Website & Community Info

This website was setup and organised by the below group of people as a place to house all resources for the Harry Potter speedrunning community as well as providing a simple and explanitory landing place for people new to the games to find out more information about the games and the speedrunning community that surrounds them.

Therefore, this site is a contribution of several people's work across multiple decades and where possible the site creators would like to attribute the respective resources, content ect to it's respective owner/originator. The site also serves to be a mark of the history of the community and more specifically the speedruns done within it. With our exhaustive WR History database cataloguing every WR run (that we are aware of) to every happen across the many years that these games have been speedran.

The First Harry Potter Speedrun was completed back on July 31st 2005 and was for the first game on PC (which had released less than 4 years earlier in November of 2001). Since then the 23 "Mainline" Harry Potter games have all been speedran to varying degrees of popularity. There are 23 Harry Potter games that the Harry Potter Speedrunning community, these are all movie adaptations of their respective movie. They include:

Joining the list in February 2023 was Hogwarts Legacy, the newest game in the Harry Potter universe and the only modern game to be speedrunable, with Hogwarts Mystery, Wizards Unite and other post film Harry Potter games being more mobile orientated.
