Hogwarts Legacy Wand Guide
Now let’s move on to the guide!
How to get a magic wand
First, you need to progress through the story a bit until you can travel to Hogsmeade! From here you can visit Ollivander’s and talk to him to find the best wand for you.
Keep in mind that the first few wands are incorrect due to the plot, but Ollivander will suddenly find the right one for you. Next you need to buy the magic wand! Unless you want to change the wand’s attributes beforehand.
Plus, you can also get an exclusive wand if you have a Harry Potter Fan Club and WB Games account! Link both accounts and play the main story until you receive (or choose) your house from the Sorting Hat.
Can I get a new wand?
Fancy a change? Unfortunately, you cannot change your wand after purchasing it from Ollivander. That’s why it’s super important to choose the right attributes for your wand before you buy it.
Magic Wand Adjustment
Here’s the extra fun part: customization! The cosmetics for your wand have no bonus stats, but they look great. You can customize your wand to your liking by changing the handles as you acquire them throughout the game.
However, before purchasing your wand from Ollivander, you will be given the option to change the wand’s wood type, flexibility, length and style! Whichever option you choose, it will not hinder your progress in the game. Let’s check out some of the customization options below!
