With its success of being one of the biggest releases of 2023 so far, Hogwarts Legacy is still surprising players with Easter eggs paying homage to iconic locations found in the Harry Potter books and movies. One Hogwarts Legacy player has seemingly found an important location from the Harry Potter installment Prisoner of Azkaban, a place many fans of the franchise will recognize.
Although Hogwarts Legacy has only been out for a little over a month now, there are still many surprises for Harry Potter fans to discover within the game. Since its release, Hogwarts Legacy players have spotted surprising references that are taken straight from some of the most iconic moments in the franchise. Players are still unearthing tons of mysteries and secrets that keep many coming back for more.
One player happened to recently come across what appears to be one of the most recognizable locations seen in the movie adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the third installment in the series. The area discovered in the game is the lake where Harry believes he sees his father, an incredibly important moment in the franchise. With Hogwarts Legacy containing so many references, it's not surprising to see this type of Easter egg, but it is definitely exciting for many fans who happen to come across it.
The lake also apparently references stags, which is the specific Patronus that shows up at the lake, leading Harry to believe the Patronus was his father. Of course, those that have read the book or seen the movie knows that there's a lot more to the scene, and it's not exactly what Harry thinks. Whether players have found Easter eggs through actual content or mods in Hogwarts Legacy, there's no doubt that many fans have loved getting to experience these moments from the books and movies in a different light.
Despite being available on the market for just a short amount of time, Hogwarts Legacy has already exceeded the expectations of many and has grown to potentially be one of the biggest games of the year. Many fans of the title are wishing for more games like Hogwarts Legacy, and with such positive feedback from so many players that may be possible in the future. Until then, there are still plenty of incredible hidden secrets to discover in the game.
Hogwarts Legacy is available now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, with PS4 and Xbox One versions launching May 5 and a Switch port releasing July 25.
