Characters - Hogwarts Legacy

There are a lot of witches and wizards to keep track of in Hogwarts Legacy, from your teachers, to the companions you meet, to the nefarious villains whose plans you’re tasked with foiling. It can be tough to keep track of everyone, much less find them all! In this guide, we’ll list every character in the game — organized by role — and tell you where you can find them.

Please note that this guide is a work in progress, and will not be complete until the game releases. When it does, we’ll work on updating it ASAP with more information.

Hogwarts Teachers & Staff

What would Hogwarts be without its teachers? While we haven’t had a chance to actually interact with them yet, the professors of Hogwarts Legacy look just as rich and varied as the faculty that was around in Harry Potter’s time. In Hogwarts Legacy, the Hogwarts professors and staff include:

Phineas Nigellus Black – Headmaster (and arguably a character who belongs in the Villain category)
Matilda Weasley – Transfiguration Professor and Deputy Headmistress
Cuthbert Binns – History of Magic Professor
Eleazar Fig – Magical Theory Professor
Mirabel Garlick – Herbology Professor
Dinah Hecat – Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor
Bai Howin – Beasts Professor
Chiyo Kogawa – Flying Professor
Gladiwin Moon – Caretaker
Mudiwa Onai – Divination Professor
Abraham Ronen – Charms Professor
Satyavati Shah – Astronomy Professor
Aesop Sharp – Potions Professor
The Sorting Hat – House Assignments
Agnes Scribner – Head Librarian
Noreen Blainey – Hospital Matron
Deek – House-Elf

Hogwarts Students

Students are the heart and soul of the school, and Hogwarts Legacy has an interesting and diverse cast of students. We’ll list the companions first, and then the rest of the students in alphabetical order. Here are the students you’ll meet in Hogwarts Legacy:

Natsai Onai (Companion) – Gryffindor witch
Poppy Sweeting (Companion) – Hufflepuff witch
Sebastian Sallow (Companion) – Slytherin wizard
Amit Thakkar (Not a Companion) – Ravenclaw wizard
Astoria – Ravenclaw Witch
Lucan Brattleby – Gryffindor wizard, leader of the Crossed Wands Dueling Club
- Found in the Clock Tower
Everett Clopton – Ravenclaw Student
Constance Dagworth – Ravenclaw witch
Lenora Everleigh – Hufflepuff witch
Zenobia Noke – Ravenclaw witch
Nellie Oggspire – Gryffindor witch
Mahendra Pehlwaan – Ravenclaw wizard
Leander Prewett – Gryffindor wizard
Imelda Reyes – Slytherin Witch
Nerida Roberts – Slytherin witch
Hector Weasley – Gryffindor wizard
Ominis Gaunt – Slytherin wizard
Arthur Plumly – Hufflepuff wizard
Garreth Weasley
Sacharissa Tugwood

Hogwarts Ghosts & Paintings

While not as explicitly crucial to the school’s function as teachers and students are, the castle ghosts and portraits are nonetheless an integral piece of the fabric of the school, providing comic relief (and perhaps the occasional Spiritus Ex Machina) throughout the Harry Potter books and movies. It’s likely they’ll serve a similar function in this game as well. The ghosts you’ll meet in Hogwarts Legacy are:

Sir Nestor Amset – Headless Hunt member
The Bloody Baron – Slytherin Ghost
The Fat Friar – Hufflepuff Ghost
Sir Patrick Delany-Podmore – Headless Hunt member
Fastidio – Poltergiest
Fat Lady – Portrait that guards Gryffindor Tower
Richard Jackdaw – Headless Hunt member
Nearly-Headless Nick – Gryffindor Ghost
Peeves – Poltergeist
Sir Dumfrey Westland – Headless Hunt member
The Grey Lady – Ravenclaw House Ghost

Based on one of the art book leaks, it appears Gryffindor Students will get a chance to interact with the Headless Hunt in some fashion.

Allies

Although much of your time will be spent with the students and staff of Hogwarts, they won’t be your only source of help along the way. Here are the non-Hogwarts allies you’ll have in Hogwarts Legacy:

George Osric – Ministry of Magic official, charming and gregarious
Garnuff – Champion of beasts’ rights, goblin

Villains

The game’s plot has been kept under relatively tight wraps, but it seems safe to assume at this point that the goblin rebellion will feature prominently in the main quest. Whether leading a goblin rebellion against the Ministry of Magic is actually a bad thing is certainly up for debate — goblins seem like they’re pretty oppressed in the Wizarding World — but as far as Hogwarts Legacy is concerned, it seems like the rebels will likely be “the bad guys”. The known villains of Hogwarts Legacy are:

Ranrock – leader of the goblin rebellion
Victor Rookwood – Dark Wizard allied with Ranrock
Catrin Haggarty – Dark Wizard
Dunstan Trinity – Dark Wizard
Tempeste Thorne – Dark Wizard
Theophilius Harlow – Dark Wizard

Vendors

We haven’t gotten much info on the game’s shopkeepers, but we do know a few of the locations you’ll be able to spend your Galleons. The Vendors of Hogwarts Legacy include:

Gerbold Ollivander – Wand Seller of Ollivander’s
Thomas Brown – Runs Tomes and Scrolls, Conjuration Vendor

Percival Rackham – Hufflepuff
Charles Rookwood -Slytherin
Niamh Fitzgerald – Ravenclaw
San Bakar – Slytherin
Isidora Morgfanach – Ravenclaw (Not actually a Keeper, but appears in their memories)
