Hogwarts Legacy, and the Builds inside the Game:
While most might prefer the Dark Arts build (as did I when I did my first play through), it is more fun and versatile to incorporate herbology and potions so it didn't become monotonous or boring when you enter a duel.
More under the cut-off:
It would keep the body count low so that the Voldemort and Grindelwald are still one of the Darkest Wizards who have a massive body count. Because if you're like me, in my first play through, I abused the crap out of the Cruciatus Curse and the Killing Curse just because I could. But toward the end of the story, it's crazy that you're so well-regarded as a hero but also a mass murderer on the side when you're not in classes.
(I admit that I do love using the Imperius Curse, though)
Halfway through my first play through, I realized that I was more inclined to use herbology and potions in combat rather than the Cursed because it was more fun and gave me more of reason to grow a whole garden in the Room of Requirment (that, and I love the Hufflepuff aesthetic more in the RoR due to all the nature-themed items but I love the Slytherin Common Room more).
The fact that I have two magical menageries in my RoR but also head into the Dark Arena doesn't fit the ear right to me.
I get HL on Switch tomorrow and I intend to go about my second play through in a role play stance, rather than the first timer I was and just wanting to experience everything.
(Though the struggle to always use a hippogriff rather than fly will be a constant, owing to the fact that the broom is faster and smoother but I believe my animal-loving Slytherin would opt for a Hagrid approach).

A picture that says “A student once asked anthropologist Margaret Mead, “What is the earliest sign of civilization? The student expected her to say a clay pot, a grinding stone, or maybe a weapon.
Margaret Mead thought for a moment, then she said, “A healed femur.”
The second picture is a news headline. It is bolded and a much larger font. “27-year-old who couldn’t afford $1,200 insulin copay dies after trying cheaper version.”
The third picture is the same font and size as the Margaret Mead quote. It’s a continuation. It says, “A femur is the longest bone in the body, linking hip to knee. In societies without the benefits of modern medicine, it takes about six weeks of rest for a fractured femur to heal. A healed femur shows that someone cared for the injured person, did their hunting and gathering, stayed with them, and offered physical protection and human companionship until the injury could mend.”
The fourth picture is another headline. It is in a large and bolded type. “Dying man who couldn’t afford to go to hospital after vomiting blood"
The fifth picture is a screenshot of the Margaret Mead story.
Mead explained that where the law of the jungle—the survival of the fittest—rules, no healed femurs are found. The first sign of civilization is compassion, seen in a healed femur.
The next screenshot is of a slightly different font. The letters are pointier and the lines are a little curvier. It says, “Susan Finley returned to her job at a Walmart retail store in Grand Junction Colorado, after having to call in sick because she was recovering from pneumonia.
The day after she returned, the fifty three year old received her ten year associate award — and was simultaneously laid off, according to her family. She had taken off one day beyond what is permitted by Walmart’s attendance policy.
After losing her job in May 2016, Finley also lost her health insurance coverage and struggled to find a new job. Three months later, Finley was found dead in her apartment after avoiding going to see a doctor for flu-like symptoms.
A screenshot of a bold, bigger headline. It says ‘The house always wins’: Insurers’ record profits.
A final screenshot of smaller text with a slightly gray background. It says “We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized.” /end ID.]

Unlike most magical schools, this one is made up of five mystical towers that directly teach themselves without the need for professors. Every year, the towers of the God-Blessed, Druids, Arcanists, and Warlocks welcome new students, but even the name of the Fifth Tower was forgotten.
