Art books are fairly common among large video game releases. For example, the upcoming Diablo 4 ARPG includes an art book in its Collector’s Box. According to the official Hogwarts Legacy website, however, an art book is not part of Hogwarts Legacy’s Collector’s Edition. Instead, it will be released separately as “The Art and Making of Hogwarts Legacy: Exploring the Unwritten Wizarding World,” which you can pick up on February 10, the same day as the game’s release.

A couple of highlights from the art book include an apparent image of the game’s map as well as a screenshot of the game’s menu. As art books can contain anything from concept art to screenshots, it’s unclear whether these images were from an early iteration of the game or from the game’s actual release version.

Alongside the leak, we also got a bunch of new information from the same leaker. Here’s a summary of the information as posted via Reddit:

• Different houses will have different progressions on individual main quests, but eventually wrap up into the same result. Students from a certain house will therefore visit Azkaban briefly.

• The Avada Kedavra curse can only be learn from a side mission, after completing the main storyline at a vert late stage.

• Game Duration? 35 hrs.

• 70 hrs with side quest and 100% of the game.
