With less than a month until its release, the cast for video game Hogwarts Legacy has finally been revealed. What looks set to be one of the biggest games of the year launches on February 10, and its developer Avalanche Software has confirmed Hollywood star Simon Pegg will provide the voice for Hogwarts’ headmaster.
Published by Warner Bros., the open-world, action role-playing-game Hogwarts Legacy lets players roam the grounds of the prestigious school of witchcraft and wizardry as a new fifth-year student in the 1890s. As the game takes place a century before the beloved Harry Potter series, Hogwarts Legacy will feature a host of previously unseen witches and wizards.
Mission Impossible star Pegg is confirmed to be voicing Headmaster Phineas Nigellus Black, who is Sirius Black’s great-great-grandfather. Phineas had a brief appearance in the films as a portrait hanging in Professor Dumbledore’s office, but this is the first time fans will really get to know the “the least popular headmaster in the history of Hogwarts.”
