The wizarding world of Harry Potter is full of interesting and unique events that would serve as the perfect set-up for Hogwarts Legacy 2. From the many different wizarding schools, to important events such as the founding of Hogwarts itself, there are plenty of time periods that a Hogwarts Legacy sequel could draw from. With so much lore to delve into, it's hard to predict exactly which direction it'll go in.
Fortunately, there are some key events which are likely to be the foundation for a Hogwarts Legacy sequel, or at least are obvious contenders. Among the many things Hogwarts Legacy 2 needs to add, one major event stands out as a perfect starting point. It brings together the three main European schools, and would serve as the perfect backdrop for a mystery or even the rise of a great evil.

Hogwarts Legacy 2 Could Focus On The Triwizard Tournament
It Would Be A Prequel To Hogwarts Legacy
Hogwarts Legacy 2 could focus on the Triwizard Tournament, a famous, or arguably infamous, competition between the three biggest wizarding schools in Europe: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Durmstrang Institute, and Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. These tournaments saw the three schools submit a student each to be its champion, who would then compete in three trials, with the winner taking home the iconic Triwizard Cup. This event was depicted in the fourth Harry Potter book and film, The Goblet of Fire.
By the time the first Hogwarts Legacy takes place, the Triwizard Tournaments have been stopped indefinitely. The last one, before The Goblet of Fire, took place in 1792, roughly 100 years before the events of Hogwarts Legacy. It resulted in the injury of three judges, which was the final nail in the coffin to convince the three schools it was too dangerous to continue.
It is mentioned that there were several attempts at bringing back the Triwizard Tournaments after 1792. However, these were considered failures, making the 1792 Triwizard Tournament likely the last one before 1994.
However, Hogwarts Legacy 2 could be a prequel to the first game, one that covers a Triwizard Tournament prior to, or even covering, the final one in 1792. The main character could be chosen as the champion of Hogwarts, who must then complete all three tasks while solving some greater threat to the school. The Triwizard Tournament would certainly serve as an excellent backdrop to a much larger story.

Players can find plenty of secrets through careful exploration, but when it comes to the rarest events in Hogwarts Legacy, it all comes down to luck.
The Player Could Choose Which School They Represent In The Triwizard Tournament
Hogwarts Legacy 2 Could Start At Hogwarts, Durmstrang, Or Beauxbatons
One twist to the original Hogwarts Legacy game could be that players get to choose which school they originally come from. The game could then start differently depending on which one is picked, similar to how Cyberpunk 2077 's Lifepaths handled its opening. This would be just one of many elements Hogwarts Legacy 2 should borrow from other games.
As Durmstrang canonically never won a Triwizard Tournament, the outcome of the tournament could be rendered inconclusive, much like the 1994 one, due to the events of the wider story. That way, players who pick Durmstrang won't lose unfairly.
The player would be able to continue the game as a student from that school, representing it as its champion in the Triwizard Tournament. It wouldn't make a huge difference to the overall plot, as the tournament would still take place in Hogwarts. Much like how Hogwarts Legacy gave the player different outcomes depending on which house they picked, the player could befriend different students depending on which school they chose.
Hogwarts Legacy 2 Could Cover The Very First Triwizard Tournament
It Could Take Place In 1294
The very first Triwizard Tournament, which took place around 1294, would make for a very intriguing setting for Hogwarts Legacy 2. After all, little is known about the original Triwizard Tournament, and it's not hard to believe that quite a bit went wrong during that time. It would also be very interesting to meet the original founders of the Triwizard Tournament to see what kind of people they were.
Additionally, taking part in all the customs associated with the Triwizard Tournament, such as the Yule Ball, would be a fun inclusion. They could work just like the addition of the different seasons in the original Hogwarts Legacy, with the Yule Ball obviously taking place during the Winter. If Hogwarts Legacy 2 were to be set during the original Triwizard Tournament, players could see the very beginning of those traditions.
While there is no way of knowing if a Triwizard Tournament will serve as the backdrop for Hogwarts Legacy 2, it's not hard to see how it would easily fit in. Players attempting to overcome the trials of the tournament while dealing with their own personal issues and perhaps that of a larger threat feels like the ideal way to both weave an interesting narrative and pay homage to The Goblet of Fire. Hopefully, a Hogwarts Legacy sequel will utilize the Triwizard Tournaments in some way.
