Why Hogwarts Legacy 2 Will Be Unforgettable

What year will Hogwarts Legacy 2 be set in? Will we return as a student… or become the enemy? In this deep-dive theory video, we break down the most likely Hogwarts Legacy 2 timeline, explore where the story could realistically go next, and dive into the dark wizarding history that’s been hiding in plain sight.

Set after the events of Hogwarts Legacy (1890), this theory suggests the sequel could take place between 1907 and 1914, right before the magical world descends into chaos. With ancient magic still lingering beneath Hogwarts and a young Gellert Grindelwald on the rise, the next chapter might not be about protecting magic… but surviving it.

We’ll talk about:

Why the 1907–1914 timeline makes sense for Hogwarts Legacy 2

How Dumbledore and Grindelwald could appear without breaking canon

What the Ministry of Magic and other wizarding schools like Durmstrang and Beauxbatons might look like

The possible return of your original character (mentor… or villain?)

And how ancient magic, forbidden spells, and secret societies could shape the sequel’s entire story

Whether you're here for lore theories, Wizarding World history, or just hyped for what Avalanche might do next, this is the Hogwarts Legacy 2 theory you’ve been waiting for.
