Peanut-butter and jelly, Batman and Robin, arguably, pineapple and pizza - some things just go great together.

However, Hogwarts Legacy players have recently created a crossover we never thought we'd get.

Players can now see a very unlikely guest grace the walls of the Hogwarts and can even be used as a flying apparatus.

Check out the gameplay here:

If you love Harry Potter and are a fan of a certain Dreamworks figurehead then you're in for a bizarre treat as the iconic green ogre has managed to make his way into the record-breaking new action role-playing game.

Hogwarts Legacy was first released last Friday (10 February) and has since wracked up some very big numbers.

However, the Deluxe Edition of Hogwarts Legacy offered 72 hours of early access to the game meaning some eager Potterheads started playing it last Tuesday (7 February).

According to the game's developers over 1.28 million people tuned in to watch Hogwarts Legacy content on 9 February via the streaming platform Twitch.

The colossal number makes it the highest-watched single-player game ever on the platform.

Not too bad considering all the controversy that has followed in the run-up to the game's release namely surrounding author JK Rowling’s trans-phobic comments in 2020.

As many players got stuck into the world of wizardry and witchcraft, others have got a little more creative with customizing their character's mode of transportation.

Fans of the game have taken to Twitter to share none other than a mod with the iconic character Shrek.

Yes - you heard that right.

Players can now transform their bog-standard broomstick into Shrek and use the ogre to fly about the game.

Bizarre is definitely an understatement.

The images show the Scottish swamp-dweller donning his usual tartan trousers, beige shirt and brown vest get-up with a hauntingly blank stare and seemingly covered in sweat.

Not the most appetising image indeed.

The mod is sending Twitter into a frenzy with many in total disbelief about the latest addition to the record-breaking video game.

One user wrote: "When I said I wanted a mod with Shrek in Hogwarts Legacy, I didn't mean that."

"I hate this," a second added, echoing the reactions of many baffled fans.

Another called the mods 'wild' writing: "The mods for Hogwarts Legacy are already starting to get wild, I've seen Shrek as a broom and now a glock for a wand."

Seizing the opportunity, a final Twitter user added: "Shrek is broom, Shrek is life."
