Warner Bros. showed off a new trailer for Hogwarts Legacy, the new title in the Harry Potter series coming on February 10.

In the trailer, a wizard talks about teaching “crucio,” a deadly spell in the Hogwarts lore. Wizarding students battle and learn about the “dark arts,” spells used by the bad guys. Such “unforgivable curse” spells are forbidden for Hogwarts students to cast. The wizard teaches a student and battles skeletons.
