Hogwarts Legacy fans often engage in heated debates over various aspects of the game, rarely reaching a consensus. Despite being aimed at a teenage audience, the game contains significant violence. One harsh reality accepted by nearly all players is that the main character is notably ruthless.
As noted by fans on Reddit, the main character is considered to be even more brutal than the most notorious Harry Potter villains. Players argue that this character is “worse than Voldemort,” exhibiting borderline genocidal tendencies when dealing with enemies in Hogwarts Legacy.
One Brutal Fact All Hogwarts Legacy Fans Agree On
“The King Von Of Wizards”
Hogwarts Legacy is classified as a teen-friendly game, and while it lacks excessive blood or gore, it certainly does not shy away from violence. Although many elements of the game have sparked debate, one undeniable truth remains about the main character: they are utterly ruthless.
As gluestick3000 points out, “The number of goblins you kill should constitute ethnic cleansing,” contrasting this with Voldemort’s record of killing perhaps only 20 people. Players like epidipnis concur, stating that “you break into people’s homes, steal their belongings, and they act as if they don’t even notice you. They’re too scared to react,” which is undeniably more frightening.
Fans have embraced the brutality of the main character, with LHPSU commenting, “[Voldemort] murdered six people to create horcruxes. I murdered six people before breakfast. We’re not the same.” They have even ridiculed Voldemort’s capabilities, with IndianaCahones asserting, “Voldemort is overrated. The noseless ‘lord’ lost to a baby,” and Lucifer2695 claiming that the main character in Hogwarts Legacy “would never lose to a freaking baby.”
Maybe Voldemort Wasn’t So Bad After All…
While Voldemort is portrayed in canon as one of the most evil characters in the HP universe, it is clear that the main character in Hogwarts Legacy goes beyond anything that Voldemort has ever done regarding ruthlessly eliminating goblins and bandits.
Ultimately, it may be wise to reconsider any judgments about the dark lord, especially since it is certain that the next installment of Hogwarts Legacy will feature an equally relentless protagonist capable of similar atrocities. The sequel, Hogwarts Legacy 2, is currently under development, with expectations for its release possibly as soon as this year or by 2027.
