“The player engagement is spectacular,” Haddad continued, “So far, we have tracked over 152 million hours played, 173 million magical plants grown, 115 million potions brewed and 556 million Dark Wizards defeated.” Looking at such positive reception from the players and the community, the people behind the scenes are very excited to take things to a new level. 

Haddad said Warner Bros. is planning to make more games utilizing its IP library. In their future slate of games, Warner Bros could be seen making more collaborative games with more than one franchise. One of the best examples of it would be Multiversus, which featured some of the most renowned WB franchises as well as many obscure ones. 

In the end, whether there will be a Hogwarts Legacy 2 or not is still up for debate. However, given the positive comments from WB, it is very likely the studio will be utilizing the Harry Potter franchise in one way or another in the gaming industry. The future looks more magical than it ever was.
