The Gamescom video introduces Sebastian Pallow, a Hogwarts student who will do anything to keep himself safe... Even to use dark magic and Unforgivable Spells. Alongside him, we explore the darkest corners of the castle, crossing the Forbidden Forest, the Chamber of Secrets, and other mysterious and sinister places. This trailer could be the trailer for a real horror game, and we apprentice wizards might be intimidated by this dangerous and terrifying quest.

The bravest of you (and no, we're not just talking to Gryffindors) will have to deal with Inferi, trolls, giant spiders and other creatures of the dark forces. Every choice you make will have consequences. And if you complete this quest, you will learn one of the Unforgivable Spells: Doloris. Will you use this knowledge wisely?
