Sun Sep 15 17:20:13 UTC 2024: ## Hogwarts Legacy 2 Should Break Franchise Tradition and Introduce a New Protagonist

**[City, State] – [Date]** – While fans clamor for a sequel to the wildly successful “Hogwarts Legacy,” many agree that a significant change is needed: a new protagonist. While the first game’s custom character was well-received, many argue they lacked the charisma of iconic characters like Harry Potter or Newt Scamander.

With the first game’s ending leaving things ambiguous, continuing with the same protagonist in a sequel would require choosing a specific ending, potentially upsetting players who favored alternative outcomes. Additionally, the story of the first game’s protagonist seems to be reaching its natural conclusion, leaving little room for further exploration in their Hogwarts years.

Instead, the sequel has the opportunity to break from the trend of repeating protagonists in the Harry Potter franchise. This could involve introducing a student from a different time period, allowing players to explore the history of Hogwarts from a fresh perspective.

Several possibilities include:

* **A student from the founding of Hogwarts:** Players could experience the very beginnings of the magical school.
* **A student from Voldemort’s era:** Experience the events leading up to the rise of the Dark Lord.
* **A student from the era of the Keepers:** Explore the mysteries surrounding these powerful figures.

Alternatively, the sequel could focus on one of the compelling characters from the original game, such as Ominis Gaunt or Natsai Onai. This would allow players to delve deeper into their unique backstories and motivations.

While sticking with the same protagonist and time period would save development costs, it would likely result in a less captivating experience. Breaking away from the first game’s story and introducing a new protagonist would provide a much more engaging and expansive experience for fans.
