Tribute to Robbie Coltrane
A very sad week for potterheads has just ended: this Friday, October 14, 2022, we learned of the death, at the age of 72, of Robbie Coltrane, the actor renowned for his role asHagrid in the Harry Potter film saga. All the actors, screenwriters and people who have worked directly or indirectly with him have explained how lucky they were to have been able to meet him.
Hogwarts Legacy: Forbidden Forest and Halloween
This week we didn’t get much information about Hogwarts Legacy Hogwarts Legacy. Only an ambient tweet was published showing us then the Forbidden Forest for a few seconds. This is surely a teaser for a long time ASMR video of about twenty minutes devoted to autumn. After all, we already had the spring one and the summer one!
We are currently in October, a very special month in the world of Harry Potter. Here are some key dates to guide you a little:
- October 4 – Birth of Minerva McGonagall
- October 17 – Birth of Filius Flitwick
- October 30, 1949 – Birth of Molly Weasley
- October 31, 1492 – Death of Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington (alias Nearly Headless Nick)
- October 31, 1981 – Death of James and Lilly Potter, killed by Voldemort while protecting Harry Potter
October is also the month when Hogwarts students take their first Hogsmeade outing!
So expect to have a special Fall video next week! Besides, we don’t know if seasonal events like Halloween will be visible in the game (sets of the great room for example) even if it seems logical.
