Just to go a step further, I sometimes watch other people game in order to git gud myself and am so bored through it. People who enjoy watching other people game? I don't get it.

I understand people who enjoy watching other people play more than those who don't enjoy it but watch anyways

The way the whole environment changes between seasons / parts of the school year is great. Not only the major seasons, but there are subtle changes during a given season. Fall starts out looking like generic autumn but then more leaves drop and you see the jack o lantern decorations come out after a time. Same thing leading up to Xmas during the winter part of the game.

Helps capture the whole environment of the books/movies despite the amount of time you spend as a 16 year old murder hobo

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I might actually be enjoying this more than Elden Ring (and I loved ER and sunk over 150 hours into it). The story is so much easier to follow in HL, HL isn’t frustratingly difficult, at least not yet, and the setting is fantastic.

Ok pro tip for those that have the PS5 preorder bonuses particularly the hogsmead quest.

1) It will not show up until after you complete the 2nd keeper
2) You have to have completed the transformation quest (Weasley)
3) If you have the physical edition, enter the codes.

Best quest in the game so far (you get to own your own shop)

southeast corner of hogsmead called “mind your own business” once it is unlocked.

Thanks Ut. I’ll have to make sure and do it soon. I don’t see it at Hogsmead though so I must still need to do the Weasley transformation quest, whatever that is. (For reference I just unlocked Alohomora)

Hope this wins game of the year tbh

I'd say once you get about halfway through that will fade. Not to say the game gets bad, but the novelty eventually goes away. Still a solid game (I gave it an 8/10 after finishing), but it's missing something after that front loaded bang it has.

And that's for uber tier enthusiast, lifer gamers

This is massive with normies

I think ppl who focus on finishing the main story and it's requirements will end up sub lvl 30, and probably 40-ish completion. So unless they truly love the game, they will likely not get 100% completion of field guide.

I finished the story at lvl36, and 73% field guide completion since I spent so much of my time exploring and doing POI / side quests.

Sub-100%ers are just pro-troon lefties.

if you are going for 100% / plat trophy one thing is you have to access the map room with a character from each house (raven, hufflepuff, etc) which means starting a new game. It takes about 2.5 hours from start to finish, just mainlining the main quests and ignoring everything else. You can save ~40 mins by exiting the game at sorting hat, uploading your cloud save (Autosave), turning off cloud sync, then finishing a house, redownloading cloud sync, and selecting a new house.

The neat thing is the map room quest is DIFFERENT for each house, you do fairly different things each time and visit different areas so that was really cool. Can easily do it after you finish everything else too, but I'm trying to get it all done now so I can just spend the last hours in my game just getting to 100%. I'm "only" 20 hours into the main quest so still a long, long way to go.

I don't think its really needed since the game map is really awesome but someone made a web map of all the areas with everything you can collect

You can also Y (on xbox) through the intro fairly quick. Took less than 10 minutes to get to sorting hat as you can skip almost everything except the walk where you learn how to climb and shoot.
