Hogwarts Legacy – Can You Link Your Patronus to the Game?

A quiz provided by the Harry Potter Fan Club can be used to determine your spirit animal of sorts, but can your Patronus be transferred into the world of Hogwarts Legacy?
Some players may be wondering if they can link up their official Patronus as they finally get to play Hogwarts Legacy.
After all, these spiritual protectors are extremely helpful in fending off Dementors, which, according to some previous promotional material, should be in the game.
Undoubtedly, having your own unique Patronus fighting by your side would be beneficial as well as really endearing and immersive in the story.
After all, by linking other personality tests, the Harry Potter Fan Club website can make players’ much anticipated wizarding experience more authentic.
As you are probably aware, you can take tests to find out your House, the makeup of your wand, and even your unique Patronus.
It would be fascinating to see how each Patronus translates in-game given how varied they are.
Sadly, however, Hogwarts Legacy cannot be connected to your Harry Potter Fan Club account Patronus.
There are 142 different Patronus options, which could be why this is the case, though the exact reason is unknown.
It might be challenging to incorporate such a huge variety of creatures into the game, similar to becoming an Animagus in the game, the possibilities being endless.
This is not to say that players won’t be able to use the Patronus spell, but it’s unlikely that they will have the option of selecting a specific animal to represent it.
Instead, if you do get to learn Expecto Patronum at any point, it would make more sense for the spell to simply manifest in a non-corporeal form.
After all, while a bit disappointing, at least this is still true to canon so most fans will most likely not complain too much about the lack of corporeal Patronuses.
So what does linking your Fan Club account to Hogwarts Legacy actually does?
As mentioned before, while a corporeal Patronus is out of the question, there are still some perks you can enjoy by linking the account to the game.
While in-game, students can select their House as well as their wand, but if they want to further immerse themselves into the Wizarding World, they can use the results of their Fan Club quizzes.
They’ll even get to earn premium cosmetics for their character in the process.
For example, gamers can start off their fifth year at Hogwarts in style with a Beaked Skull Mask and a House Fanatic Robe, and as they advance through the story, new items for their Fan Club Wizarding Portrait will also become available.
Although it may be unfortunate, it makes perfect sense given everything that is known about Hogwarts Legacy.
Including 142 animals for the sole purpose of just one spell may have been an unrealistic expectation from the development of this already vast open-world game, which is full of complex, compelling characters, challenging quests, and gorgeous locations to discover.
