A glimpse at wand customization in Hogwarts Legacy

Hogwarts Legacy aims to stick with the source material, so one can expect to acquire their wands from Ollivander's store. Based on multiple trailers and gameplay showcases, it is safe to say that there will be customization to a certain extent. The many occurrences of clips focused on these items allude to the presence of several types.

A way eager fans can obtain a wand is by participating in a quiz on the website Wizarding World, where players can create an account and pass the quiz. Based on the answers, one can avail themselves of one based on many types of willow. Every wand comes bundled with a core—Phoenix feather, Dragon heartstring, and Unicorn hair.

Fans can then retrieve this wand in Hogwarts Legacy. However, those discontented with it won't be stuck to this one forever.

This news is great for gamers who have already acquired theirs from the website and wish to choose the one that fancies them in the game.

Whether players can modify their wands after picking them in the ceremony remains to be seen. Fans must wait until the game's release to see the options and peruse the different types.

Wands are an inseparable component in the wizarding world, so it's natural to expect a wide variety of choices while selecting. Hogwarts Legacy features many enemies, from dark wizards to goblins. Players can encounter them in the vast open world and use their arsenal of spells to combat the threats.

The title is rich in detail as it recreates all the common rooms belonging to each major house. The Hogwarts castle itself is majestic and hides many secrets. Potterheads will have a ball finding prominent areas like the grand staircase.

The world of Hogwarts Legacy is packed to the brim with magical beasts fans know and love from the Harry Potter lore. One can even tame them and tend to them from time to time, which yields unique rewards. Some can even be mounted, and players can traverse the vast open world faster.

Hogwarts Legacy offers a lot of flexibility in terms of spell combinations. These can be used in combat and exploration.
