Gameplay

Hogwarts Legacy is an action role-playing video game played from a third-person perspective. Players create a character by customising features such as appearance, voice, and complexion. They choose whether to be housed in a witch or wizard dormitory and select one of the four Hogwarts Houses, guided by the Sorting Hat. Each Hogwarts House (Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin) features a unique common room accessible only to its members and exclusive quests.

Once caught, these creatures can be kept in vivariums. Other magical creatures available for interaction include unicorns, kneazles, and puffskeins.
