They are speculating whether he will be joining the game or if it was just a fan service video. Moreover, no official release makes this even suspicious.

Roadblocks in Felton’s arrival in the Hogwarts game

These doubts have arisen due to many factors. The foremost reason is no plans for a DLC from the developers at Avalanche Software. Although Warner Bros. wants to develop it into a franchise, currently this game will not get a DLC, as confirmed by Avalanche’s Alan Tew. So it is tough to figure out how Felton will join without a DLC.

Also, Hogwarts Legacy’s timeline can be a challenge for introducing Felton’s character Draco Malfoy. The timeline of the game is set in the 1890s, around a century before when Malfoy entered Hogwarts.
