The release of Hogwarts Legacy is not far away, and there is still no official information about whether you can customize your wand. However, now that the first players have access to the game, it’s clear; you can!
Here’s what’s going on: the Harry Potter RPG Hogwarts Legacy, set in the 18th century, officially releases on February 10 and 72 hours early for Deluxe Edition owners. However, a lucky few may already be able to play now, having received the game from the retailer much earlier than usual.
Until now, it was unknown whether you will be able to choose your wand when creating your character. The developers didn’t want to say anything about that until now, even though it’s a big wish of the community. However, players have now discovered that this is possible, but not at all times.

Wands can be Customized in Hogwarts Legacy
You can create your own character at the beginning of your adventure at Hogwarts and dress them differently throughout the game. You can also customize your broom, which you’ll receive later. The only thing that hasn’t been revealed yet is the wand. However, you can also customize it and choose the following things:
- Wood type
- Core
- Length of the wand
- Flexibility
However, you should remember that this is purely a fan service; only a bit of the appearance will be changed, and you won’t get any advantages from it. But be careful because you can only customize it once.
For example, players say that you can’t customize your wand once you’ve been to the ceremony and have been assigned to a house. This is because, as we all know, the wand chooses its wizard beforehand, not after the ceremony.
Whether you can unlock skins for the wand during the game or it will be possible later with DLCs is not yet known. So choose the shape of your wand wisely, and don’t regret it later.

This article is incorrect in so many ways… For one, you don’t choose your wand until after the sorting ceremony, during a trip to hogsmeade. Also, while you can’t change the wood type, length, and design of your wand after finalizing your choice, you regularly get new wand handles that you can swap between as much as you want, allowing you to switch it up any time you want to… The author of this article shouldn’t be writing it based on what they’ve heard from players. If they haven’t played the game themselves, they can’t guarantee the accuracy of the info contained within it.
I play the game, and you’re right. But you read news based on the information available long before release. The details changed; you should read our wand guides and not old news articles.
