J.K. Rowling has made numerous public anti-trans comments, and while she was not directly involved in the creation of Hogwarts Legacy, she is still likely to profit from the title.
Within the opening hours of Hogwarts Legacy, players will come across various kinds of puzzles requiring certain spells or items to initiate them.
These puzzles are optional, but it doesn't hurt to stop and solve them for nifty rewards. For instance, completing multiple Merlin Trials will increase the number of gear slots, and Puzzle Doors hide worthwhile goodies behind them.
In the case of another puzzle type called Moth Mirrors, finishing one will reward you with a Field Guide Page to add to your ever-growing book. If you aim to hunt them down, here's a list of all Moth Mirror locations in Hogwarts Legacy.
