In Hogwarts Legacy faculties are a kind of faction, each of which has its own dorm, uniform, separate quest chain and other differences, so their choice plays an important role. In this guide, we will tell you exactly what you need to answer the Sorting Hat in order to get into one or another faculty, as well as tell you about their features and differences.
How to Choose a House at Hogwarts Legacy
After completing the tutorial mission and entering Hogwarts, you will have to take part in a special ceremony in which you will be put on the Sorting Hat. At first, it will indicate that you already have your own prejudices and some expectations. You will be able to choose one of two answers: "I'd rather start learning"
or "I'd rather explore the castle"
. However, they do not affect anything, so you can click on any of them.
The hat will then sense "some character trait", asking you which one it is. There will be four answer options, which actually affect which faculty will recommend a magical subject to you:
- Courage - you can get into Gryffindor.
- Curiosity - you can get into Ravenclaw.
- Loyalty - you will be able to get into Hufflepuff.
- Ambition - You will be able to get into Slytherin.
However, if you don't like the Sorting Hat's suggestion, you can simply use the option "Choose another faculty"
, which will bring up a menu with all four "factions" where you can choose any of them. If this is your first playthrough, you will unlock the achievement "Everyone has his own path".
How to pass the faculty test
If you are in doubt about the choice and want to find yourself in a house that will fully suit your character, which will allow you to better play the role of a student, then we advise you to take the Sorting Hat test on the Wizarding World website. Then simply link your account to your WB Games account (don't forget to link the latter to your console account as well).
To get started, you need to register for Harry Potter fan site, specifying the date of birth (preferably age 18+), E-Mail, password and nickname (must be in English). If you are on the main page of the site, then select the section "Hogwarts Sorting"
, then click the plus sign above House. Then click on the caption "Get Sorted Now"
.
Next, you will be asked a few questions. Unfortunately, they will all be in English. However, you can use Google Translate to roughly understand what is at stake. Answer the questions truthfully so that the hat can choose the best house for you.
Now you will need to import the result into the game. To do this, you will need to link your account on the site with your WB Games account. First pass the test for the magic wand, and then go to Legacy Connect section (you may need a VPN, since the publisher's website is not available in the Russian Federation) and click on the inscription Go to WB Games
. Then just follow the instructions.
At the end, you will see a message about linking your accounts and receive two rewards: a school fanatic's robe and a bird skull mask.
What influences the choice of faculty
Some elements of the gameplay will depend on which faculty you enter. Below we list all the differences.
Shape and colors
The general design of the uniform for all faculties is the same, however, the clothes differ in colors:
- Gryffindor - red and gold colors predominate.
- Hufflepuff - dominated by yellow and black colors.
- Slytherin - dominated by green and silver colors.
- Ravenclaw - dominated by blue and bronze colors.
Within the walls of the school, you will definitely have to wear a robe, and many accessories will remind you which “faction” you are a member of. So if you do not like a certain color, then we do not recommend choosing the appropriate faculty, so that the shade that is unpleasant for you does not constantly irritate your eyes.
Dormitory
Each of the faculties has its own hostel with its own common room and bedrooms. In them, students take a break from lessons, share the latest gossip or just chat with each other on various topics. You will be able to visit the dormitory only of your faculty - other similar premises will not be available to you.
Relationships and companions
Additional dialogues and acquaintances with 5th year students from your faculty are waiting for you. Plus, in each of them you can find a unique character who can become your companion. Most likely, it will be easiest to start a friendship with a satellite related to your “home”.
Additional tasks
Each of the faculties has its own quest chain, the passage of which allows you to receive a special reward and learn additional information about the school of magic and wizardry.
What is NOT affected by the choice of faculty
Regardless of which House you choose, you will still be able to socialize, complete assignments, and even team up with students from other "factions", including Companions. Plus, you won't get any special privileges or performance bonuses.
The main plot also does not depend on the faculty, therefore, in general, you should choose only based on your own preferences, and not any in-game "goodies". In the following, we briefly review each faculty.
Features of faculties
Gryffindor
- Who should choose: Harry Potter fans and adventure lovers.
- Companion: Natsui Onai
The bravest wizards and sorceresses graduate from Gryffindor, who often become heroes, as they like to participate in risky adventures. The book series is dedicated to three students of this faculty: Ron, Hermione and Harry, so it is an obvious choice for fans of the original books and films.
Fans will be able to visit the Gryffindor common room, which looks almost the same as it was shown in the movies, get to know the Fat Lady and see other "living" paintings hanging in the dorm. It is also home to one of the universe's most iconic ghosts, Nearly Headless Nick.
In this faculty, you can get acquainted with Natsai Onai, a brave and purposeful sorceress who is constantly in search of adventure, so she can become an ideal companion for a hero.
Slytherin
- Who should choose: Wizards who prefer to study the dark arts and want their achievements to be remembered for ages.
- Companion: Sebastian Sallow
Almost all dark wizards graduated from Slytherin. Players who appreciate greatness and want to achieve it by any means will feel comfortable in this faculty. Here you can meet a mysterious guy named Sebastian, who can teach the hero of dark magic.
Ravenclaw
- Who should choose: Wizards who value knowledge above all else.
- Companion: Ammit Thakkar
Wizards and sorceresses who graduated from this faculty are known for their sharp minds and high intelligence. Ravenclaw's living room was not shown in the films, so you have a great opportunity to get acquainted with its interior, made in an astronomical style.
Here you can meet Ammit, who wants to become a historian studying the origins of magic. He knows a lot of spells and does not mind telling his friend or girlfriend about them.
Hufflepuff
- Who should choose: Wizards who love to care for magical creatures and put friendship above all else.
- Companion: Poppy Dobring
Hufflepuff is considered home to the most caring and dedicated students. He is the true embodiment of companionship, as friendship is highly valued in him. The drawing room of the faculty is made in a natural style with a lot of plants.
Here you can meet a girl named Poppy, who is very fond of magical animals, and will be happy to teach her friend how to care for such creatures.
Once again, we note that regardless of the chosen faculty, you will be able to make friends with any of the indicated companions. This is all the information on "factions" in Hogwarts Legacy. We hope it will help you make the right choice.
