In Hogwarts Legacy, one of the most exciting features is the ability to create and customize your very own wizard or witch. Whether you want to make someone who looks like you, craft an entirely new character, or try to bring an iconic figure like Harry Potter into the magical world, the possibilities are endless.
Although Hogwarts Legacy is set in the 1800s—decades before Harry Potter was born—you can still build a character that closely resembles the famous young wizard. While you won’t be able to play as Harry Potter himself (since he’s not around yet), you can make your character look strikingly similar to the iconic boy who lived. Below, we’ll walk you through the steps to make your character resemble Harry Potter and give you tips on how to achieve that classic HP look.
1. Choose the Right Gender and Voice
Although Harry Potter’s gender is male, you can opt for either male or female when creating your character in Hogwarts Legacy. This won’t drastically change your character’s ability to resemble Harry, but it is an essential first step.
- Gender: Select "Male" if you want your character to resemble Harry Potter more closely.
- Voice: Harry’s voice in the films is relatively youthful, with a slightly cocky yet earnest tone. In Hogwarts Legacy, the game offers you voice choices, so pick one that matches the tone of Harry Potter’s youthful determination.
2. Facial Features: Hair, Eyes, and Scars
Harry’s facial features are iconic, so this is where you’ll need to focus the most. While Hogwarts Legacy doesn’t offer an exact "Harry Potter" preset, you can achieve a look that closely mirrors him with some adjustments.
Hair:
- Style: Harry’s hair is known for being messy and a little wild, often looking as though he’s just rolled out of bed. Choose a hairstyle that looks tousled, somewhat messy, and not too controlled.
- Color: Opt for a dark brown or black shade. Harry’s hair color is a deep brown, almost black, so selecting this shade will give your character that classic look.
Eyes:
Harry is known for his striking green eyes, a feature that is hard to miss. In Hogwarts Legacy, eye color customization is available, so make sure to select green for an authentic Harry look. If green isn’t available, choose the closest option to give your character a similar appearance.
Glasses:
Harry’s round, wire-frame glasses are one of his signature features. While the game doesn't offer an exact "Harry Potter" glasses option, you can look for glasses that are circular and have thin frames. This small detail will help your character resemble Harry more closely.
Scar:
Arguably the most iconic feature of Harry Potter is his lightning-shaped scar on his forehead. In Hogwarts Legacy, you can add a variety of marks and scars to your character’s face. While you won’t find an exact match for Harry’s famous scar, try to find a lightning-shaped one, or at least a similar, prominent scar that you can place in the middle of your character’s forehead.
3. Choosing Skin Tone and Facial Structure
Harry’s skin tone is light, but the game provides various skin tone options. Go with one of the lighter shades to stay true to his appearance.
When it comes to facial structure, Harry has a rather youthful face, with a slightly rounded jaw and soft features. Avoid sharp angles or overly strong lines. Look for a face template that is subtle and not too chiseled, capturing Harry's youthful and unassuming appearance.
4. Clothing and Accessories
While you won’t find Harry’s exact Hogwarts uniform from the films in Hogwarts Legacy, you can still achieve a similar look by using some of the game’s available gear and customization options.
- Hogwarts Robes: Choose the classic Hogwarts robes, which will resemble what Harry wears during his school years. Although the colors may vary depending on the house you select, they’ll give your character the distinct magical school look.
- Accessories: In Hogwarts Legacy, you can add accessories such as scarves, hats, and gloves. Try to keep it simple and avoid too many frills. Harry’s look is understated, with a focus on practicality. You may also want to avoid overly flashy accessories, as Harry is known for his simplicity.
5. Choosing a House
Harry Potter is famously a Gryffindor, so if you want your character to be as close to him as possible, you should choose Gryffindor as your house. This house is known for bravery, courage, and daring—traits that Harry exhibits throughout the series.
While it is possible to be sorted into other houses in Hogwarts Legacy, choosing Gryffindor will help your character better embody Harry's legacy. Plus, the Gryffindor common room and dormitory will add a sense of connection to the iconic aspects of Harry's story.
6. Personality and Traits
One of the most defining aspects of Harry Potter is his personality. He is brave, selfless, and often willing to put others before himself. While personality choices in Hogwarts Legacy are more about dialogue and decisions, you can try to make choices in line with Harry's character:
- Choose dialogue options that emphasize bravery, friendship, and loyalty.
- Show kindness and a willingness to fight for justice, even when the odds seem insurmountable.
- Engage in quests and activities that require courage and moral decisions—traits that Harry embodies throughout his journey.
7. Final Touches: Spell Choices and Wand
Harry's wand is a crucial part of his identity, and while you can’t have Harry’s specific wand (since it’s not part of the Hogwarts Legacy canon), you can still pick one that fits his personality. A wand with a relatively simple appearance, such as a wooden one with a standard length, will suit the Harry Potter vibe.
As for spells, Harry is known for his proficiency in spells like Expelliarmus, Lumos, and Expecto Patronum. You can use these spells in Hogwarts Legacy to stay true to Harry’s magical skill set.
Conclusion: Bringing Harry Potter to Life in Hogwarts Legacy
While you can't directly play as Harry Potter in Hogwarts Legacy, you can certainly create a character that resembles him closely. With careful customization, you can recreate his iconic look, from his messy hair and round glasses to his famous scar. Choosing Gryffindor house and staying true to his values will help you fully immerse yourself in the Harry Potter experience.
If you’ve already gone through the character creation options, you might be surprised at just how close you can get to making your own version of Harry.
