Hogwarts Legacy account link rewards: a step

Connect your accounts for a more personal experience — and bonus rewards
It's worth linking your Harry Potter Fan Club and WB Games accounts for a more personalized Hogwarts Legacy experience.
This involves a couple of quizzes to find which Hogwarts house you belong to and the right wand for you. Though you can do this in the game, connecting your accounts ahead of time means you can get the ball rolling now.
After your accounts are linked, you’ll be sorted into your house and you’ll bring your wand into the game — and receive bonus rewards.
To verify that you’ve connected your accounts, open the Settings menu in the main menu and switch to the last tab, User Interface Options. Select the "WB Games Account" button for a pop-up to appear saying you’ve successfully linked your accounts. If a pop-up with a code appears on your screen, you’ll have to redo the linking process.
As well as the ability to select your wand and house early, you’ll also receive the following in-game bonuses for linking your accounts:
After receiving your field guide, you’ll be able to change the appearance of your clothes in the Gear section. Hover over either the Facewear or Cloaks and Robes section, and press the "Change Appearance" button.
From there, a new menu will open, showing you all of the possible cosmetic options you can use.
On numerous occasions in recent years, billionaire and Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling has taken public stances against inclusive transgender laws and trans rights, and has written fiction that has been condemned by LGBTQ+ organizations for its use of harmful anti-trans tropes. Hate crimes, as well as legislation that denies the rights of trans people, have become more prevalent in the U.K. since 2019, and, more recently, in the United States as well.
According to an FAQ from Hogwarts Legacy publisher Warner Bros. Interactive — the parent company of Avalanche Software, the game's developer — Rowling is "not directly involved" with the creation of Hogwarts Legacy. Regardless, the sales and widespread attention generated by a AAA video game will benefit Rowling, and that has led some fans to decide not to buy the game. For a more in-depth explainer of the yearslong controversy leading up to Hogwarts Legacy's release, read Polygon's breakdown.
