To aid you in your search for the right house, we have prepared all the information you will need for Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw.

Sorting Ceremony

When you begin your sorting ceremony, you will need to make your first decision:

  • I can't wait to start classes.
  • I can't wait to explore.

These choices won't affect which house you get put into. However, there will be one other decision you will have to make that will have an impact:

  • Daring.
  • Curiosity.
  • Loyalty.
  • Ambition.

The first one equates to Gryffindor, the second to Ravenclaw, the third to Hufflepuff, and the last to Slytherin. Choosing the corresponding option will automatically place you in that house.

Gryffindor Traits

Gryffindor is known as the house of Daring in the game, and also has a few other traits:

  • Courage
  • Bravery
  • Chivalry
  • Nerve
  • Determination

If any of these traits match your personality, then Gryffindor could be the right choice for you. Gryffindors are considered the most adventurous, though sometimes this can get them into trouble. Along with these traits, you will want to consider the clothing aesthetics that come along with this house. Gryffindor's colors are scarlet and gold, so some of your clothing will reflect those colors rather than the other color options of the remaining houses.

You will also be able to make friends with Natsai Onai in Gryffindor, who you can become partners with and eventually travel the grounds together. You'll first meet her in the Gryffindor Common Room, which you will have full access to as a member of the house.

Slytherin Traits

Slytherin is the house of Ambition in Hogwarts Legacy, and includes the following traits as well:

  • Determination
  • Resourcefulness
  • Cunning
  • Pride
  • Self-preservation

If you feel you can fall under any of these categories, then Slytherin will be the best house for you. Slytherins are often considered the most sly and competitive of the bunch, often concerned with their achievements. When considering clothing in the game, Slytherins will have the option of the colors green and silver for some customization options.

In this house, you will have the option to befriend Sebastian Sallow and explore Hogwarts and the story with him. You'll meet the ambitious and optimistic student in the Slytherin Common Room which you will gain exclusive access to after your sorting.

Hufflepuff is known as the house of Loyalty, and includes some of the following traits as well:

  • Modesty
  • Just
  • Fairness
  • Patience
  • Hard-Working

Hufflepuffs are often the most friendly and kind of all the houses, making them very approachable and often quite intelligent. This house's colors are yellow and black, so keep this in mind when considering the colors you will be able to wear with some of the clothing customization options.

As for your companion in Hufflepuff, you'll be able to travel the world with Poppy Sweeting. Once you gain access to the Hufflepuff Common Room, you'll be able to meet the magical beast-lover inside here and begin your friendship.

Ravenclaw Traits

Ravenclaw is the house of Curiosity in Hogwarts Legacy, with the added bonus of the following traits:

  • Wit
  • Creativity
  • Intelligence
  • Learning
  • Wisdom
  • Acceptance

Ravenclaws are very studious and often focused on their studies over anything else, making them some of the most academically-impressive at Hogwarts. In terms of clothing, Ravenclaw has the colors of blue and bronze, so this will be your customization option for certain cosmetic items.

When given the opportunity to meet a future companion, Ravenclaws have the option to meet and befriend Amit Thakkar. Upon entering the Ravenclaw Common Room after your sorting ceremony, you'll be able to introduce yourself to the budding historian and build a rapport with him.
