Happy, Harry Potter Day! Wizards and muggles celebrate Harry Potter’s birthday every year on July 31.

And for those of you who haven’t had a chance to play one of the biggest video games of the year, it’s time to explore Hogwarts Legacy. The bestselling game lets players star in their own wizarding world adventure as a fifth-year student at Hogwarts.

Hogwarts Legacy was released in February and sold 12 million copies in two weeks. Marking the biggest global launch ever for Warner Bros. Games, the video game went on to sell 15 million copies in two months, and has raked in $1 billion thus far.

“We are so thrilled and proud to see the player response to Hogwarts Legacy from gamers, fans who are new to gaming and reviewers around the world,” said David Haddad, president of Warner Bros. Games, said in a news release in February. “Our development team at Avalanche delivered an amazing, high-quality Wizarding World experience that truly fulfills the fan fantasy of life at Hogwarts and our publishing teams have executed a globally impactful launch campaign.”

The game, which was developed by Avalanche Software and published by Warner Bros. Games under the Portkey Games label, is available on PlayStation, Xbox and PCs. Hogwarts Legacy was scheduled to drop on Nintendo Switch on July 25, but will now be released on Nov. 14.

While an apparent job listing posted by Avalanche Software has fans wondering if Hogwarts Legacy 2 could be on the way, Hogwarts Legacy standard and deluxe editions are on sale at select retailers. The standard edition retails for $69.99 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and $59.99 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

The deluxe edition is $69.99–$79.99 depending on the PlayStation or Xbox console, and $59.99 on Nintendo Switch. Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe Edition includes the Dark Arts Pack, which unlocks access to an exclusive wardrobe, a flying Thestral Mount that players can ride, and access to the Dark Arts Battle Arena, where players can “test their mastery of the Dark Arts against waves of challenging enemies,” according to the game description.
