Hogwarts Legacy: Should You Wear School Uniform While at School? Answered

Dress code? No one cares!

Hogwarts Legacy is smashing records and impressing critics with its groundbreaking graphics, and unique attention to detail. This game provides a fresh perspective on how the wizards and witches of Hogwarts live. It is based on J.K. Rowling’s original Wizarding World as described in the Harry Potter novels and films. The plot of Hogwarts Legacy is set in late the 1800s to avoid contingency errors, taking place well before the births of both Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort, and possibly even Albus Dumbledore as well! As a brand-new 5th-year student who is enrolling at Hogwarts for the first time, players will be able to join their ranks. They will learn how to create spells, make potions, and perhaps even tap into secret ancient magic that is currently being explored by an evil Goblin Rebellion.

The game is populated with many NPCs who react to changes in the environment, such as the time of day in their setting. Because of the realness these non-playable characters offer, some gamers are wondering whether they should be wearing their school uniform in the game. Since the NPCs can judge you differently based on the spells you cast (only temporarily, though) and how you speak to them, could they also care about what you’re wearing in class?

The short answer to this question is that it doesn’t matter what you wear in Hogwarts Legacy. Players can feel comfortable wearing whatever they wish no matter whether they’re heading off to bed or battling a Dark Wizard. The NPCs in the game do not seem to care about the clothes on your back, but they certainly take into consideration the contents of your character.

Therefore, feel free to show off all of your rare cosmetics to the clearly unfashionable students of Hogwarts, and maybe you’ll inspire some of them to change up their style too. Ha-ha, unlikely. But you can still get a laugh out of your character appearing in a cutscene in some crazy outfit while everyone else is dressed in the dark robes of Hogwarts students.

Hopefully you now feel comfortable in wearing whichever outfit you’d like in Hogwarts! That wraps up our full walkthrough of what NPCs think of your clothing in Hogwarts Legacy.
