The entire appeal of creating your own student in Hogwarts Legacy is getting to live the life of a young witch or wizard in the titular academy. Just like the source material, the game doesn’t dwell too much on the more boring aspects of student life, but becoming a powerful spellcaster will require you to learn from those wiser than yourself.
The more spells you learn, the more you can do in and out of combat. Of course, there are only so many spells that can be included in a game, but if you want to know if you can cast your favorite, and how to learn it, pay attention to our lesson on every spell in Hogwarts Legacy. And of course, we have a standalone guide on how to learn Avada Kedavra.
How spells are unlocked
Spells can be learned in a few ways in Hogwarts Legacy. The most common way is to complete assignments given out by the cast of professors you will meet. Nearly every spell is optional for going through the main game, but it is well worth doing these assignments after you attend that professor’s class for the first time to give yourself as many options as possible.
The other way spells can be learned is through quests. Most you won’t miss, but some are from optional sidequests.
No matter how you learn the spell, you will still need to complete a small minigame to use it. To complete the minigame, you simply need to trace your wand around a specific pattern before a red light catches up to you. If it does, you need to start over.
