    Hogwarts Legacy - Three Years Later | Is it still good in 2026?

    Step back into the Wizarding World with me as I revisit Hogwarts Legacy three years after its release, a moment that feels perfect for a fresh look at what the game got right, where it stumbled, and how it has aged over time. In this episode, I explore the castle design and worldbuilding choices that shaped our experience of the school, break down the combat system’s strengths and limitations, and reflect on the features and ideas that could have taken the game even further.

    How Hogwarts was RUINED in Deathly Hallows

    So the Harry Potter reboot has been officially announced. I was wondering which version of the castle they might use for it, would they use a version of the castle from the original films or would they go in a new direction? Well it looks like we’ve got our answer. And it’s the movie version. Unless Warner Brothers were just hastily re-using assets in a last-minute announcement, but that definitely wouldn’t be the case right, they’ve never done that before… What’s interesting though is they are specifically using the version of the castle from Deathly Hallows, complete with its viaduct. In this podcastm me and a friend will dive into the history of the Deathly Hallows version of the castle, why it’s shunned by fans and why it’s now returning for the Harry Potter series.

    Hogwarts Expert REVIEWS Harry Potter Theme Park

    Today, I’m finally talking about the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park at Universal Studios Florida. This park is a childhood dream come true for Harry Potter fans, with two lands spanning across Universal Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Florida. You can experience the thrill of riding the Hogwarts Express, explore the streets of Diagon Alley, and take a stroll through Hogsmeade village. The park is filled with exciting rides, shows, and attractions that will transport you to the world of Harry Potter. And the most exciting part for me is, I’ve finally visited it. Hosted on Acast.

    Is this the end of Harry Potter? | Harry Potter HBO Max Deep Dive

    Harry Potter is getting rebooted as a television show, but why? In an era of legacy sequels and connected universes, where canon is king, why is Warner Brothers ditching its iconic cast in favour of a new one? In this deep dive, I explore how we got here, from the breakdown between J.K. Rowling and the original cast to the filming of the new series. I look at why a reunion was never on the table, why HBO chose safety over reinvention, and why the new show looks almost identical to the films we already know. I also go out and explore the new show first hand, driving to the actual set of the show, and embarking on a hunt for the new Hogwarts Express steam engine. This isn’t just about a TV show. It’s about nostalgia, creative control, culture wars, and what happens when a world that once felt like home becomes impossible to return to. Is this reboot a second chance… or proof that the magic can’t be recreated? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
