Bad news, Potterheads: The long-rumored expansion for Hogwarts Legacy has been hit with a stupefy spell—permanently. Yep, Warner Bros. Discovery has waved its corporate wand and poof—the extra content has vanished faster than your self-control in front of a Butterbeer stand.

According to Bloomberg, the expansion was never officially announced, but it was secretly brewing in the cauldron, bubbling away like a fresh batch of Polyjuice Potion. The plan? A big, fancy content drop in 2025, complete with a “Definitive Edition” that would have had everything but a personal letter from Professor McGonagall herself.

So, what went wrong? Apparently, Warner Bros. Discovery has been “restructuring” its gaming division—because nothing screams financial wizardry like canceling one of the best-selling video game franchises of all time. Allegedly, this decision came from people “familiar with the matter,” which is corporate speak for “a couple of people who definitely own at least one wand replica.”

The expansion was supposed to add new storylines, fresh adventures, and maybe—just maybe—the chance to finally play Quidditch without downloading a separate game. But alas, it’s not happening. Instead, it joins the Chamber of Secrets of canceled gaming content, alongside all those scrapped Elder Scrolls expansions we’re still crying over.

For now, it looks like Hogwarts Legacy fans will have to make do with the existing game. Or, you know, mod it until Hagrid can ride a dragon in neon sunglasses. Either way, the magic lives on—just not in expansion form.
