Harry Potter Magic Awakened is the latest adaptation of the beloved magical franchise, which has impressed many avid fans and players alike. While it may seem like a simple card-collecting game, it has many interesting aspects. The highlight is a new story presented in a vibrant art style and a thematic fashion. Players have, however, been pondering about the most important tool, the wand, and whether or not it can be changed in-game.

Unfortunately, there is no provision in Harry Potter Magic Awakened to change one's wand as of this writing. Many players are dejected by this omission as they expected some flexibility in wand selection.

While the absence of this feature is not well-received, there are many other ways the game compensates for it. You are offered a character creator with multiple customization options and activities, including Duelling Club, Dance Club, and Forbidden Forest.

Harry Potter Magic Awakened stays faithful to the source material, evidenced by its thematic user interface and story that starts off in the same manner as the Harry Potter movies. While you cannot change your wand in the game, there are limited customization options in the form of skins.

The game does not offer in-depth customization for wands to the extent of Hogwarts Legacy. You can, however, change the way it looks by applying different skins to it.
