Hogwarts Legacy players can use the character creator at the beginning of the story to design their ideal witch or wizard. But, to make adjustments mid-journey, you must learn how to change your appearance in the game.

At the start of Hogwarts Legacy, players can adjust cosmetic features like face shape, voice, hairstyles, and much more. While the options aren’t limitless, the game offers enough choices to make fans of the Wizarding World happy.

However, some may want to go back and change up their character well into their adventure. Thankfully, the game allows players to change their appearance at any time. So, here’s everything Hogwarts students need to know to adjust their looks.

Changing appearance in Hogwarts Legacy

Hogwarts Legacy players can adjust their appearance using the barbershops or beauticians that can be found in several major towns around the game’s open world. The process is fairly straightforward but does require in-game cash.

The earliest example is Madam Snelling’s Tress Emporium in Hogsmeade, a business the players will first visit with either Sebastian Sallow or Natsai Onai as the main story develops.

Here all you have to do is talk to the owner, Calliope Snelling, to open the interactive menu that will allow you to change your hair color, hairstyle, complexion, freckles, moles, scars or markings, eye color, and eyebrow shape for only 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 about your appearance?

You will be unable to change your voice tone, pitch, face shape, skin color, and dormitory assignment. This means that some important aspects of the character’s appearance in Hogwarts Legacy cannot be changed post-initial character creation, so choose wisely.

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.

That’s everything fans need to know about changing your appearance in Hogwarts Legacy. Be sure to check out our other guides to make money fastlearn Unforgivable Curses, and get through all the Merlin Trials.
