The Best Hogwarts Legacy Houses (How to Join Them)

The Best Hogwarts Legacy Houses

One of the most iconic things about the Harry Potter franchise is the school of Hogwarts. And everyone knows that when you’re getting an admission, you are drafted into one of four iconic houses based on your personality. Of course, you don’t get to make this choice and the Sorting Hat is the one who tells you where you belong.

These houses compete with each other throughout the year and score points in education and sports. In the end, one house wins and within the canon of the books/movies – it tends to be Gryffindor due to Harry Potter being a part of it.

Fortunately, in Hogwarts Legacy, the player gets to choose their house themselves. Not only that, but Hogwarts Legacy is a prequel that takes place long before Harry Potter joins the school. So, you have a pretty good chance at excelling at all of your wizarding adventures without having to worry about the Chosen One stealing your spotlight.

Choosing the best Hogwarts Legacy house is not as simple as picking a badge. You have to answer a bunch of questions and then you are given the house that you want. Fortunately, we’re here to guide your way through the process.

So, how do you choose the best Hogwarts Legacy house, and which one is it? Let’s find out.

Houses in the Wizarding World are meant to be a representation of a person’s nature. So, what house you join normally means that you relate more to it. The four houses in Harry Potter are Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw.

Whether you have been a fan of the Harry Potter franchise or not, it’s undeniable that you rarely ever hear of Hufflepuff. They are not significant in any way and not much of a part of the lore either. Then we have Ravenclaw, which is better but it’s still something that is respected yet not particularly significant.

What we are mainly left with are the two primary houses – Slytherin and Gryffindor. As briefly mentioned here, Harry Potter himself belonged to Gryffindor and so did most of his friends. Though the Sorting Hat tells him that he’d fit Slytherin more – he just doesn’t want to join the likes of Draco Malfoy.

Let’s break down the key traits of both of these houses.

1. Slytherin

Slytherin are Cunning, Ambitious, Resourceful, Prideful, Determined, Leaders, Self-Preserved, and known for producing many popular witches and wizards. The icon for this house is a snake, while its element is said to be water.

2. Gryffindor

Gryffindor are Courageous, Brave, Determined, Daring, Nerving, and full of Chivalry. They are known for having polite and often selfless students and their icon represents a strong lion.

So, between these two, it’s really up to you regarding what house you pick. Slytherin are a bit cold and darker, while Gryffindor are happy-go-lucky. And we’re sure you already know which one you’re more similar to. It’s kind of a light vs dark thing, except no student is inherently evil.

Before we move on, let’s take a look at what players picked in the early days of the game.

  1. Slytherin – 12.6%
  2. Gryffindor – 9.8%
  3. Ravenclaw – 7.5%
  4. Hufflepuff – 3.9%.

How to pick your house in Hogwarts Legacy

Picking a house of your choice in Hogwarts Legacy is very simple.

When you reach the part in the game where the Sorting Hat asks you questions, the answers you give eventually determine what House you join. Fortunately, you can be honest about the answers and see what the Sorting Hat offers you.

Once you’re recommended a House and don’t want it – you can tell the Hat that you want to choose something else. Then you’re given a free choice to pick either of the four houses and once you pick it, the game will continue on as usual.

Not much changes based on which House you pick – so it’s really up to you. Being morally good or bad in the game can happen under any possible House.

Can you learn Unforgivable Curses as a Gryffindor student in Hogwarts Legacy?

Yes, you can learn Unforgivable Curses as a student of any house in Hogwarts Legacy. Some people assumed that only Slytherin students will be able to learn the Dark Arts in the game.

That’s everything that you need to know about what the best House in Hogwarts Legacy is and how you can join it. Long story short, it’s completely up to you and you won’t really miss out on anything based on what you pick.
