The Hogwarts Legacy game has received a new map expansion, courtesy of fan developers, which includes two iconic locations from the Harry Potter universe: Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley.

While the additions do not serve a practical function in the gameplay, they are intended for dedicated fans to explore and enjoy.
## Features of the Mod The mod is full of Easter eggs and secrets for players to discover, including passages and recognizable objects like Hagrid's pink umbrella wand.

Players can even interact with most of the animals placed in the area, which is a feature that many fans have been requesting.
