The Deluxe Edition of Hogwarts Legacy comes with a number of extra options, most of which are cosmetic. But it also gives access to an additional activity which is the arena of dark arts.
The Dark Arts Arena in the Forbidden Forest allows players to participate in a five-round arena challenge against a variety of dark wizards and wizards and the goblin forces of Ranrok. Although included in the Deluxe Edition, it can also be purchased individually as part of the "Dark Arts Pack" DLC.

Dark Arts Arena location in Hogwarts Legacy
It is possible to get to the Dark Arts Arena in the Forbidden Forest by following the map. There is a winged statue that conceals the entrance, then you will have to take an additional step to access it.
With the Revelio spell, you will find a multitude of breakable vases nearby which will be highlighted. Once you break all the vases, the statue will spread its wings, letting you interact with it to enter the arena of dark arts.
How the Dark Arts Arena works
Upon entering the arena, you are immediately thrown into battle against a wave of dark wizards and your spell palettes are filled with Confringo and Unforgivable Spells. Even though these spells haven't been properly unlocked yet, you can freely use the Unforgivable Spells, which can break any type of shield and cause chaos, provided you use them correctly. Indeed, by abusing these spells, we can clean the arena in a fantastic way.
You still have the ability to edit your spell palette to equip your favorite spells if you wish, but Unforgivable spells cannot be reassigned if removed, unless they have been properly unlocked.
The arena also has an abundance of throwables to take advantage of ancient magic, and you have full access to your inventory of potions and plants to take advantage of other strategies. Mandrakes and brews can be used a lot to deal with the huge amount of enemies in some of the later waves.
You can defeat five waves consisting of Dark Wizards, Goblins, and Trolls to make it through the Dark Arts Arena and get your reward, the Duelist Mask. The arena can be repeated as often as you want for fun, allowing you to get the most out of it, knowing that you can complete fights and duel challenges there.
