How to Make Harry Potter in Hogwarts Legacy – Character Customization Guide

The Boy Who Lived!

While Hogwarts Legacy takes place many years before Harry Potter was born, that doesn’t mean The Boy Who Lived can’t be the main character of your gameplay experience. The game features a character creator that allows players to design whatever main character they want. But it also gives you the chance to roleplay what if Harry Potter was born in a different time. Here’s how to make Harry Potter in Hogwarts Legacy.

Choose the right preset

Unfortunately, there’s no preset that resembles Harry Potter from the outset. The closest we get to Daniel Radcliffe’s cheekbones and jawline is the second face on the second row. This will act as our base model to bring Harry Potter to life in Hogwarts Legacy. For skin color, you want to select the lightest shade so take the slider as far left as possible.

Likewise, select the signature Harry Potter glasses and watch your creation come to life.

Choose the right hair for the job

Hair does a lot of heavy lifting in this character creator. Throughout the series, Radcliffe dons several different hairstyles before settling in a relatively clean look for the final few installments of the series. But in the books, Potter was known for his messy hair at all times. The last hairstyle on the second row best captures this spirit while keeping some order as well.

Complexion and Scars

To replicate Harry Potter, you want to remove any freckles or other complexions, so go ahead and slide those all the way to the left. As every Potter fan knows, Harry is famous for his lightning bolt scar. In a bit of a strange omission, you are unable to give any character the lightning bolt. Sigh. So working with what we have, we opt for an eyebrow scar instead. Maybe, Potter got in a fight with a goblin in this reality.

Eye Color and Eye Brows

Okay, so we’re almost there! To complete Harry Potter’s look in Hogwarts Legacy, you want to select green eyes (after his mother Lily). For eyebrows, go ahead and select the second option on the second row. They best replicate Daniel Radcliffe’s from the movies.

For the final section, we kept the vocal range in the middle as we believe that best represents Harry. So there you have it! While our creation doesn’t quite replicate Potter from the films, it keeps the spirit of Harry Potter alive and allows you to venture into the game as your favorite character. Now you need to get into Gryffindor to really complete the transformation.
