What MacGames does for it.

Hogwarts Legacy is a Windows game. MacGames brings the parts it needs to run on a Mac, and sets them up for you.

DirectX through Metal
Apple's D3DMetal turns the game's DirectX calls into Metal.
A shader cache of its own
The game's Metal shaders stay in a cache folder of their own between sessions.
No driver warning
The game's warning about an unsupported AMD driver is turned off, so it does not show on every start.
One Steam for your games
The game installs into the shared Steam library, so you sign in to Steam once for all your games.
