Is this officially confirmed? The Switch 1 version is back to its normal price in Europe, but will sure look out for this if it indeed happens.

From the Creator's Voice video presented a few weeks back it sounded like it was a new port, for which they wanted to charge full price for it.

It seems to be pretty widely reported:

This is how it was last month, it's a main reason why I didn't buy it during it's EU sale on Switch 1.

Avalanche Studios has confirmed that Hogwarts Legacy on Nintendo Switch 2 is a new build of the game with "next-generation assets" instead of using the Switch port as a foundation for development. However, this means there isn't a Switch 2 Edition upgrade pathway for players who already own the RPG on Switch, like there is with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Party Jamboree.

Just googling on this I have found this other article: https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/hogwarts-legacy-on-switch-2-appears-to-have-a-10-upgrade-for-owners-of-the-digital-switch-version/

So that could be proof, as it comes from the eShop itself.

A little more googling has also shown that Civ 7 is going to do this as well.

Strange that Sonic does not offer an upgrade path
