It is a childhood dream of every Potterhead to be sorted into one of the four Hogwarts houses. Players will be sorted into their respective cabins, even though the protagonist is a fifth-year student instead of the traditional 1st year rookie.

Furthermore, you can change your house at any time.

This is useful if you’re a Slytherin who wants to switch to Hufflepuff. If you want to feel engrossed in the Harry Potter world, then choosing your house is a great way to do it.

Each house will consist of a unique common room and dormitory, along with various students for you to bond with.


3) You get to go on magical adventures

As we all learned from the trailer itself, Hogwarts' legacy will be an open-world action RPG, which is an exciting opportunity as players get to explore the immersive world created by Avalanche studios.

These adventures take your character to different locations in the world of Harry Potter. You can explore a dark forest, swim through a lake and even visit the Ministry of Magic.

Every nook and cranny must be explored, and every secret must be uncovered.

You’ll earn rewards and experience points for each adventure you complete, and there are consistently new quests for you to try.


4) Impeccable dueling action

Another aspect you’ll notice in Hogwarts Legacy is that there’s a whole lot of dueling action. Dueling is one of the most important parts of the game, and it’s something that you’ll be doing quite often.

If you want to upgrade your characters or earn rewards, then you’ll need to complete daily challenges and win duels against other players. There are different kinds of duels, and each one gives you unique rewards.

You can duel against friends and other characters, and even complete challenges to win prizes. If you’re a dueling expert and love to compete, then Hogwarts Legacy is definitely the game for you.
