Description
Hogwarts Legacy is one of the biggest game releases this year and has already struck a chord with users with millions of units sold. The game offers a fantastic exploration of the Harry Potter franchise and its magical elements including spells, magic wands, magical places, dark wizards, and more. One of the most talked about and sought after locations in the game is the Azkaban prison and players are wondering how to get there. However, the prison is only accessible for in-game exploration to players who have been sorted into Hufflepuff House in Hogwarts Legacy. The reason for this is that the prison can only be reached through a specific house quest that is available in Hufflepuff. The search involves players going to the prison to search for an individual believed to be wrongfully imprisoned. Along the way, they encounter hostile Dementors and unpredictable inmates.
Here is a brief history of Azkaban prison
In the Harry Potter franchise, the Azkaban prison is located on a remote and mysterious island in the North Sea and is primarily home to British witches and wizards convicted of serious crimes. It has been used for imprisonment since the 1700s, its construction dating back to the 15th century.
For most of its history, Azkaban was protected by dangerous magical creatures called Dementors, who have been known to feed on human happiness. The presence of these Dementors caused significant psychological damage to already suffering prisoners, as they were even capable of stealing an individual's soul. Although the use of Dementors in Azkaban has been discontinued, the prison and the island have a sinister legacy that existed even before the use of Dementors.
Originally, the island was the home of a dark wizard named Ekrizdis who lived there alone and practiced dire magic. He lured non-magical sailors and travelers to the island using his dark powers and subjected them to torture and death. After the wizard's disappearance, the island remained uninhabited until it was discovered by the wizarding authorities, who turned it into Azkaban's prison.
