Still, review aggregator site Metacritic awarded the release a score of 85 out of 100, based on more than 60 different critics’ opinions. Even before its release, “Hogwarts Legacy” elicited strong opinions online, as “Harry Potter” author JK Rowling has faced accusations of transphobia for putting an emphasis on biological sex over gender identity. The so-called open world format allows characters to roam around inside the fictional Scottish castle, attending magic classes and casting spells as they compete in quests. In the game, developed by Avalanche Software and edited by Warner Bros’ Portkey Games, players virtually explore the “Harry Potter” universe as a student attending the magical Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 1800s. The highly anticipated video game “Hogwarts Legacy” was met with largely positive reviews after its release Friday, despite some gameplay quibbles and the controversy that has dogged the Wizarding World’s original creator.
