Source Node: 1942422

After a lengthy intro, your own customized witch or wizard will, eventually, make their way to Hogwarts. And just in time for the ceremony, where you’re also introduced to Headmaster Phineas Nigellus Black. Now, you’ve got to make a choice that students either dream of or dread. Here’s our Hogwarts Legacy Sorting Hat guide to help you choose your own House – i.e., Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin.

Note: We’ll have a Hogwarts Legacy guides and features hub soon, so stay tuned.

Hogwarts Legacy Sorting Hat and choosing your House guide

In this pivotal moment in Hogwarts Legacy, the Sorting Hat will be placed on your head and you’ll get to choose your House. You’re only given a couple of responses: “I can’t wait to start classes” or “I can’t wait to explore.” Regardless of your pick, if you’ve completed the sorting/wand quiz and linked your account, the Sorting Hat will choose that result as the default. In my case, my quiz result gave me Gryffindor. (It’s probably because of a question where I picked a cat, but that’s another story.)

However, if you don’t like a particular House, you can always choose something else. The options — Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin — can be selected as you wish. The Sorting Hat will also remark about certain qualities that make someone ideal for a particular group:

  • Gryffindor – Bravery and headstrong nature.
  • Hufflepuff – Care and concern for others.
  • Ravenclaw – Intelligence and sharp wit.
  • Slytherin – Cunning and ambition.

After this, Professor Weasley will automatically cause your robes to change into your House’s colors. Then, come the next day, you’ll wake up in your dorm room and speak to your classmates. To be clear, though, the story progresses normally past this stage, so this is mostly for added immersion and being able to live your fantasy if you’re a long-time fan of the novels or movies.
