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.
