The wizards of San Quentin prison were asked to review the new Harry Potter Hogwarts Legacy game on PS5 coming February 10th, 2023, and the results were… explosive.
The review session, hosted by the San Quentin Warden, started out peacefully enough. Inmates were provided with a copy of the game and the latest Playstation 5 console. Once the inmates began playing, however, it wasn’t long before their enthusiasm for the game resulted in a tense atmosphere.
When the inmates were shown the different houses at Hogwarts, they chose sides. Unfortunately, the inmates were so passionate about the houses that they soon descended into a full-blown riot.
The inmates representing Slytherin were the first to draw a line in the sand, declaring that Slytherin was the only true house of power and ambition. Those in Hufflepuff were quick to refute this claim, stating that Hufflepuff was just as powerful and ambitious as any other house.
The other two houses soon followed suit, with Ravenclaws claiming that the house was home to the smartest witches, wizards, and Gryffindors, declaring their house the bravest.
The inmates’ arguments quickly turned violent, and the entire prison was in an uproar. Guards had to be called in to break up the fights, and it took hours to restore order.
The Warden had to call the riot police to break up the chaos. Several inmates were taken to the infirmary with minor injuries, but luckily no one was seriously hurt.
One of the inmates commented on the gameplay, noting that Hogwarts Legacy was “incredibly immersive, with a captivating story, beautiful graphics, and plenty of opportunities to explore the magical world of Harry Potter.” Another commented, “It’s like I’m actually there. It’s like I’m a part of the world, and I’m living the story. I can’t wait to play more.“
In the wake of the riot, the inmates have been reminded of the consequences of their actions and have sworn never to choose sides between Hogwarts houses again. The game, however, has been removed from the prison and will likely never be seen again.
The Warden was left with a broken Playstation 5, a broken copy of the game, and a large repair bill. He was also left with a newfound appreciation for the power of magic and the dangers of asking inmates to review video games.
Overall, the inmates of San Quentin were extremely enthusiastic about the Harry Potter Hogwarts Legacy game. The game is sure to be a hit with Potterheads everywhere.
The inmates rated it a perfect 5 out of 5!
