It can also bring back the magic of one's childhood over and over again. For me, that includes the bewitching world of [Harry Potter](. In middle school, I reread the first book to the point of memorizing whole pages of text (“Mr. and Mrs. Dursley of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much…”). And I remember cutting out the newspaper clipping announcing the Wizarding World of Harry Potter opening at Universal Orlando so I could hang it on the fridge. I was captivated by the Hogwarts Express and the Great Hall, and the moving portraits, the Quidditch matches and the spells. The milieu developed over seven books will always have a special place in my heart. So much so that I’m ready to don my Hogwarts robe and wand once again -- only this time in video game form thanks to [Hogwarts Legacy](. I’ve never been much of a gamer, but even I’m not strong enough to ignore the power of nostalgia. So like my colleague Sean Keane, who played for 10 hours to write his review of the new game, I will soon revisit the wonder, magic and adventure of Hogwarts. You can find the Hogwarts Legacy review, plus so much more, in today's newsletter. -- Macy Meyer, associate editor INSIDER ESSENTIALS display:%20block;%20max-width:%20116px;%20%20max-height:%2015px; display:%20block;%20max-width:%2069px;%20%20max-height:%2015px; [Hogwarts Legacy Rekindles That Harry Potter Magic]( [Hogwarts Legacy Rekindles That Harry Potter Magic]( [Commentary: The game lets you dive into an unseen era of the wizarding world, and it's a joy to explore.]( [See this]( [Microsoft's AI-Powered Bing Will Challenge Google Search]( [Microsoft's AI-Powered Bing Will Challenge Google Search]( [See this]( [The Humanoid Robot NASA Is Helping Build]( [The Humanoid Robot NASA Is Helping Build]( [See this]( [Smart Ideas for Your Smart Plug: 10 Unexpected Uses]( [Smart Ideas for Your Smart Plug: 10 Unexpected Uses]( [See this]( [Fake Online Recruiters Looking to Scam Job Seekers]( [Fake Online Recruiters Looking to Scam Job Seekers]( [See this]( [OnePlus 11 Review: It Works Hard to Earn Its Flagship Title]( [OnePlus 11 Review: It Works Hard to Earn Its Flagship Title]( [See this]( [Google Unveils Its ChatGPT Rival.
