This includes picking the first wand, the key tool to any wizard’s repertoire. They are also the main method of interacting with the world in Hogwarts Legacy. As an RPG, the latest game from Avalanche Software allows players to customize their wand as they see fit. Here is a complete rundown for newcomers.

Lore-wise, this reflects the personality of the user. Generally, average sized wands are for robust magic users. In the game, the shortest length is 9.5 inches, and the maximum is 14.5 inches.

This is the second characteristic determined by personality, but users can tweak it too. This ranges from Quite Bendy to Unyielding, and as the names suggest, they also similarly reflect how the user is.

Handles

This final pick will be available later as players progress through the narrative, allowing users to select from various handles to hold the wand.

A second option can do the job if players do not want the hassle of customizing their wand.
