While the latter twoFantastic Beastsmovies struggled at the box office, theHarry Potterfranchise has otherwise been a massive success. TheHarry Pottermovies are some of the highest-grossing films in box office history, andHogwarts Legacyhas smashed sales records. Considering how popular both theHarry Pottermovies and theHogwarts Legacyvideo game are, it’s no surprise that fans were excited to see the two worlds collide.

This happened in a recent video whereDraco Malfoy actor Tom Feltonplayed through Sebastian Sallow’s quest inHogwarts Legacy. During the video, Felton discussed his experiences with theHarry Potterfranchise while playing the game as his custom-made character. As he explored the Slytherin common room, Felton was asked if the game felt like “home.” Felton can be seen tearing up as he answers the question, saying, “Yeah, it feels like home. And yet brand-new and exciting and oddly reminiscent of my childhood.”
Felton playing theSebastian Sallow quest inHogwarts Legacywas part of a renewed marketing push for the game, coinciding with its launch on PS4 and Xbox One consoles. While there was some concern that the PS4 and Xbox One versions ofHogwarts Legacywould be far inferior to their PS5 and Xbox Series X counterparts, the consensus seems to be that the game runs just fine on the older hardware.
It’s possible that the multiple release date delays for thePS4 and Xbox One versions ofHogwarts Legacyare what allowed the game to perform so well on PS4 and Xbox One consoles. Nintendo Switch gamers will be hoping that the latest big delay that version of the game has suffered will do the same. Once set for a July 25 release date, it was recently announced that the Nintendo Switch port ofHogwarts Legacyhas been pushed all the way back to November 14.
TheNintendo Switch port ofHogwarts Legacyhasn’t been seen in action yet, so it will be interesting to see how it turns out. In the meantime,Harry Potterfans on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles, even those that have yet to upgrade to the newer hardware, can play through the game in its entirety, including the Sebastian Sallow quest that Tom Felton can be seen playing in the video.
Hogwarts Legacyis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X with a Nintendo Switch version coming November 14.
