That means you can make your first big choice in the world of Hogwarts Legacy before you get your hands on the game.

Exactly what impact your Hogwarts house has on the game’s plot and your individual character is unclear. But that doesn’t make it any less important to fans who have always dreamt about picking their house.

So, how can you make the big decision now prior to the game’s release in 2023? Keep reading to find out how to choose your house in Hogwarts Legacy

How To Choose Your House In Hogwarts Legacy

Avalance states players will be able to choose their house “at the start” of the game. Presumably, it’ll be one of the very first things you do after creating your character.

But there is a way to select your house early if you want to.

This is how to choose your house in Hogwarts Legacy. Players can bring their Wizarding World identity – including their Hogwarts house and wand – into Hogwarts Legacy by linking their Harry Potter Fan Club and WB Games accounts.

To do this, visit wizardingworld.com/legacyconnect. If you already have a Harry Potter Fan Club account and have your house and wand, you’ll simply need to link it to your WB Games account.

However, you’ll need to create an account if you don’t have one. Once you’ve logged in or created an account, you’ll be prompted to get sorted into a house by taking a quiz. You’ll then need to complete another quiz to discover your wand.

Once that’s done, you can link your accounts and then you’ll be all set for Hogwarts Legacy.

Thankfully, the Wizarding World website will guide you through the whole process so it’s nice and straightforward.

If you aren’t happy with the house the Sorting Hat chose for you, you can do the Sorting Ceremony again via the Harry Potter Fan Club app. You can only change houses once.

Players who link their accounts will also receive exclusive in-game rewards. This includes House Fan-atic School Robe and a Beaked Skull Mask.
