There are many amazing and magical animals in Harry Potter’s wizarding world, ranging from the massive Hippogriffs to the tiny and fluffy Puffskeins and everything in between. With that stated, gamers will most certainly be intrigued if they may obtain a pet or partner to accompany them on their journeys through Hogwarts Legacy. This guide contains answers and specifics about whether you have pets or familiars in Hogwarts Legacy, however it’s not as simple as you may assume.

Is it possible to have pets or familiars in Hogwarts Legacy?

The answer is a complicated yes/no. You cannot have pets that follow you about or function as a companion during your adventures in Hogwarts Legacy, but you may capture a variety of wizarding world creatures. To mention a few, they include Thestrals, Mooncalfs, Unicorns, Hippogriffs, and Kneazles.

You must satisfy a few prerequisites in order to do so. To begin, you must attend your first Beast lesson and speak with Hufflepuff student Poppy Sweeting. When you engage with her Puffskein, Gerald, you’ll be granted a creature brush and beast feed, both of which are added to your spell inventory.

Following that, you must finish the mission The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and The Loom to obtain the nab-sack, which will allow you to catch animals. Only after finishing the main plot quest “Tomes and Tribulations,” which opens the Room of Requirement, can this task be enabled. To house and keep your critters, you’ll need the Room of Requirement. Once you’ve accomplished this quest and obtained the Beast classes, you’ll be able to capture creatures and care for them in the Room of Requirement’s vivarium, which holds all the monsters you discover. You may then grow, breed, and train them, as well as collect materials from them to improve your equipment and gear.
