In Hogwarts Legacy you are free to choose whether you belong to Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin. Our quiz should help you decide!
Anyone who grew up in the 90s probably knows the question And… which Hogwarts house would you belong in?
This choice is of paramount importance to many Potter fans. At the beginning of a wizard’s or witch’s career, each student of magic is divided into one of the four houses: There are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. All four are associated with different characteristics such as courage, friendship, ambition and cunning.
Each house has its own common room with dormitories, its own school uniform with the crest of the house, and a common points account. Good and diligent students receive plus points, bad students are deducted points. At the end, all points of the house are added up and compared with the other houses. The winner gets the house cup. A prestigious trophy.
Which house do you belong to?
Now that you have a basic understanding of the role houses play in Hogwarts, it’s time to decide which house suits you best ahead of the release of Hogwarts Legacy on February 10th, 2022. We have set up a small quiz with 10 questions for you:

If you want to do more tests or even take your house choice directly into the game, you have to create two accounts with WB Games and the Harry Potter fan club and be sorted into a house there again via test. Our guide to pre-house selection explains exactly how this works.
If you don’t feel like creating multiple accounts, simply take the GameStar quiz and then decide which house you should play in-game. That should be loud official developer FAQ namely also work.
