The answer was negative.
There are romantic lines in the Harry Potter books, for example between Ron and Hermione. But in Hogwarts Legacy, the upcoming game in the universe of Joan Rowling, such an opportunity is not provided.
Moira Squier and Kelly Murphy from the studio Avalanche Software said this in an interview with the German site GamePro. The creators said that a romantic relationship would be “difficult to realize.” Hogwarts Legacy has gender selection, but the protagonist or heroine will only be 15 years old anyway. Therefore, all love lines would have to be created within a teenage framework.
“There are things we just didn’t want to touch thematically,” Murphy said. However, users will still build and strengthen relationships with companions. Each department of Hogwarts has characters you can interact with. They issue personal orders and reward for completing these quests. The missions of associates will become one of the distinctive features of the faculties.
