Hogwarts Legacy presents players with the choice of which Hogwarts House they want to be part of at the end of the intro. This choice has a number of cosmetic effects on gameplay and also changes which of the House Dormitories the player has access to.
Along with the aforementioned changes, Hogwarts Legacy also has four exclusive story quests that can only be accessed by players who have selected a particular House. These quests all lead to them meeting the ghost of Jackdaw, who knows the location of missing pages from a book acquired earlier in the story and will start automatically once players have attended Herbology and Potions and learned about the Merlin Trials.
Gryffindor: The Hunt for the Missing Pages
Gryffindor Students begin the Hunt for the Missing Pages by speaking to Nearly Headless Nick, who can be found floating around the House Hourglasses. As noted in other Harry Potter media, he's hoping to join the Headless Hunt and wants to bring something to them in the hopes of impressing them.
This leads players to the secret entrance that allows them to enter the Hogwarts Kitchens, which is quite close to the Hufflepuff Common Room. A ticklish pear hides the door, and players can find a piece of rotten roast beef on a barrel inside. No doubt to account for Ghosts only being able to taste very faintly, needing strong tasting and often foul food in order to achieve any semblance of flavor.
From here, players must find a Pumpkin Field near the Hogsmeade Cemetery and meet the Headless Hunt, who deny Nearly Headless Nick for not being completely Headless and then take part in some ghostly hide-and-seek to find Richard Jackdaw's head and finish the quest.
Hufflepuff: Prisoner of Love
Hufflepuff students start this quest by speaking to the Portrait of Eldritch Diggory, who seems to know something about the book from the Restricted Section and believes it's connected to a case his Great Niece once investigated.
Now a retired Auror, players must visit her to find out more. Helen Thistlewood explains that Richard Jackdaw's death was blamed on a girl named Anne by Apollonia Black, who was jealous of Jackdaw and Anne's relationship.
Anne was attempting to solve some sort of riddle Jackdaw gave her that would lead to her meeting up with him but was unable to solve it. Helen believes she may have solved it by now, but she's in Azkaban and is reluctant to speak to people after years of torment at the hands of Dementors.
Helen suggests that a student of Hogwarts might be more familiar to Anne and thus be able to get through to her. A trip to Azkaban ensues, where players can speak to Anne and get clues about a cave in Upper Hogsfield.
Inside the cave, players can find a puzzle involving six blocks that can be pulled using Accio. Using Revelio will turn some of them blue, and pulling these out will open up the path forward and allow players to grab the note Jackdaw left for Anne. On leaving, they'll encounter Jackdaw's ghost, and the quest will end.
Ravenclaw: Ollivander's Heirloom
Ravenclaw students start this quest by helping Ollivander track down an heirloom wand that was stolen long ago by Richard Jackdaw. Ollivander suspects there are clues to where he hid it at the Hogwarts Owlery. Atop the Owlery are several small alcoves, and some of them have rings that can be pulled using the Accio spell, and some of these contain Jackdaw statues that are needed to continue.
Collect the first three, put them in position where prompted, and then climb up the ladder to find more alcoves and two more statues. After these statues join the others, players are propelled to the top of the Owlery in a cutscene and meet with Jackdaw, who agrees to help them find the missing wand and pages.
Slytherin: Scrope's Last Hope
Slytherin students start this quest with a message from a House Elf, who tells them to find a second note he has left for them in the Clocktower Courtyard, which isn't too tricky to locate since it's in the mouth of a Gryphon statue. Open it up to learn that the scavenger hunt isn't over yet, and players should cross the wooden bridge to find another note.
This time it's atop a rock on the left which can be reached by moving a crate into position using the Accio charm. This note offers a clue to the location of one final note, inside a pumpkin down the hill that must be smashed open using the Basic Cast. This finally leads players to an area near the broken docks to meet Scrope.
The Headmaster's House Elf wants help retrieving a ring from a cave and claims that their previous master "Apollonia Black" knew something about the lost pages and used to use the cave as a study. Head on into the cave with a short swim and then investigate the pedestal by the mural. Accept a toast to open the path forward and check Apollina's notes, at which point Jackdaw shows up, and the quest ends.
Hogwarts Legacy is available for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S and is coming soon to PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
