The game has seen its fair share of creative mods. Everything from Thomas the Tank Engine interpreted as the “Hog-Thomas Express” to using Shrek as a flying broom, modders can introduce a wide variety of projects for players to check out. SinceHogwarts Legacyuses Unreal Engine 4, the creative capabilities are familiar among the modding community.

With this in mind, there’s a particular mod that allows players to start dancing in the game.
With the Emote with any NPC mod forHogwarts Legacyactive, Reddit user PrimPygmyPuff shared a 13-second video of them having a little dance showdown with a troll. Alongside them is Sebastian Sallow from the Slytherin House, who is also dancing off against the troll in broad daylight. “Uptown Funk” accompanies the dance battle as the characters hop to the beat of their own drum. While the dance battle proceeds,Ominis Gaunt from the same Slytherin Houseis left alone to cast spells onto the troll, who remains unaffected by his attacks. The clip ends with the main character performing a squat dance.
The Emote with any NPC mod comes from user nathdev, whose downloads for the dancing mod have accumulated to 5,466 at the time of writing. It allows the player to emote either solo or with an NPC in close range; such emotes include hugging, flirting, greeting, and mocking. Users who download the mod can choose from a few different dances to use inHogwarts Legacy, including Gala, Slow, Move, and Electric. Judging from the movements in PrimPygmyPuff’s video, the characters are engaging in the Move Dance feature that appears to implement more folk-like dance moves.
The video was met with several humorous comments that provided commentary on the video, where the users typed and spoke as if they were the characters in the clip. Some users wrote in the tone ofSebastian Sallow dancingwhile referencing the troll. One user questioned the mod’s location, prompting PrimPygmyPuff to provide a link for it. Others were pointing out Ominis’s sole attempt to take down the troll.

It allows for cheeky moments such as the one in the video to co-exist in a game where the main character is always getting themselves in trouble when they’re not in class at Hogwarts Castle.
