What role will classes play in Hogwarts Legacy?

The developers of Hogwarts Legacy assured fans that the game will deliver an experience that will certainly meet players' expectations from the magical world of Harry Potter.

Stepping into Hogwarts as a fifth grader, they'll explore the famous castle from top to bottom and solve its puzzles and secrets throughout the game.

Players will be able to customize their witches and wizards, choose their home for the sorting hat ceremony, and go to certain common rooms to interact with other students. The game will highlight the life of a student at Hogwarts - attending various classes and sharpening his magical abilities.

How can attending classes at Hogwarts Legacy affect the course of the game?

As fifth-year students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, players will attend classes to learn about "mastering spells, making potions, taming magical beasts, and more." As for the types of classes to be found in Hogwarts Legacy, the official website states:

Both the gameplay and the first trailer showcased the various topics taught in the famous school. The players took a look at the different professors responsible for their different eccentricities. Fans even treated the familiar face of Professor Binns.

The question then remains how the developers are going to fit the classes into the game of Hogwarts Legacy. Given that the game will feature an elaborate wizarding world with locations beyond the castle walls and an emphasis on the exploration aspect, players are wondering how attending classes will fit in. A Reddit post by u/johnliufromjk also discusses the same thing.

The comments below the post discuss various modalities about what going to or listening to classes will mean for the actors' characters. According to one, the classes will affect the progression of the levels, some of them will be tied to the story in the form of a certain spell that players need to know.

Classes in each subject can teach their own subject, such as new spells and potions, and how to master them. These can be done through mini-games tailored to each topic. For example, the reviewer for the Flying classes notes that there may be an obstacle course that, when perfectly completed, could allow players to purchase or upgrade their broomsticks.

More advanced lessons can also be unlocked once players have progressed far enough by completing various missions during their exploration. Classes can also work by moving the time forward. Players are also wondering if they can sit down for the OWLs fifth graders at Hogwarts have to take.

WB Games Avalanche will release Hogwarts Legacy during the Holiday season later this year. Players are eagerly waiting to see if the developers will share any other tips or information about the game's classes and other mechanics in the meantime.
