The tribute to the actor of Hagrid in Hogwarts Legacy
Through a tiktokthe user Why…So.Sirius shows the way to reach the tomb of Hagrid. First he takes off on his broomstick from the clock tower and flies south, right by the side where the iconic ranger’s cabin was located in the film franchise. At the back of the place, you can see a tombstone with the carved image of Buckbeak the hippogriffwhom we met in “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”.
Even though the game doesn’t technically fit into the films’ timeline (it takes place some 100 years before Potter’s arrival at Hogwarts), fans appreciate the fact that it chose to nod to the character from Coltrane.
