Warner Bros. Discovery has confirmed a Hogwarts Legacy sequel is in its games pipeline, in its 2Q26 shareholder letter dated 6 August 2026. The letter calls it “the second instalment of Hogwarts Legacy”, and the confirmation is one line in a financial document, not a trailer or showcase.
That line ties the sequel to money. Warner Bros. Discovery wants games to earn more for the company, and it named the next Hogwarts Legacy as part of that plan. Collider’s write-up of the letter notes that the original sold “millions of copies”.
We expect Games to more meaningfully contribute to segment profitability going forward as our pipeline expands, including the second installment of Hogwarts Legacy.
Warner Bros. Discovery, 2Q26 shareholder letter
The same page sets out the strategy behind it. In the second quarter, Warner Bros. Discovery released LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight and Game of Thrones: Dragonfire. The letter calls them the first launches under a plan “centered around four key $1 billion+ franchises with disciplined investment behind fewer, higher conviction titles.” Harry Potter is an obvious fit for that list.
Beyond the name, we know very little. The letter doesn’t give a title, platforms, a release date, or the developer. Some outlets name Avalanche Software as the developer, but Warner Bros. Discovery hasn’t confirmed it. It’s also unclear whether the sequel will be single-player like the original.
A follow-up looked likely for a while, since Hogwarts Legacy arrived in 2023 and sold millions of copies. Big sales don’t guarantee a sequel, though; a former writer’s comments on why EA’s numbers weren’t there for Dead Space 4 show how firmly publishers judge sequels against sales targets.
Collider says the news drew “decidedly mixed reactions” from the community, with much of the talk about how far the sequel needs to improve on the first game.
The letter also lists a Harry Potter Land in Abu Dhabi, planned “in the next few years”. Before that, the HBO Harry Potter series debuts later this year, premiering on Christmas Day. The company expects the show to lift demand for its Harry Potter Experiences and consumer products.
