Who was the headmaster? What challenges did students face? What influenced their society before Tom Riddle, before Newt Scamander? I like to say that what we are giving fans is something familiar in a way they have never seen. We are always asking ourselves how we can draw from the rich library of characters, creatures, and themes – and imagine how those details would influence the school more than a century before Harry Potter’s arrival. The Portkey Games label gave us a unique opportunity to return to Hogwarts during a different era. What’s more, we take seriously the responsibility of contributing new content to the beloved Wizarding World franchise. Every department understands that immersive storytelling works best when it is woven throughout the DNA of the project. “How should this character’s voice change when they drink Polyjuice?” “How long do house-elves live?” “Are Graphorns omnivores?” These are the types of questions that drive us toward authenticity, and the types of questions you only think to ask when you have steeped yourself in the lore.ĭeveloping Hogwarts Legacy at Avalanche is a team endeavor. Sometimes I stop to appreciate the surreal nature of my story meetings.
