Get Off the Beaten Path: How to Turn off the Mini Map in Hogwarts Legacy

Get rid of the clutter on your screen!

The Wizarding World created by J.K. Rowling is the setting for the fantasy video game Hogwarts Legacy, which was produced by Avalanche Software. The game is set in the1800s, taking place several years before the events of the Harry Potter series that served as its inspiration. The majority of the locations, spells, and even some individuals haven’t changed, though, which will surely excite fans of the source material. Of again, given that many of them are ghosts, this shouldn’t be all that shocking! In the game, players take on the role of Hogwarts students and study a variety of helpful spells, potion concoctions, and other magical skills. The goal of the game is to progress your skills while searching for an ancient magical power that a Goblin Rebellion is attempting to harness and use on innocent witches and wizards.
