Enter the Magical World || HOGWARTS LEGACY || Gameplay Walkthrough

Hogwarts Legacy is an action role-playing game played from a third-person perspective. Players create their character by customizing features such as appearance, voice, and complexion. They choose whether to be housed in a Witch or Wizard dormitory and select one of the four Hogwarts Houses, guided by the Sorting Hat. Each Hogwarts House (Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin) features a unique common room accessible only to its members and exclusive quests. Attending and completing classes is essential to progression, as it unlocks gameplay mechanics, such as broom flight. As the game advances, the player character learns to cast spells, brew potions, and master combat abilities, eventually developing a personalised combat style. Experience points earned through combat, quests, and exploration allow players to level up and enhance their spells, talents, and abilities. Players can engage with various non-player characters (NPCs), and some of them become companions. These companions provide dedicated quest lines focused on relationships and can join players on select missions.


In the Room of Requirement, players can set up and customise elements such as potion stations.
Players can explore related areas such as Hogsmeade, the Forbidden Forest, and the Room of Requirement. Hogsmeade offers a variety of shops and establishments, including the sweet shop Honeydukes and the Hog's Head tavern. The Forbidden Forest features familiar magical creatures such as centaurs and spiders. The Room of Requirement features environmental customisation elements; players can modify the room with various objects as they progress. It can be fully personalised, and its architecture can be changed. The room serves as a place to store and maintain utility items such as brewing stations and planting pots, which can also be customised. The room further features "Vivariums", which are areas for magical beasts. Players can tame, care for, and ride various creatures, including hippogriffs and thestrals. Once caught, these creatures can be kept in vivariums. Other magical creatures available for interaction include unicorns, kneazles, and puffskeins. Plants grown or acquired can be used in combat, such as mandrakes, which can stun enemies.


During exploration, players can use a flying broom to travel around the map.
Players can explore the open world map at their own pace. Different areas offer a range of activities and players face various enemies, such as goblins, poachers, and trolls. Certain aspects are locked behind progression milestones in the main plot. During exploration, players can acquire gear by locating treasure chests. The Revelio spell supports exploration by acting as a scanning tool to discover secrets. Players may use Floo Powder to fast travel around the map or can fly with a broom.
