While Hogwarts Legacy unit sales numbers are staying under wraps for now, Warner Bros. Games has confirmed other statistics that speak to the game's strong start amid a backdrop of controversy surrounding author JK Rowling.

WB Games president David Haddad told Variety that the "player engagement" in Hogwarts Legacy so far has been "spectacular" following the game's launch earlier in February. WB Games confirmed that Hogwarts Legacy played have collectively logged 267 million hours in the game, grown 393 million plants, and brewed 242 million potions. Players have defeated 1.25 billion Dark Wizards.

"We are very pleased with the initial launch and see a bright future for our other platform launches," Haddad said, referring to the game's release on PS4/Xbox One in April and then Switch in July.
