How to view the Hogwarts Legacy minimap

In Hogwarts Legacy, players will have access to a minimap in the top of the screen. That being said, it seems that you're unable to enlarge it to get a better view of the minimap.

Fortunately, there may be some accessibility features that you can use to get a better look at it depending on which platform you play on. If you happen to be playing on either Xbox or Playstation, those consoles have baked-in magnification features that could be of use.

If you're playing on PC, Windows also has similar features that may be useful. However, none of them amount to an in-game ability to expand the map.
