Playstyle

Play the game as Harry Potter and dive deep into Hogwarts Legacy's story as the series' eponymous wizard!

Your spells will revolve around Expelliarmus and Stupefy, which are some of Harry's trademark spells. Get the Disarming Curse, Stunning Curse, and Blood Curse talents to increase your damage.

Additionally, you can add stealth into the mix and pretend that you can wield the Cloak of Invisibility with Disillusionment, which you can use to sneak around your opponents and attack them from behind.

For gear traits, you can improve your offense with Disarming III and Ambush III. You can also enhance your defense against Dark wizards with Protego Shielding III.

Gear

Use some of the Gryffindor school gear that you can obtain early in the game to copy Harry's look. Since most of these gears have low stats, we recommend equipping them as outfits via transmog, and use better gear as you get them. This way, you can still look like Harry without sacrificing your stats!
