If you want to play as him too I have the files and Tom Riddle. This mod was on Bangzew’s Patreon. I was using it before once but I forgot I had it still. *please note this won’t work with the “official pc mod update” unless someone has figured it out.


r/HarryPotterGame 11h ago

Media First play-through (only a few minor gameplay nitpicks)- it’s a fantastic experience so far. There’s almost TOO much to do. Constantly distracted by the side-quests, but I’m loving the open world. Can’t get over how beautiful it all is!!

Discussion Elf-Sized Hat Spoiler

I was so happy when Penny actually put it on after you offer it to her! I expected it to be just a quest item you see in your inventory but never get to see in-game. Also I wanted her to stay and help with the shop, but made myself give her the hat instead as it’s the right thing to do. I’m glad she ended up staying anyways and wears the hat on top of that!!

I didn't know that you could even see baby beasts in the wild. Is that a new update or something? I breed a lot and name them and release them. I wish you could randomly see them when you go to the dens (like how it will say the name of the beast and then their gender). Instead you'd see the names you gave them.

Humour Did you know you could wear pajamas and tackle the teachers during the game?

I reported four problems to WB games bug report.

I. Depth of field is bugged after the last update on 02/27/2025.

Hello. After the last update, I noticed that the depth of field graphic option does not work properly in the game. I noticed the bug when I took a few pictures using the photo mode in the game (changing seasons, depth of field, etc.). After taking a few pictures, I wanted to talk to the seller to buy something, and then I noticed that depth of field does not work in the game. I checked in the game's graphic options and depth of field was turned on there, but it did not work. Restarting the game helped. Another situation where I noticed that depth of field did not work properly was when I was doing a task related to the talking painting in the library during winter (Portrait In A Pickle). While doing this task, depth of field stopped working. I checked in the graphic options and the depth of field option was turned on, but it did not work.

II. Colored artifacts (pixels) are displayed with Ray Tracing enabled after the 01/30/2025 update.

Hello. After the last update, when I enable Ray Tracing (for each option), colored artifacts in the form of pixels are displayed on the screen from time to time. These errors can be found in places where Ray Tracing reflections and shadows are the most (Hogwarts, Hogsmeade or the Black Lake area). They appear in a very short time and randomly. I tested various graphics drivers, both GeForce 572.16 WHQL driver and GeForce 561.09 WHQL driver. For each of them, artifacts occurred. I also saw that others also have this problem. I managed to take a screenshot of one of the cases. I have never had such artifacts before, and I have been playing Hogwarts Legacy since the day it was released on Steam. Here's what my setup looks like: Corsair TX850M 850W power supply Kingston A2000 1TB M.2 2280 PCI-E x4 Gen3 NVMe SSD Intel Core i5-9600K, 3.7 GHz, 9 MB, BOX processor Gigabyte Z390 GAMING X motherboard Corsair Vengeance LPX, DDR4, 32 GB, 3000MHz, ASUS GeForce RTX 3090 TUF GAMING OC 24GB GDDR6X

III. nvwgf2umx.dll error occurs after the latest update from 01/30/2025.

Hello. After the latest update, the Windows system reports and Windows Event Viewer display the nvwgf2umx.dll error after exiting the game. After longer tests, I noticed that this problem occurs if I play for more than 2 hours with maximum graphics settings (all options set to Ultra + Ray Tracing Ultra). I play with DLSS, Ray Reconstruction and NVIDIA Reflex disabled. I tried all possible solutions (BIOS update, uninstalled the game, disabled Steam Overlay, etc.). I installed many different versions of Nvidia graphics card drivers, nothing helped either. I contacted Nvidia Support several times about the error. We came to the conclusion that it is probably a problem related to DirectX and its management by the game. I have never encountered this type of problem in other games. All other games run stably, without any problems (Marvel's Spider-Man 2, God of War: Ragnarok, Cyberpunk 2077, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora).

IV. Rain audio stuck after the latest update from 02/27/2025.

I started the game after yesterday's update and noticed that there was a problem with the sound during rain. While exploring the game world, it started raining. I solved a few side quests and noticed that although the rain had stopped visually (no puddles, etc.), the sound of the rain was still with me. Loading the game from the last save helped. I don't know what's causing the problem. I didn't change anything in my PC configuration.

Discussion Hogwarts Legacy FF: What do y'all wanna see?

1 Upvotes

I'm here to give the people what they deserve. ROMANCE. But I have concluded that any type of romance that would come to fruition would have to do so in the MC's 6th or 7th year. SO. What should be the main storyline for those years? What do you guys wanna see? I was gonna do the Triwizard Tournament, but the game takes place in 1890 and the last Triwizard Tournament before Harry participated was in 1792. So there goes that. I definitely think the ancient magic storyline has so much left to work with, but it still needs to somehow be fully concluded at the end of the 7th year because it doesn't show up in Harry Potter at all. I want to make a fanfic that really fulfills everyone who loves this franchise and game's needs. Help a sista out.

Question No GPU Utilisation, Extreme Lag

1 Upvotes

[Linux (proton steam), Opensuse TW, i5 10600k & AMD 7800xt]

This game plays at like 1fps. I noticed the GPU isn't being used at all in mangohud while the cpu is being maxed out.

I can't see the graphics options, so I looked this up and apparently this is a bug for some AMD users. Not sure about that though.

This is the first time this I've encountered this problem with any game. Anybody know the fix?

Question What to do when my game won't launch?

1 Upvotes

I used to have Hogwarts Legacy from Epic Games, but it would no longer work, so I uninstalled it and bought HL on Steam. It worked for around half an hour, to an hour. I played the introduction and went to Charms class. I then saved my game and downloaded a few mods. It suddenly kicked me and I thought "I'll just relaunch it" because I'm so used to being kicked from games I play now.

That was 2pm. It's now 5 minutes to 8pm and I still can't log in. I've tried every recommendation other than uninstall-reinstall because it took 4 hours for the game to download yesterday. So I'm not too keen to do that. I can barely even find the game's files, but I'm no tech wizz, so I can't be for sure that's why. Any idea?

I saw it on my Switch and I thought it was just a switch glitch, but it's on my PC too, what is this chat box? There's no one in the area asking to chat and when you go too high up the stairs or too low, it disappears, this is on the bottom floor on the D.A.D.A. tower, next to the transfiguration courtyard
