Hogwarts Legacy players have decided that one NPC 🍷is the most hated character in the series, and with Voldemort and Professor Umbridge 🌌right there, it feels a little unfair. 

Thanks to her invention of Floo powder, Ignatia Wildsmith can be found alongside Floo Flames (fast travel points) all around Hogwarts and surrounding areas. Despite saving players valuable seconds 🦩and steps, Wildsmith appears to be one of the most disliked characters i𒀰n the Harry Potter series, let alone Hogwarts Legacy.

As the Reddit post below demonstrates, the hatred surrounding Ignatia Wildsmith's bust is comparable to series villains Lord Voldemort🦩 and Profes꧒sor Umbridge - whose actions are most definitely a lot worse than Wildsmith's.

It seems that the main issue with this witch is that she's a bit of a chatterbox, which can be especially annoying when you've got to use several fast travel points in a row, for example when you're trying to complete the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hogwarts Legacy Merlin Trials. As o☂ne player put it in the comments of the Reddit post: "If there ever was a chance to meet Merlin... it's on sight."

Since I haven't played H🦄ogwarts Legacy, I couldn't understand why this character was so hated, especially since she's only ever saying nice(ish) things, like: "How ni🌌ce to see you, my young friend!" or "off on another adventure, are we?" Even the slightly smug: "You can't imagine how inconvenient travel was before I invented Floo powder!" isn't that irritating really. 

I have had to listen to Philoctet𝓀es from Hercules shout: "Get up on the Hydra's back!" in Kingdom Heartsꦗ 2 a ridiculous amount of times though, so I reckon Wildsmith would have the same sort of rage-inducing effect after a few hours of hearing her repetitive voice lines. 

The release of Hogwarts Legacy has been the subject of criticism and debate due to J.K. Rowling's public stance on gender identity, which continues to challenge the inclusivity at the heart of the Harry Potter community. Here is our explainer on the Hogwarts Legacy controversy.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie tiꦯtles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
