Hogwarts Legacy offers an in-depth character creator, allowing you to change every aspect of your character’s appearance. This ranges from various body and facial shapes, skin colors, scars, and additional cosmetic changes native to the game, allowing you to truly bring the character of your choosing to life. So, here’s everything you need to know about changing your character’s appearance in Hogwarts Legacy.

Once your character’s appearance is set after the initial customization, the game will lock you out of certain customization features. Features like complexion, face and body structure, voice, and your chosen gender cannot be changed beyond the starting point.

This is why the game provides players with an extensive character creator with every possible option so you can get your character looking exactly the way you want them to at the very beginning. If you feel like you aren’t satisfied with the way your character looks after you start, you will have to start a new save file and create a new character.

Can you change your hair in Hogwarts Legacy?

You can still change your hairstyle and hair color freely by visiting the barber at Madam Snelling’s Tress Emporium in Hogsmeade. Your outfit is also highly customizable with upgradeable gear you can transmog to appear like any piece of gear you’ve discovered.

Unfortunately, though, there’s no Polyjuice Potion available that can permanently change your character’s appearance in Hogwarts Legacy.
