For any Potter fan, this early moment is one that will have you ‘squee’ing’ with delight. If you are wondering why, that is because thestrals are magnificent beasts who have a bad reputation due to them only being visible to those who have witnessed death. In a neat easter egg and bit of nerd lore the player is able to see the thestrals who are flying the carriage after they witness the dragon eat their riding partner. Things quickly go whatever the wizard version of ‘tits up’ is when a dragon attacks the flying carriage the player is riding in.

Things start off with a bang, as shortly after creating their characters players are introduced to Professor Fig who is their mentor and a professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

I make it to the front and sit on the stool and the old hat is placed upon my head, my stomach filled with butterflies as I hope I get the house I relate most to. I hear my footsteps on the old cobblestone floor, I feel the eyes of everyone on me as I make my way down the aisles overwhelmed with smells from all the foods filling each table. The door creaks open quietly, the entire room silent as a grave.
