Hogwarts Legacy Features A Harry Potter Actor Only Eagle-Eyed Fans Noticed
By NATHAN SIMMONS
“Hogwarts Legacy” boasts a sturdy voice cast, including English actor and comedian Simon Pegg as Phineas Nigellus Black. Players have had a bit of time to get to know the many quirky characters who call Hogwarts home in the late 1800s, but there's one voice actor in particular who may sound surprisingly familiar to longtime fans of the “Harry Potter” franchise.
Luke Youngblood, the actor who played Lee Jordan in the first two “Harry Potter” films, can be heard throughout the game. This filmic connection was pointed out by the official “Hogwarts Legacy” account on Twitter, where a celebratory tweet shined a spotlight on both Youngblood's primary role in the game, Everett Clopton, and his former part in the “Harry Potter” franchise.
In “Hogwarts Legacy,” Youngblood also plays Hufflepuff student Arthur Plummly, Elek the centaur, and the musically-inclined Ernie Lark. While wandering around the Hogwarts grounds, players should keep an ear out for Ernie's magical conducting or the pattering of Elek's hooves, since the sounds of a familiar member of the “Harry Potter”' franchise won't be too far behind.
