The expansive world of Hogwarts Legacy continues to have its magical secrets revealed, with one player getting lucky enough to encounter an Azkaban prisoner NPC that many players were unaware was even in the game. Fans of the Harry Potter franchise are likely familiar with the infamous Azkaban prison and its chaotic inmates, but Hogwarts Legacy players may not have stumbled upon this little-known character in the hit game.
First released in 2023, Hogwarts Legacy is an open-world action RPG that sees players taking on the role of a fifth-year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The game reached major sales milestones and was praised by critics and audiences, earning it a prominent ranking among the best Harry Potter video games. While players have been exploring every nook and cranny of the game, there is an NPC encounter that even die-hard fans may not yet have experienced.
Hogwarts Legacy Player Makes Real-Life Wiggenweld Potions
One creative Hogwarts Legacy player finds a way to brew a real-life Wiggenweld Potion, adding a bit of magic to their daily routine.
A Hogwarts Legacy player on Reddit shared a screenshot of their chance encounter with an Azkaban prisoner, who was found strolling along a footpath outside Hogwarts. This non-interactive NPC can be seen sporting a black and white striped jumpsuit and ankle shackles, reminiscent of Sirius Black from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The OP assumed that the prisoner had escaped from the maximum security facility, while others suggested that perhaps he had been let out for good behavior, hence his casual presence in a heavily-populated area. While players face off against a number of enemies in Hogwarts Legacy, this particular NPC is a very rare encounter. Few fans have ever seen the Azkaban prisoner, though some have stated that the character spawns randomly anywhere on the map, including in some common rooms and other parts of Hogwarts castle.
Hogwarts Legacy Azkaban Prisoner NPC
The only other time players are able to encounter one of the prisoners of Azkaban is during the Hufflepuff student quest line, which is one of the four exclusive house quests in Hogwarts Legacy. This particular quest is limited only to players who were sorted into Hufflepuff house at the start of their playthrough, so anyone wanting to visit Azkaban will need to start a fresh run of the game and make sure to be sorted into the badger house. For fans who have already been sorted into Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin, they do still have a chance to get a taste of the infamous Wizarding World prison with this rare Azkaban prisoner NPC wandering about in Hogwarts Legacy.
Fans continue to discover unique encounters in Hogwarts Legacy, from flying to dragons to Azkaban prisoners. Interested players can stay tuned for more exciting community shares and other fun updates on Hogwarts Legacy.
