When Hogwarts Legacy arrived in 2023 and pretty much gave them fans what they’d been asking for, the immediate question “is there more?” We could take potions class (without a monster of a potions master bullying us), go shopping in Hogsmeade, say ‘Revelio!’ 5 times a second and get lost in the astronomy tower. The game sold millions of copies, and immediately everyone wanted to know: when are we getting another one?
Well, Warner Bros. Discovery has finally acknowledged that a second Hogwarts Legacy game is on the way, confirming the sequel in an official letter to shareholders. It’s perhaps not the most exciting way to announce a return to Hogwarts, especially when we would probably have preferred a trailer featuring a dragon or two, but we’ll take what we can get. The original game took players back to the 1890s, long before the Chamber of Secrets was opened, long before the Marauders ran riot, and long before Harry, Ron, and Hermione were causing chaos at Hogwarts.
In its second-quarter 2026 shareholder letter, Warner Bros. discussed the future of its gaming division and dropped this rather important piece of information:
We expect Games to more meaningfully contribute to segment profitability going forward as our pipeline expands, including the second installment of Hogwarts Legacy.

- You speak up in the room where it costs you something.
- You would rather be wrong and brave than right and silent.
- People come to you when something needs facing.
- Dominic McLaughlin takes over as Harry in HBO’s series, which arrives in 2027 after
filming through 2025 and 2026. - Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson were all cast in 2000, aged eleven, ten and
ten. - The Sorting Hat on screen was a practical puppet before any digital work went near it.
- You think three moves ahead and say one of them out loud.
- You are loyal to a small circle and ruthless about the rest.
- Being underestimated has always suited you.
- Alan Rickman knew Snape’s ending from Rowling years before the films got there, and
played it accordingly. - Tom Felton read for Harry and for Ron before landing Draco.
- Paapa Essiedu takes the role of Snape in HBO’s series.
- You are the one who remembers, and who follows through.
- You do the unglamorous part nobody volunteers for.
- Your word has never needed a backup.
- Robert Pattinson played Cedric Diggory in Goblet of Fire a year before he was cast in
Twilight. - Eddie Redmayne’s Newt Scamander put a Hufflepuff at the center of five Fantastic Beasts
films. - The common room sits beside the kitchens, which is the most Hufflepuff detail in the books.
- You would rather be corrected than comfortable.
- You notice the thing nobody else in the room noticed.
- You have never been able to leave a question alone.
- Evanna Lynch was cast as Luna from an open call of roughly fifteen thousand girls, having
written to Rowling as a fan. - The tower door asks a riddle rather than a password, so a Ravenclaw can be locked out by
thinking too slowly. - Luna, Flitwick and Rowena Ravenclaw are all originals, which is rather the point of the
house.
What Do We Know About ‘Hogwarts Legacy 2’?
Players took control of a fifth-year student — yeah, as if they’d admit someone who’d been mysteriously hidden — who had a mysterious connection to some ancient magic, and found themselves in a war between goblins, dark wizards and the rest.
The game was more than just a success — it was a cultural phenomenon. Despite fears of the game sinking without a trace due to speculation of a boycott over the J.K. Rowling controversy, it actually sold more than anticipated, with even non-Potterheads finding themselves enchanted by the game and a huge part of the appeal was simply being able to exist in the Wizarding World without following the story of the original books, while allowing you to behave like the kind of student Professor McGonagall would have absolutely hated.
The second installment of Hogwarts Legacy has been confirmed by Warner Bros. Discovery, although an official title, release date, and platforms have yet to be announced. Stay tuned to Collider for all the latest news and updates on the biggest and best movies and shows heading to your favorite streaming platforms soon.
