J.K. Rowling has made numerous public anti-trans comments, and while she was not directly involved in the creation of Hogwarts Legacy, she is still likely to profit from the title.

Joining the many Field Guide Pages and Eye Chests dotted over Hogwarts Legacy, Daedalian Keys are another set of collectibles players will find to work toward acquiring a special House prize.

Shaped as golden keys with buzzing wings, Daedalian Keys get introduced through a side quest with Nellie Oggspire in the Transfiguration Courtyard. Once found, they will guide players to a House Cabinet, where they must slap the key into the socket to unlock and collect a House Token.
