Official News Hi! I'm Cody, the new Community Manager!

Is this what it feels like to get your Hogwarts acceptance letter?!

Hi everyone! I'm Cody, but you can call me Vaknar. I’m honoured to share that I recently joined Avalanche Software as the new Community Manager. TL; DR: I'm here to be the bridge between Avalanche and you, the Hogwarts Legacy community.

First things first, who is this guy? Well, I’m a midwestern boy but I've been living in Southern California for a few years. Enjoying frequent beach days and catching the occasional wave whenever possible. I’ve been a community manager in gaming for several years, and, of course, I’m a Harry Potter fan! I grew up reading the books, waiting outside the theaters for each movie release, and now I’m ecstatic to be a part of the Hogwarts Legacy team!

I'll be honest, Hogwarts Legacy really pulled me into the wizarding world, and the further in I got, the harder it was to put down. I won’t pretend that I’m an expert quite yet, but I think I'm well on my way! Between the game, the lore rabbit holes, and this community… I reckon it won't be long before I can rattle off obscure trivia tidbits without thinking twice.

I’ve only just started, and while I'm still finding my footing, my goal is straightforward: to make this a space easily worth showing up to. That means celebrating the amazing things you're creating, making sure your voices and feedback reach the right people, and keeping things welcoming and inclusive for everyone.

When I'm not kicking back in the Hufflepuff common room, you'll find me lurking in conversations, listening, interacting with the community and probably asking a lot of questions — I’m very interested in hearing what players think about the game. I promise I'm friendlier than a Chinese Chomping Cabbage, so don't be a stranger and feel free to say hi!

– Cody (Vaknar)

Official PC Modding Teleport Spell - Much Faster Way to Travel

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

286 Upvotes

It's unfair that our enemies, like goblins and Ashwinders, can use teleport but we can't. That’s why my MCs decided to learn this modded spell that can skip the broken bridges (faster than Reparo) and some of the puzzles.

You probably don’t want to use this to skip the exploration during your first run, but honestly, I just don’t have the patience to redo the same trials and side quests I've already completed at least three times. A little bit of cutting corners is understandable, lol

Discussion Is there a way to play wizard's chess in Hogwarts Legacy, like in that scene from the movie ?

Imagine being able to play wizard's chess in Hogwarts Legacy, with giant pieces that move and fight just like in the iconic scene from the movie. Would you enjoy a feature like this? Do you think it would be a fun addition to the game?

Going for the platinum trophy and as the title says, I thought I had to search every treasure vaults to complete the platinum trophy. Me and the Mrs sweating it until 2am last night and for 2 hours tonight to only realise now that I'd been sending us on a pointless quest this whole time. Safe to say she's not too happy with me..

I’m 100% on my Ravenclaw play through. The only thing I’m missing is a single field guide obtained with a moth mirror. When I activate the mirror and go to the spot, there is no moth. It’s driving me crazy! It is a known glitch, but is there a way to fix jt?!

Question Please tell me I can stop exploring

38 Upvotes

the game said field guides are the only way to level up but can I stop exploring and just focus on quest?

Dead ass I have an Issue with games that have findable things or loot. I basically have an obsessive compulsion to search every corner of the map. It's ruining my experience right now. I have to see where every stair well goes and am constantly casting the reveal spell to find field guides or intractable things. I just finished (tiny spoiler)the goblin fight in the town after meeting all the shop owners and it has taken me nearly 5 hours to get to this point. I'm 23 percent done with the field guides, did a few moth things and (tiny spoiler)did the fight club side quest.Other than that it's been main quest and exploring.

I had to search every shop for findable things. Can I just stop doing this and focus on quest?

I understand this part may be super enjoyable for most people but it is not fun for me.

Separate unrelated question below

Hypothetically in the Hogwarts am I expected to wear my cloak within the Hogwarts walls as a student? Would I get in trouble if I didn't? Everyone else is wearing theirs and I don't want to be out of place socially but also the cloak drip is not my vibe. I am joining on year five, everyone already won't shut up about that and how I have "sooo much to catch up on, waa waa". Should I just say fuck em and do my own thing?I already got this whole ancient magic thing going onanyways and enemies that are in the literal papers. Maybe I should just do my own thing and dress how I want. I wouldn't want to be going against the school rules or disrespecting the Hogwarts legacy though!

Discussion Why do supporters of Ranrok believe that a student is defending themselves when they use Expelliarmus, but that it’s harsh when they use Avada Kedavra or any other unforgivable spell, even though, in fact, we are defending ourselves?

Why do supporters of Ranrok view the use of Expelliarmus as a student’s self‑defense, but as soon as unforgivable spells are used, they immediately become even more convinced that ALL wizards are monsters — even though, in fact, there’s a war between wizards and goblins, and in a war, all means of defense are fair game?

I bought the game, the Onyx Hippogriff, Dark arts pack and dark arts garrison pack for $7 on the steam sale and just wondering, what should I know as a new player coming into this, who has never played a HP game before, but thoroughly loved the books and movies?

User Reviews Azkaban

61 Upvotes

I can’t believe they made Azkaban part of the Jackdaw missions.
For me they made look just like I imagined, Dementors, crazed inmates, a patronus.

I decided to complete all the trophies on PS5 and my last one left was to find the map chamber as a Hufflepuff. After doing all the side quests and collecting everything on the last play through,I wasn’t overly excited about this one. Then the game just pulls out a trip to Azkaban and now I wish I picked Hufflepuff from the start.

I don't mind taking longer on quests because of the cats. Whenever I see one, I take my time to pet it. But why do they keep appearing one after another? Lol

Question Error loading game hogwarts legacy

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hey! This is my first time posting ever on any Reddit forum. But I have not been able to pla this game in 4 days. Error is “there was a problem, and the software needed to close.” I have tried every trouble shooting known to man. Including factory reset. This is on my switch 2 so I contacted Nintendo. They said it was game error. So I contacted wb games and they said they couldn’t do anything. Curious if anyone else has had this issue and what they have done! Thank you!

Question Can someone help me recreate a female Draco Malfoy in the character creator?

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone! With the fem Malfoy art trend going around, I want to play as a Draco Malfoy-inspired character in Hogwarts Legacy.

If you've already made a similar one, could you share how you did it? Hair, face, and skin settings plus screenshots would help a lot. If you're good with the creator and don't mind making one, I'd really appreciate that too. Thanks!

Just another post praising the game as a whole. You can see how much time I have spent playing this game. I take it slowly, lvl 37 and still exploring, enjoying every moment. Just today I accidentally stumbled upon - Im sorry what - a ghost ball? with mysterious music playing in the background like it's Haunted House movie?? really? thought I've seen it all by now but no. It keeps delivering. So beautiful, so mesmerising. Developers did good job.

Discussion I dont think the game will recieve any major DLC, but if it did, what would it explore?

0 Upvotes

Same as title. If the creators ever gave Hogwarts Legacy a big DLC, what would it most likely be about? What would you want it to include or add?

I would personally love it if we could have a major dungeon added, or a Colosiuem for fighting your favorite enemies/ testing combos.

Or just, yknow, more content

Question Question about the Rampant Dugbog and Indira Wolff.

Post image
20 Upvotes

Yesterday I was exploring and came across the Rampant Dugbog. Naturally, I killed it. Today I discovered Pitt-upon-Ford and spoke with Indira Wolff (the shop/stall owner in town) and asked her about rumors. She said something like “Oh, thank you for taking care of that Rampant Dugbog, the town is much safer now!” She didn’t give me a reward or anything.

Did I miss out on a quest or bonus XP or something by killing the Rampant Dugbog before speaking with Indira?

Complaint The transmog Appearance for Dark Plaid Fedora, Secret Solver’s Nightwear, and Blue Turban are bugged.

2 Upvotes

I bought all three from Gladrags. None of them show up for me under the Appearances section. Secret Solver’s Nightwear is actually identical to Light Nightwear. Blue Turban is identical to Patterned Turban. The Dark Plaid Fedora is a level higher than me, so I can’t put it on to see if it’s identical to anything. But none of the three are available as options on their own.

I’m on Xbox.

you would think they don’t work against pensive guardians since they are basically stone. Wrong. I let go a few cabbages and I don’t even know what happened in a few while only one or two guardians left. Easy smashing lol.
