Hogwarts Legacy Isn’t Canon To Harry Potter Diehard Fans

In a lengthy Reddit post, a Harry Potter fan expresses how many spells in Hogwarts Legacy are broken or not accurate. One comment is that Stupefy is supposed to be a red jet of magic, however, it is blue in the game except in the cutscenes where it appears red as it should. This is definitely something that many fans have noticed and it is unclear whether the developers did it for a reason or just didn’t notice such a change.

However, another Redditor mentions how in the movies Stupefy was actually white. This brings up the question of, what color is Stupefy actually supposed to be. The discussions on Reddit continue to go down a rabbit hole of questioning and studying what spells are what colors and how often the color are inconsistent throughout the franchise’s published content.
