As confirmed from the gameplay trailers, players will be able to explore any location in Hogwarts Legacy by hopping onto their broomsticks or riding their fantastic beasts and flying over the wide landscape of the game.

What are the places you can visit in Hogwarts Legacy?
While the extent of places you can visit freely in Hogwarts Legacy isn’t known yet, the developers have confirmed many of the locations that will be available for players to explore. Here is a list of all the places you will be able to visit in the game so far, as explained in the FAQs section of Hogwarts Legacy:
- Diagon Alley
- Explorable Dungeons & Vaults
- Forbidden Forest
- Hogsmeade
- Room of Requirement (with a customizable world inside)
- Small Wizarding Hamlets (Settlements) in the Countryside
These are just some of the locations that have been revealed in various gameplay trailers; the actual game could very possibly have much more available locales for players to visit. It’s even reported that players will be able to access and explore the entirety of Hogwarts Castle in the game, something which even the Harry Potter movies have failed to show.
One of the things that makes Hogwarts Legacy one of the most anticipated games this year is the fact that players will be able to explore many iconic locations by themselves since the game has a free-roam environment. While the exact number of places to be included in the game has not been released yet, it is safe to say that every location will have something wonderful in store!
