The chances of Dumbledore being in Hogwarts Legacy are meager, despite its time setting.
One of the most awaited games by Harry Potter fans this year is Hogwarts Legacy by Avalanche Studio. What can be better than an RPG set in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter? The timeline this game follows is nearly a century before the events of the books. Players will be required to live the life of a student of Hogwarts in the late 1800s.
Who is Dumbledore?
Dumbledore is the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was Transfiguration and Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor. His full name is Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, an English half-blood wizard. He lost his family at a relatively young age in Azkaban. He was the son of Percival and Kendra Dumbledore and the elder brother of Aberforth and Ariana. This significantly impacted his personality, and he never decided to walk on the dark path.
Why are fans expecting Dumbledore to feature in Hogwarts Legacy?
Harry Potter's fans assumed there would be known characters from the series, such as Dumbledore, in Hogwarts Legacy as an NPC. This game takes place in the late 19th century, and Dumbledore was also the academy's headmaster, so speculating about his appearance makes sense. But according to the game's timeline, Dumbledore would most likely be a student at that time.
Will Dumbledore be in Hogwarts Legacy?
It is still an element of surprise whether characters from Harry Potter can be seen in Hogwarts Legacy. There has yet to be any official announcement or trailer giving hints about the appearance of any known character. Since this is an RPG, Hogwarts Legacy will indeed have NPCs. The only hint given by Avalanche was that the game would take place during the late 1800s. Dumbledore first came to this wonderful school of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1892; there's a chance he could appear.
However, the fact that his journey is predetermined by the events of the extended Harry Potter canon means that players cannot affect his trajectory. It implies that Dumbledore's narrative is too linear for the open-world promise of Hogwarts Legacy. Dumbledore was Head Boy when he departed Hogwarts in 1899. The great surprise, though, is the death of his mother, Kendra, in an eruption of magic the same summer.
