The Shrieking Shack was secluded from everything else and was the perfect stop for Remus to transfer into his monstrous half. Stupidly, Sirius Black would eventually tell Severus Snape how to avoid the Whomping Willow, and Snape, being curious, proceeds to do this on the night of a full moon. On that night, Snape almost faced death by a transformed Remus, but was saved by James Potter. This was part of what cemented Sirius and Snape as mortal enemies for the rest of their living d

The announcement trailer for Hogwarts Legacy puts a strong emphasis on history, and the impact one's actions have on the future. With that in mind, it feels almost fitting that the new title already has such a significant legacy to grapple with. J.K. Rowling's shadow looms large over the game, both for her fantasy world that has entertained millions of people around the world, and for her hateful comments that enraged and hurt almost as many.

Now, the tree in the wallpaper could just be another tree, but the placement and the cosmetics of it are just too coincidentally similar to the Whomping Willow. There is also the question of whether or not Hogwarts Legacy is actually canon within the Wizarding World. If not, the developers have a massive opportunity to truly tell their own version of Hogwarts and the Wizarding World. However, being canon would mean there are pre-existing stories the game needs to be aware of, and remain within the constraints of those stor

The question is, how does featuring the Whomping Willow in the Hogwarts Legacy wallpaper break canon? Well, in 1971, the Whomping Willow was located at the Hogwarts grounds for the first time. The tree hid a secret passage from Hogwarts to the Shrieking Shack, a house just outside of Hogsmeade, where Remus Lupin would go to transform into a werewolf once every month.

Although Dumbledore may merely appear as a cameo character, he could figure heavily into the plot. He could be close friends to the player's character, or even serve as a mentor or mentee, depending on his age at the time of Hogwarts Legacy .
