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.
