The pre-order information for Hogwarts Legacy was revealed over the past few days. The Gamescom 2022 trailer showcased another Unforgivable Curse being used after the iconic Death Curse appeared in the March gameplay reveal. The pre-order option for all the editions is online for players to pick up.

While one would have imagined that the community would be elated with the new information, the reality has been quite the opposite. For many, the Collector's Edition is a greedy move from Warner Bros. and is quite underwhelming.

Potterheads have also realized that there will be an exclusive quest and potion recipe for those who purchase the game on PlayStation. This has been another piece of information that has gone down poorly with the community. The speculation and rumors surrounding the exclusive items forced WB Games to address fans' concerns in a series of tweets yesterday.

Hogwarts Legacy is a dream come true for those ardent Harry Potter fans who have been waiting years for a fully-fleshed out RPG set in the Potterverse. It would be disappointing to see the title be bogged down by such practices that are perceived as greedy by fans.
