The key Hogwarts Legacy<\/a> cast has been revealed, with nine voice actors being confirmed for roles in the upcoming game (which is available to pre-order now<\/a>).<\/p>\n Although the story is set ages before the books and films, there are a couple of familiar faces from the pop culture pantheon \u2014 including one actor from the Harry Potter films.<\/p>\n The headline news here is that Simon Pegg has been cast in a major role. And no, it\u2019s not the \u2018drunk Ron Weasley\u2019 character that he jokingly portrayed on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon way back in 2013. (That appearance did create a handy image to use with this article, though.)<\/p>\n Instead, Warner Bros and Avalanche Games have confirmed that the Hot Fuzz star will play Phineas Nigellus Black, a \u201ccantankerous Headmaster\u201d who comes from \u201ca long lineage of Slytherins\u201d.<\/p>\n Phineas is said to be \u201chated by the students\u201d and wildly \u201cill-suited to his job\u201d. He is also an ancestor of Sirius Black, as discussed in the video below.<\/p>\n
