7	* ContentLeak: This game was an OpenSecret of sorts on the internet after some footage of a focus group test was posted on Reddit in September 2018, two years before its official announcement.
8	* CreatorBacklash: Several of the voice actors for the game confirmed that they recorded their lines before Creator/JKRowling's controversies, stating that they wouldn't have taken part otherwise. Most notably, this applies to [[https://uk.style.yahoo.com/heartstopper-star-sebastian-croft-apologizes-203505842.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kdWNrZHVja2dvLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAFooQ6lYyJ99AOtWaTv28DYt-gh_sQght2CCWdxx-tIremlrmf9jHB1OHNAzxgJvrhYYLNWV_kRMCDpAWGPGyDoG2j114f-oPsGuNpxn2fHozjL_U7noFsJFtSULDQ2FDnQih-AaCKydHtLbJYBYlQ0_Y5t9itFc9UH5pBaBb7Zl Sebastian Croft]], who voices the protagonist.
9	* MemeAcknowledgement: Upon release, the game featured a bug that prevented players from rescuing a magical beast named Biscuit, whose rescue is necessary to complete a sidequest. This led to the meme "Free Biscuit!", something Portkey Games quickly picked up on as upon releasing a patch to fix the aforementioned bug, they informed players it was time to free Biscuit.
10	* TheOtherDarrin: Jason Anthony voices Nearly Headless Nick in place of David Coker, Peeves in place of Jonathan Kydd and the Sorting Hat in place of Leslie Phillips (films), Gary Fairhall (second video game) and Nigel Carrington (Kinect)
11	* QueerCharacterQueerActor: Trans actress Rebecca Root voices trans witch Sirona Ryan.
12	* ReleaseDateChange: The game was originally supposed to come out in Q4 of 2021 but in January of that year, it was announced it had been pushed back to 2022. It’s unclear if it was due to the team just needing more time, COVID-19 related issues, ''Film/FantasticBeastsTheSecretsOfDumbledore'''s COVID-19 related delay from its own Q4 2021 release taking some heat off of it, or some combination of the three. The game would get pushed back again to February 10, 2023 for quality control, with the last-gen ports pushed back to April 4 and eventually May 5.
13	* UrbanLegendOfZelda: Shortly after release, rumors spread that you could enter the Chamber of Secrets and encounter Slytherin's Basilisk. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY5sJXj6ybo A supposed video the the giant serpent slithering through the Slytherin Common Room]] lent credence to this theory; however, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQVgswNyxrs using hacks to look under the sinks in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom]] reveals that the the Chamber does not exist there, and the supposed video of the basilisk was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEYES3s3cJg actually the giant squid (which can appear outside the common room windows) clipping through the walls]].
14	* WriterRevolt: Trans witch Sirona Ryan was [[https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/hogwarts-legacy-will-reportedly-add-transgender-characters-following-j-k-rowling-controversy/ reportedly]] pushed for and added into the game by the developers in response to Creator/JKRowling following her controversial comments.
15	* [[YouLookFamiliar You Sound Familiar]]:
16	** Luke Youngblood, who voices Everett Clopton in this game, previously played Lee Jordan in the ''Film/HarryPotter'' films.
17	** In the French dub, there's quite a few people whose voice was heard in the ''Film/HarryPotter'' films, such as Creator/VeroniqueAugereau (Amelia Bones), Creator/GilbertLevy (a background voice in ''Film/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban''), Creator/AlexandreNguyen (Justin Finch-Fletchley) and Creator/VincentViolette (Professor Quirinus Quirrell in ''Film/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone'').
