While the developers showed the player character using some dangerous forbidden spells on their enemies in the Dark Arts arena, they talked about how these spells would mostly be available only in this area and nowhere else.
Some of the players enjoyed this showcase of combat, but others did not like the fact that the player character is practically a teenager and they can use Dark Arts and even kill other characters in Battle Arena. The player is even shown using curse spell-like Avada Kedavra on their enemies.
We must also make it clear to the gamers reading this that the Dark Arts arena is not available to the gamers buying the standard edition of Hogwarts Legacy. It only accompanies the Deluxe Edition of the game. This just means that these spells are not necessarily a part of the game.
Harry Potter fans are worried about the use of Dark Art in the game
There are fans who are still interested in the game, but there are also people who are worried about this game getting exclusive content, and there are some who are not very happy about the Dark Arts. And all of them had something to say on Twitter.
Hogwarts Legacy developers showed off the Dark Arts Battle Arena, an area included in the Deluxe version of the game that gives you free rein to use Avada Kedavra, Crucio, and other curses. You can also use these spells in the main game. https://t.co/730Z7ujwQG pic.twitter.com/m7MDDFjzdB

So there's a whole arena to practice dark magic… locked behind a more expensive edition of the game? 🤨

What the hell? This is so greedy! Will it always be locked behind a pay wall? Or is it just like an early acces thing in which we can unlock it say 5 hours into the game or sumin? 🤔

You mean you can use the torture and killing spells. Stop trying to make the game look bad. This is hilarious 😂

Go watch the gameplay. It isn't as extreme as this makes it sound. But the general idea is there and implied.
