In Hogwarts, your first day mostly consists of eating during the feast and getting sorted into your house.
The sorting happens to First Years who are just starting Hogwarts. It is uncommon to have anyone who is not a First Year get sorted into Hogwarts, but it does happen. In Hogwarts Legacy, we take control of someone who is starting Hogwarts in their Fifth Year.
In this guide, we will show you the questions the Sorting Hat will ask you on the Pottermore website.
Sorting Hat Quiz Answers Guide – Hogwarts Legacy
You can be sorted into a house when playing the game. But, did you know that if you connect your WB account to your Pottermore account, the game will read your house test and implement it into the game? It’s pretty cool.
