Hogwarts Legacy stands as a remarkably immersive Harry Potter adventure but can you romance characters in Avalanche’s Wizarding World? Find out everything about in-game relationships right here.

As the game sees you start your journey in the fifth year of Hogwarts education, one of the most critical years as students prepare for their Ordinary Wizarding Levels (OWLs), it’s also a significant time for young adults in other ways.

Namely, it’s a time when relationships really start being formed, with couples from the series growing ever closer around this time of their education. While Ron and Hermione strengthened their bond, and Harry and Ginny both started exploring their love lives before finding each other, can you do the same in Hogwarts Legacy?

Can you romance characters in Hogwarts Legacy?

The simple answer is that no, Hogwarts Legacy does not have any romance options for players.

Your player won’t find themselves a partner as you traverse Hogwarts and its surrounding areas, with relationships across the board kept strictly friendly.

This was confirmed by developers Moira Squier and Kelly Murphy with German news site GamePro. They said that including romance would be “difficult to manage” as the main character is 15 and, of course, age ranges at Hogwarts go from 11-18.

That’s not to say it will never exist, however. One Harry Potter game that included romance options was Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery, available once students reached Year 5 Chapter 3.

So after all the praises the game received, if a Hogwarts Legacy 2 ever happens, the feature could be included.
