It is important to know that the story that will be followed in ‘Legacy’ is not an adaptation of any novel or text written by JK Rowling. The British author, despite having given her consent to some decisions of the project, is not directly involved in the creation of the content.
About the “dangerous adventure” to which the official page of the video game refers, there is still no official data. However, soon we will be able to discover the dangers that will lurk in the corridors of the School.
What is confirmed is that students will be able to develop their magical techniques at will (yes, you can also fly on a broomstick, although it won’t be possible to play Quidditch, you can’t have everything in this life…). It will be an open experience that will allow each user to live his particular adventure, develop his character (either to do good… or to do evil), or taking care of magical creatures (something suggests that a hippogriff flight or two shouldn’t be out of the question…).

‘Hogwarts Legacy’: Why would it be a good spin off?
Being a completely unknown adventure, if the video game works well and its use becomes frequent, it could serve as an inspiration for new film projects.

Despite the fact that it is an “open world” experience, and each player can venture as they wish in the developed plots, there will still be common elements that different players can share with each other. So,why not imagine that this could develop future movies? After all, no game is infinite and the potterheads they are always eager to learn more about their favorite magical Universe.
