Sharp-eyed Harry Potter fans may have discovered a hidden Weasley ancestor in Hogwarts Legacy Is Going To Keep You Very Busy
Who The Secret Weasley Ancestor Is In Hogwarts Legacy
It wouldn't be the first time that nods to the broader Harry Potter universe were hidden inside of gameplay footage. One Hogwarts Legacy trailer hid a Diagon Alley secret within it, and fans were just as quick to spot that, as well. More recently, developers hinted at a Grindelwald cameo with the inclusion of Inferi in another trailer. It was likely only a matter of time before more information was subtly revealed, though whether the Hector Weasley cameo was intentional or not is up for debate. Many prospective Hogwarts Legacy players didn't even seem to notice it, and others have debated whether the characters are meant to be the same or not.
It's also possible that Hector's identity was merely changed later on in the game's development process. Due to multiple shake-ups during production, Hogwarts Legacy has been delayed into 2023 and is now set to launch in February of that year. Whether it will be pushed back further remains to be seen, however. In addition, there's quite a lot that could still change ahead of the release date. Although Hogwarts Legacy's main characters are more than likely set in stone, minor NPCs could still be changed, added, or removed.
Either way, it's clear that players will have to wait until the game comes out to uncover all the secrets in Hogwarts Legacy, including the identity of any Weasley ancestors that may be attending the wizarding school. While there have been plenty of trailers released already, it's still uncertain how Hogwarts Legacy is adapting Harry Potter canon in many other regards. Hopefully, February 2023 will bring with it the chance to learn everything there is to know about Hogwarts Legacy and the characters that can be found in the game, including Hector Weasley.
