Like the adventures of the Harry Potter franchise, you must acquire a wand at the famous Ollivanders shop to maximize your abilities as a witch or wizard. However, since there are so many variations of this tool, it may be challenging to grasp this complex mechanic fully.

Wand Core Options
While the other wand customization selections are primarily for looks, the Wand Cores are one of the most crucial aspects since it determines your tool’s performance. There are three materials players can choose from:
- Dragon Heartstring
- Unicorn Hair
- Phoenix Feather
The Dragon Heartstring is excellent for witches and wizards who value power, and Unicorn Hair focuses on consistency with magical spells. Finally, Phoenix Feather covers a wide range of abilities for those who want to try different aspects.
Besides the wand design system in Hogwarts Legacy, you can acquire a tool, like the Elder Wand, from Wizarding World and link your accounts to claim it.
