Customizing your wand in Harry Potter Magic Awakened

Anyone who has consumed any Harry Potter related media before might recall that in the Wizarding World, the wand chooses the wizard and not the other way around. The same happens when you get your wand in Harry Potter Magic Awakened.

Once you enter OIlivander's shop, you will be given a prompt to interact with the wandmaker. Next, a cutscene will play showing you getting your first wand or rather, your wand choosing you. This will be important for taking part in duels. Once the scene plays, simply play through the rest of the Diagon Alley section in Harry Potter Magic Awakened until you finally travel to Hogwarts.

Go through the few mandatory sections until you regain full access to your character and can start exploring the world. One of the first things that will be taught to you in Harry Potter Magic Awakened is to open your knapsack to access the character customization menu, where you can change your character's appearance.

In this same menu, there is an option to make changes to your wand. It will be indicated by a wand icon. Clicking on it reveals the various skins that are available for you to equip to change your wands appearance. If you haven't yet found or purchased any wand skins, you will find that you are unable to make changes to your wand for now.
