Ahead of its release next month, Warner Bros. Games and Avalanche Software have revealed some of the voice talent for Hogwarts Legacy. An open-world action-RPG set in the famous wizarding world, the cast includes Mission: Impossible and Cornetto film trilogy star Simon Pegg as Phineas Nigellus Black, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
In contrast to Albus Dumbledore, the great-great-grandfather of Sirius Black is described as being wildly ill-suited for the job, obsessed with his status in society, and is regarded as the most despised headmaster in Hogwarts history.
“He’s not a good teacher or headmaster in any way, Pegg said in the Hogwarts Legacy video below. “I don’t think he has any interest in children’s education or being in any way a role model. What he wants is the kudos of being the headmaster of the greatest wizarding school in the world. He’s just a bit of an idiot, really.
