One more comment because it makes me happy:

Professor Weasley is voiced by the actress who plays Mrs. Patmore on Downton Abbey! 🥰

I really have to get back to the game. I have this thing where I can't finish bigger games in one go, I always take like a 2 year break in between somewhere. I loved that the game lets you be a Slytherin (they just have the best aesthetics)

My mom and I both have the game and were playing it together, but we're in different houses: I'm a Hufflepuff & she's Ravenclaw. We're already planning out our next playthroughs to see the other common rooms & questlines!

Mom has finished the game, I'm currently on hitaus. I took a break while reddit was spamming reddit with spoilers

Editing to add: I'm roleplaying as a member of family Black, effectively the royal family of the Wizarding World. I went into the game blind and did not know the Headmaster is also from family Black. It's hilarious to me when NPCs badmouth Family Black to my character, who is named Arcadia Black.

I am a Hufflepuff. I am not really a gamer but I bought this game. My partner is the gamer. Honestly it's just lovely to explore Hogwarts. At the rate I'm going it could be two years down the road and I still won't be bored with it. We have a PS5.

I started to replay it after completing it as a Ravenclaw; my second run was as a Hufflepuff, or rather, it still is because I haven't finished it yet. The common room is glorious, it feels a bit like a hobbit's home, very earthy, very comfy... and there's food everywhere 😄The Jackdaw quest has a different opening than it had for my Ravenclaw, and in my opinion, it was a lot better for the Hufflepuff. Those are the only real differences, though as a Hufflepuff, I refrained from learning the Unforgivable Curses. A Hufflepuff wouldn't do that. My Ravenclaw did out of sheer curiosity because I figured Ravenclaws wanna know and learn everything 😁 There are two possible outcomes for the Sebastian storyline in the end, as far as I know, but the biggest difference really is in the Jackdaw quest - which is why I'm considering restarting as a Slytherin and then as a Gryffindor simply to see what their quests look like. And because I wanna see the common rooms 😁

I am a completionist- finished it to 100% which means playing at least part of each house. Absolutely obsessed w the game

Each house only has one house-specific quest. It's fairly early, and may be worth replaying to that point if you want to see the others (Imo, Hufflepuff is the only one that would be worth it if you didn't choose that house to begin with). Otherwise, there's no real reason to play again just for a different house. Just enjoy the one you pick without worrying you are missing anything huge!

As a tip, you won't get enough points to unlock every ability in the skill tree. You get most of them, and I forget how many you are short by the end. But just be aware that you'll have to skip a few.

My sister and I are both playing, I'm in Griffindor and she's in Ravenclaw. The common rooms are different but you're hardly ever in there. Characters rarely make little throwaway comments like "oh you're pretty [ x ] for a [ house ]". There's only one quest I know of that was significantly different because it's always related to your own house in some way (for me it involved Nearly Headless Nick and the Headless Hunt, very fun).

I think the most noticeable difference is that the dozens of school outfits/cloaks/robes/capes/scarves you get are in your house colours.

I'm so jealous ! I will be playing it when it comes out on the switch though, so I just need to be a little more patient.

I'm glad to hear you've been healing and can enjoy the freedom that comes with peaking.

Out of curiosity, which house did you choose ?

I've played the full game as Gryffindor and the early game as the other three houses (there's a PS5 trophy for getting to a certain point with each house).

The house quests are pretty short. I thought Hufflepuff was the best one. All the common rooms are interesting and fun to look around, but as someone else mentioned, you're not in them much.

I'd say it's worth playing the early game as each house just to check out the common rooms, but I don't think your house matters much for the bulk of the game.

I envy you! My computer isn't good enough for it, sadly.

Have all the fun!

I really want to pick it up now that it’s released on switch but I can’t decide from the reviews yet if it’s worth the downgrade in graphics compared to PC

Ugh STILL waiting for it to come out on the Switch...

I am glad you're enjoying the game. I love Hogwarts Legacy. 🙂 I'm actually bummed out that I didn't have time to play it tonight lol.
