Hogwarts Legacy sorting quiz: how to choose houses

Just like in the Harry Potter books and films, you can Choose your house In Hogwarts legacy through a Sorting Hat Quiz.

For the uninitiated, the four Hogwarts houses are Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff. Gryffindors are bold and brave, Slytherins are cunning and ambitious, Ravenclaws are eccentric and intelligent, and Hufflepuffs are trustworthy and hardworking.

However, like the characters of the series, your home doesn’t define you. For example, Hermione Granger is considered one of the smartest students at Hogwarts despite being a Gryffindor and not a Ravenclaw.

By understanding how Hogwarts legacy‘s sorting quiz works – or by using the account linking feature before playing – you can end up in the house of your choice.

How house sorting works in Hogwarts Legacy

Shortly after the game begins, you arrive at Hogwarts just in time for the Sorting ceremony. There are two different ways you can be sorted into your home.

You can either take a very short in-game quiz or link your Harry Potter Fan Club and WB Games accounts for a more personalized house selection. Whichever method you choose, You can influence the Sorting Hat’s decision.

Once you arrive at the Sorting Ceremony after the tutorial, you will be seated at the front of the Great Hall and Professor Weasley will place the Sorting Hat on your head.

From here you will be presented with two prompts that will require you to make a choice.

• daring. (Griffindor)
• Curiosity. (ravenclaw)
• Loyalty. (Hufflepuff)
• Ambition. (Slytherins)

If you’re not happy with the house you’ve been sorted into, you can choose which house you want to join.

Note that you won’t get this choice if you’ve linked your accounts, since you’ve already completed the quiz. Instead, you’ll just get the “Start Courses”/”Explore” question, which doesn’t affect the result of the house sort.
