Hogwarts Legacy: How to change appearance

At the start of Hogwarts Legacy, players are greeted with a comprehensive character creator to design their ideal witch or wizard. Yet, the question arises: can you change your character’s appearance during the game?

Harry Potter enthusiasts have longed to experience life at Hogwarts, and the game’s rich character customization feature brings this fantasy to life.

At the start of the game, players can adjust cosmetic features like face shape, voice, hairstyles, and much more. While the options aren’t limitless, the game offers plenty of choices to make a witch or wizard fans will be happy with.

However, some may want to go back and change up their character well into their adventure. Thankfully, Hogwarts Legacy allows players to change their appearance at any time. Here’s everything Hogwarts students need to know about changing their appearance.

Changing appearance in Hogwarts Legacy

Changing one’s appearance in Hogwarts Legacy is fairly straightforward but requires just a bit of in-game cash to achieve.

Players can find barbershops or beauticians in the various major towns around the game’s open world. The earliest example of this is in Hogsmeade, which players will first visit with either Sebastian Sallow or Natsai Onai during the main story.

Players who want to change their appearance can go to Madam Snelling’s Tress Emporium in Hogsmeade and speak with the shop’s owner, Calliope Snelling.

Here witches and wizards can change their hair color, hairstyle, complexion, eye color, and eyebrow shape for 20 Galleons. In towns outside of Hogsmeade, simply check the map screen and look for a shop icon with a pair of scissors on it. That shop will also allow players to change their appearance.

What can’t you change again in Hogwarts Legacy?

It is important to note that there are character traits players can’t change after starting the game. You will be unable to change your voice tone, pitch, face shape, skin color, and dormitory assignment. This means that some aspects of the character appearance in Hogwarts Legacy cannot be changed post initial character creation.

It’s also worth mentioning that despite the controversy surrounding Hogwarts Legacy involving J.K. Rowling’s comments about the trans community, Avalanche Software has given fans plenty of gender-neutral options to utilize when creating a character.

So to sum things up, if you simply want to try out a new hairstyle or add freckles to your student, you can do so at any time. However, more permanent aspects of a character must be finalized during the initial character creation screen.
