hecat: Hecate was the godess of witchcraft, death, the moon, necromancy, etc
Ronen probably will be a traitor, or the herb teacher.
Pls tell me there's a way to romance the professors, cause like Mirabel brooo 😭
Somehow I don't think a 15 year old can date their professors.
Dating a teacher is a problematic power dynamic to have when everyone is an adult, but when one of them is a kid? No.
@@the_last_ballad Aging potion 😈😈😈
She gay bro.
Wait, where is it rumorered that there is gonna be a Professor Weasley?
www.reddit.com/r/HarryPotterGame/comments/wg4qp5/weasley_professor/?
i beg they make a multiplayer online mode if this game suceed
That first professor xD
Dinah hecat, wouldn't be a nod to Alice in wonderland would it?
MMMMM I WANT TO COSPLAY AS MIRABEL GARLICK so badly
i bet sharp was a good Auror like many others...until he took an Arrow to the knee.
actual its the old era since this is before harrypotter
Old era, but new info and new professors to all of us.
Mirabel a baddie i aint never missin her class😏
Unless I've misunderstood the mention of 'the right witch' in Mirabel's bio, it sounds like we might have a bit of same-sex representation. Intrigued by how it'll be handled in the time period, and the difference between muggle and magic perspectives.
The more i hear about this game the morei will love it
Did they just confirm that professor Mirabelle is in fact a lesbian
9:03 dam, for such a name she has an evil as hell look lol
Look all I wanna know is can I be an asshole like in Bully. If I can do that then I’m 100% buying it. I’m not a Harry Potter fan, but I’m like teetering on getting this because it looks fun. I just wanna goof around.
I’m so unbelievably excited, the professors sound magnificent. I’ve finally made progress on redesigning my animal crossing island to be hogwarts themed, I need to channel my excitement somewhere and the ACNH 2.0 items are too good to pass up 🥹
I suspect there might be more teachers and I suspect the Principal is a Griffindor
Interesting cause professor Ronan and professor Aesop are both chocolate frog cards I know cause I have earned them in Hogwarts mysteries game I don't know about the others though
