ManyHogwarts Legacyplayers may be sticking with the more popular houses like Gryffindor and Slytherin, but there is one really good reason to select Hufflepuff: a trip to Azkaban. Shortly after the introductory cut-scene and tutorials,Hogwarts Legacyplayers are sorted into their house and can begin their adventure at Hogwarts castle proper. For the most part, players will have the same experience inHogwarts Legacyregardless of which house they select, but there are some key differences.

IfHogwarts Legacyplayers select Hufflepuff as their Hogwarts house, they will get a quest that has them traveling to the infamous magical prison Azkaban with Helen Thistlewood. The trip to Azkaban is a short one, but it gives players the opportunity to seedementors and the Patronus charmin action. Dementors and the Patronus charm are not inHogwarts Legacyotherwise, which makes this particular Hufflepuff-exclusive quest that much more special.
While the Hufflepuff exclusive quest seems to be the most popular, the quests in the other Houses are interesting as well. For example, the Gryffindor version of the quest has players interacting with the fan favorite ghostNearly-Headless Nickand meeting the Headless Hunt. This scene is seemingly a throwback to a moment fromHarry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stonethat didn’t make it to the film adaptation, so it may be especially interesting for hardcoreHarry Potterfans.
