    Hogwarts Legacy - Three Years Later | Is it still good in 2026?
    Feb 1 2026
    Step back into the Wizarding World with me as I revisit Hogwarts Legacy three years after its release, a moment that feels perfect for a fresh look at what the game got right, where it stumbled, and how it has aged over time. In this episode, I explore the castle design and worldbuilding choices that shaped our experience of the school, break down the combat system’s strengths and limitations, and reflect on the features and ideas that could have taken the game even further.

  • How Hogwarts was RUINED in Deathly Hallows

    How Hogwarts was RUINED in Deathly Hallows
    Jan 28 2026

    So the Harry Potter reboot has been officially announced. I was wondering which version of the castle they might use for it, would they use a version of the castle from the original films or would they go in a new direction? Well it looks like we’ve got our answer. And it’s the movie version. Unless Warner Brothers were just hastily re-using assets in a last-minute announcement, but that definitely wouldn’t be the case right, they’ve never done that before…


    What’s interesting though is they are specifically using the version of the castle from Deathly Hallows, complete with its viaduct.


    In this podcastm me and a friend will dive into the history of the Deathly Hallows version of the castle, why it’s shunned by fans and why it’s now returning for the Harry Potter series.

    Hogwarts Expert REVIEWS Harry Potter Theme Park
    Jan 21 2026
    Today, I’m finally talking about the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park at Universal Studios Florida. This park is a childhood dream come true for Harry Potter fans, with two lands spanning across Universal Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Florida. You can experience the thrill of riding the Hogwarts Express, explore the streets of Diagon Alley, and take a stroll through Hogsmeade village. The park is filled with exciting rides, shows, and attractions that will transport you to the world of Harry Potter. And the most exciting part for me is, I’ve finally visited it.
