With the Harry Potter franchise being such a big name in any medium, it’s no wonder that the latest game based on the license, Hogwarts Legacy, will feature some top-tier talent. WB Games has revealed the Hogwarts Legacy voice over actors, and it’s headlined by Simon Pegg (Mission Impossible film franchise, Star Trek) who will play Headmaster of Hogwarts Phineas Nigellus Black.
Check out the full list below courtesy of Warner Bros. Games’ press release.
Hogwarts Legacy Voice Over Actors:
Phineas Nigellus Black – Simon Pegg
Phineas Nigellus Black, the cantankerous Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. From a long lineage of Slytherins, Headmaster Black is hated by the students, of whom he also has a great disdain for. Wildly ill-suited to his job, his goal is to do the least amount of work possible and avoid exposure to the student body – preferring to focus on his status in the wizarding world and his surgically manicured beard.

Professor Onai – Kandace Caine
Professor Onai who was once a Divination teacher at Uagadou, the largest wizarding school in the world, and a gifted Seer whose faith in her sight was shaken by the fact that she did not foresee the loss of her husband. Deciding to leave those painful memories behind, she accepts an invitation by Professor Weasley to teach Divination at Hogwarts.
Professor Satyavati Shah – Sohm Kapila
Raised in the Muggle world, Professor Shah is devoted to the sciences and tends to talk down to her students in winding and pretentious aphorisms.
Everett Clopton – Luke Youngblood
Longtime franchise fans will be thrilled to recognize Luke Youngblood, who played Lee Jordan in the film series as he returns to provide the voice of Everett Clopton, a Ravenclaw and a half-blood underachieving rule-breaker and prankster
Mahendra Pehlwaan – Asif Ali
A muggle born and an avid rule-keeper, whose aggressive adherence to rules and guidelines even the professors have grown a bit weary of!
Nearly Headless Nick and the Sorting Hat – Jason Anthony
Nearly Headless Nick, the Gryffindor house ghost, also known as Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, is friendly and entertaining, if a bit pompous. He may be the key to helping the Gryffindor player find answers crucial to solving a significant mystery – if they are willing to do him one small favor involving a bit of rotten roast beef! And finally, the iconic Sorting Hat, a sentient, magical hat, uses knowledge from the student’s past along with input from the player to determine which Hogwarts house will be the right fit.
Hogwarts Legacy is scheduled to launch for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC on February 10, PS4 and Xbox One will launch on April 4 and Nintendo Switch on July 25.
