While the big gameplay reveal for Hogwarts Legacy, the prequel game to Harry Potter, was months ago, the scenes shown are currently keeping the community busy. Or rather: A few frames cause discussions! Because these could reveal yet unknown magic.
Since the Hogwarts Legacy State of Play presentation in March 2022, we finally have an idea of how the Harry Potter prequel-RPG will play out. Because in this rich insight into the adventures around Hogwarts, there are also impressions of the combat system including magic. This has now also confirmed some of the available spells: Accio, Descendo, Incenido, Petrificus Totalis and a few others as well as Unforgivable Curses. Resourceful fans want to have discovered new magic in the gameplay material from March.

Few frames showing Hogwarts Legacy skill interface
Users on the Hogwarts Legacy subreddit are busily discussing an interface “bug” that crept into the state-of-play video. Among other things, this was German Youtuber Agito discovered, but others had also looked at the material so often that they had noticed the small editing mistake. Namely, there is a moment at minute 6:14 in which the skill view can be seen for just three frames.
If you grab a frame and adjust it with some computer magic, you get a much clearer picture:

What spells does the Hogwarts Legacy interface show?
Reddit user Berserker_Durjoy believes that the skill on the left – feather on a gold background – is probably Wingardium Leviosa. The Levitation Spell can make even heavy objects fly through the air. The same user suggests that the lower spell slot represents Accio, a gathering spell that sends objects flying towards the caster. The icon would also fit well.
Hogwarts Legacy will rely on many spells that your opponents also master – such as shield spells that protect them from attacks.

Again, the above spell could represent Lumos because of the glow emanating from the wand. The shock spell (Stupefy) is just as possible, i.e. a flash. Although the icon on the right is not recognizable, the magic cast immediately afterwards in the video suggests that the cooldown for this slot is probably just beginning. Accordingly, fans believe that this slot is simply Expelliarmus (disarmament), which is used in the video.
What do you actually think of this layout in Hogwarts Legacy? Would four spells be enough as a choice? Or do you hope that the developers are similar to Dragon Age; Inquisition, with this controller-optimized layout, offer additional levels via these four buttons, which then lead to further spells?
