Hogwarts Legacy Patronuses: Are they in-game & potential list

In Hogwarts Legacy, just like in the Harry Potter franchise, the good and the evil are two opposing, yet instrumental, forces that move the world from a state of harmony to a state of utter chaos. Although the line between the good and the evil in Hogwarts Legacy is slightly blurred with you being able to become a dark wizard, there are still universal villains like the Dementors.

The Dementors are dark creatures normally tasked with guarding Azkaban, home to the most dangerous criminals like Bellatrix Lestrange. From time to time, they roam freely the magical lands, feeding off happy memories until every bit of hope and peace abandons you. In the words of Harry’s favorite teacher, Remus Lupin: “Dementors are among the foulest creatures that walk this earth. They infest the darkest, filthiest places, they glory in decay and despair, they drain peace, hope, and happiness out of the air around them… Get too near a Dementor and every good feeling, every happy memory will be sucked out of you. If it can, the Dementor will feed on you long enough to reduce you to something like itself… soulless and evil.”

To fend off Dementors and send them back where they came from, witches and wizards use the Patronus charm. Centered around gathering your happiest memories and keeping them vivid in your mind, the Patronus charm summons an animal that represents your personality. There’s been a lot of talk does the Patronus charm exist in Hogwarts Legacy so, let’s find out.

Are Patronuses in Hogwarts Legacy?

Although the community was led to believe that the Patronus charm will be in Hogwarts Legacy, the Patronus charm definitely won’t make an appearance in the game. On Feb. 4, Warner Bros’ support confirmed that Patronuses are not in the game and there are no plans to include them in the future.

Despite the players not being able to learn and use the Patronus charm, you’ll still be able to visit Azkaban, see the Dementors, and even witness an NPC using the Patronus charm. This content is exclusive to Hufflepuff house, according to Video Games Chronicle. This is a side quest that will become available when you reach level six and defend the helpless woman at the lakeside.

Potential Patronuses in Hogwarts Legacy

Although the players won’t be able to summon the Patronus charm in Hogwarts Legacy, there’s still a sliver of hope that lives that we’ll one day be able to run around the castle with our own Patronuses. Bear in mind this is just wishful thinking, but still, here’s the list of all Patronuses that could make their way to the game if only Warner Bros agreed. The list comes from the famous Harry Potter fan site, Pottermore.
