Hogwarts Legacy is a massive game filled with many characters, both light and dark witches and wizards. Many have been wondering if the Harry Potter franchise’s darkest wizard, Voldemort (aka Tom Riddle), is among them.
Below, we will outline if the dark lord does appear in the game as well as what connections he may have with this world.
Disclaimer: While the creator of the Harry Potter franchise was not directly involved in the creation of Hogwarts Legacy, their comments on social media around transgender people are hurtful and dangerous given the size of their platform.

Does Voldemort appear in Hogwarts Legacy?

In short, no – Voldemort is not in Hogwarts Legacy. Since Hogwarts Legacy is a prequel taking place in the 1890s and Tom Riddle wasn’t born until 1926. the Dark Lord wouldn’t have been part of the Wizarding World at this point for a good few decades.
However, that doesn’t mean his bloodline isn’t. Whilst not including Tom Riddle himself, Hogwarts Legacy does include Ominis Gaunt – one of Voldemort’s ancestors through the family side of his mother, Merope Riddle (nee Gaunt).
Like many dark wizards, the Gaunts are an elitist wizarding family of pure blood, descended from Slytherin founder Salazar Slytherin. However, Ominis doesn’t share the dark magic-loving, muggle-torturing ways of the rest of his family.
In fact, during Hogwarts Legacy, he’ll urge the protagonist and your Slytherin friend – Sebastian Sallow – to avoid partaking in dark magic altogether. So, while we don’t meet Voldemort himself, we get to see one of his most peculiar ancestors instead.
