All Spells in Hogwarts Legacy (so far)
Expelliarmus!
Harry Potter fans are familiar with the Chosen One’s signature spell, but what spell will you cast most often in Hogwarts Legacy?
Maybe you prefer Stupefy, Protego, or even Avada Kedavra!
In Hogwarts Legacy, you will write your own story in the wizarding world. Spellcasting is key to that experience. Will you choose a stealthy approach, avoiding enemies whenever possible, or will you choose to destroy everything in your path? Players will face multiple options in this open-world RPG!
Today we’ll be looking at all 60 spells revealed (Revelio!) in the Hogwarts Legacy State of Play. (If you’ve already seen it, you know, many, many times — you can enjoy my live reaction or my frame-by-frame analysis with Auror Jeffrey!)
Some of these are spells we expect to learn and use in Hogwarts Legacy because they’re spoken or seen used by characters, and some are name drops in the background that I uncovered in a frame-by-frame analysis. To visually see the specific moments of each spell, you can watch my video overview.
Grab your wand, and let’s take a look!
