Throughout the Harry Potter universe, a lot evolves. We see characters face mortality, forge and break relationships, tackle increasingly daunting challenges, and venture into a dazzling variety of settings. Despite these shifts, a few things remain constant, helping to define its essence. One such enduring aspect is Harry’s fascination with magical creatures, a theme warmly embraced by Hogwarts Legacy.
Hogwarts Legacy places magical creatures prominently within its side quests. Whether you’re confronting the imposing Acromantula, tending to lovable Puffskeins, or making use of Hippogriffs and Thestrals as mounts, the game offers a rich tapestry of fantastical beasts. With speculation around a possible sequel, fans would likely be thrilled to see even more magical creatures added to this enchanting lineup, especially those they’ve been eager to encounter in the game.
### Magical Beasts That Should Make an Appearance in Hogwarts Legacy 2
#### More Dragons
Dragons have always captured the imagination in the Harry Potter realm, and Hogwarts Legacy certainly didn’t shy away from this majestic creature. During a quest with Poppy Sweeting, players disrupt an underground dragon fighting ring, providing a handful of intense encounters with these formidable beasts. These moments were brief yet exhilarating, leaving fans hoping for more dragon interactions in any upcoming sequel.
The next chapter of Hogwarts Legacy could revolve around a clever quest where dragon eggs are pilfered from a merchant. Throughout the sequel, players might discover these eggs hatching into various dragon breeds, like the fierce Hungarian Horntail or the vivid Chinese Fireball. Each type could introduce unique challenges—some might call for stealth, while others might demand dueling prowess.
#### The Basilisk
When Hogwarts Legacy launched in 2023, whispers spread that a Basilisk, reminiscent of the one from “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,” was roaming Hogwarts Castle. Though this turned out to be mere rumor, the potential sequel offers a perfect opportunity to bring this spine-chilling creature into the storyline.
#### Demiguise
The first Hogwarts Legacy gave a nod to the elusive Demiguise through collectible statues. This ape-like entity has the ability to vanish and foretell future events, which could introduce intriguing narrative twists and gameplay mechanics in a sequel. Imagine the Demiguise acting like Ghost of Tsushima’s Golden Songbird, guiding players to undiscovered secrets.
#### Erkling
In the sprawling tapestry of Wizarding World beasts, few are as nightmarish as the Erkling. Hailing from European folklore, these elf-like creatures are notorious for luring children with their eerie songs and laughter before abducting them. While a bit darker than usual for the Harry Potter series, they could infuse a slice of Witcher-esque horror into the next Hogwarts Legacy chapter.
#### Grindylow
Native to the waters around England, Scotland, and Ireland, the Grindylow might serve as a thrilling aquatic foe should Hogwarts Legacy 2 encourage players to explore more of the underwater world surrounding Hogwarts.
There’s a palpable excitement about the creatures and adventures that might await in the sequel to Hogwarts Legacy. By introducing new magical beasts and building on the immersive world, future installments could captivate players just as much as their beloved predecessors have.
