Strange Hogwarts Legacy Glitch Causes Player to Swim Through Air

In an amusing twist, a Hogwarts Legacy player recently stumbled upon an intriguing bug that allows them to float through the skies outside the castle in a swimming motion. While glitches are not unfamiliar to Hogwarts Legacy enthusiasts, this one seems whimsically appropriate for the magical world of Harry Potter.

As we look forward to the game’s upcoming two-year anniversary on February 10, 2025, it’s worth noting the impact Hogwarts Legacy has made. Since its launch, it has garnered positive feedback from both fans and critics, quickly selling over 12 million copies just two weeks post-release. However, despite its achievements, players have encountered a variety of glitches, with this airborne swimming bug being the latest addition.

A Reddit user under the name amarquis_1 showcased a video where their character, outside Hogwarts Castle, could be seen leisurely “swimming” in mid-air just above the ground. Past instances of such glitches usually occurred when a player transitioned from water to land, but rarely did they cause the character to levitate so high. The player didn’t reveal the actions leading up to this glitch, but the imagery of the character gliding above land and water is quite fascinating.

Discussing the incident, the community has offered light-hearted theories as to how this magic might fit into the game’s lore. Suggestions have ranged from a quirky twist involving the levitation charm ‘leviosa’ to experiencing an overboost of billywig stings, adding a dash of humor to the bug’s discovery. Additionally, a seasoned player suggested that a simple reload back to the menu might resolve the glitch by repositioning the character safely back on the ground.

This glitch emerges at an exciting time, with news that Hogwarts Legacy is not only getting a downloadable content package but also a sequel. Although specifics about these projects remain under wraps, there’s buzzing anticipation that the DLC could hit the shelves before year’s end.

Hogwarts Legacy offers an immersive experience set in the magical world during the 1800s, where players can explore iconic locations like Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, and the Forbidden Forest. The game presents an enticing blend of magic-infused gameplay, allowing players to embrace their inner witch or wizard by learning spells, brewing potions, and concocting their own magical adventures.

With its initial release on February 10, 2023, the game has proven to be a major player in the RPG sphere. From engaging storytelling to an expansive open world, Hogwarts Legacy provides a thrilling exploration of the wizarding world, leaving gamers excited about what magic the future holds for this beloved franchise.
