Tom Felton's Emotional Reaction to Playing Hogwarts Legacy
Tom Felton, known for his role as Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter film franchise, was moved to tears while playing as a Slytherin student in the upcoming Hogwarts Legacy action-RPG The game, which draws heavily from the beloved Harry Potter universe, has already garnered a great deal of anticipation from fans of the series
Tom Felton, the actor who played Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter film series, became emotional while playing Hogwarts Legacy during a recent promotional event for the upcoming open world action-RPG. The game owes much of its style and aesthetic to the success of the Harry Potter franchise, which has been a massive hit and one of the highest-grossing film series of all time. Despite the underwhelming performance of the last two Fantastic Beasts movies, Hogwarts Legacy has already broken sales records. It's no wonder that fans of both the movies and the video game are eagerly anticipating this exciting crossover.
In a recent video showcasing the gameplay of Hogwarts Legacy, Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter film franchise, played through Sebastian Sallow's quest while discussing his experiences with the beloved series. As Felton explored the Slytherin common room, he was asked if the game felt like "home." In an emotional response, Felton confirmed that it did, stating, "Yeah, it feels like home. And yet brand-new and exciting and oddly reminiscent of my childhood."
This video featuring Felton playing Hogwarts Legacy was a part of the game's renewed marketing push, which coincided with its launch on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles. While there were concerns that the game may not run as smoothly on older hardware, it has been widely accepted that the game performs just as well on these consoles as it does on the newer PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
The delayed release dates for the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Hogwarts Legacy may have contributed to the game's success on those consoles. With the latest delay for the Nintendo Switch port, scheduled for release on July 25 but now pushed back to November 14, Switch gamers are hoping for a similar outcome.
Although the Nintendo Switch port of Hogwarts Legacy has not been showcased yet, fans eagerly anticipate its release. Meanwhile, PC, PlayStation, and Xbox players can already enjoy the game in its entirety, including the Sebastian Sallow quest demonstrated in the video featuring Tom Felton.
Hogwarts Legacy is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X with a Nintendo Switch version coming November 14.
