In Hogwarts Legacy, the golden Snitch appears as a spectator item. However, it cannot be obtained as an item, and there is no information about its appearance or system, making it a complete hobby element for fans.
Is Chess Available?
Used for Puzzles
Chess elements are prepared for puzzles. The chess puzzle involves using Transformation on highlighted objects revealed by Revelio to create pieces, and then using Accio to move them and achieve Checkmate.
Can I Go to Azkaban?
Only Hufflepuff Students Can Go in the Story
Azkaban is a special area that can be accessed in the main quest "Prisoner of Love". "Prisoner of Love" is a quest exclusive to Hufflepuff, and if you belong to another house, a different quest will occur. So if you want to visit Azkaban, choose Hufflepuff during the sorting.
After Completing the Quest Azkaban Will be Locked
Azkaban is an area that can only be accessed during the "Prisoner of Love" quest by using the Apparition spell with Helen Thistlewood. After the event ends, there is no way to go to Azkaban, so if you want to enjoy the scenery of Azkaban multiple times, make sure to save your game before talking to Helen.
