To do this, you do not need to buy an expanded edition or DLC – just register on the official sites associated with Hogwarts Legacy and link your accounts to your account on Steam, PSN or Xbox Live. In this guide we show you how to do this.

How to get unique rewards in Hogwarts Legacy
You need to go to three pages directly related to the game. Please note that they are all in English. The first step is to go through the registration process. The algorithm is the following:
- Go to the official Hogwarts Legacy website.
- Find the line in the top right corner “Unlock Exclusive Rewards”.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the button “Connect Now” (Connect Now).
- The Wizarding World fan site opens. Select an item “Login” in the upper right corner.
- Register or log in to an existing profile. If you don’t have an account yet, enter your email address and create a password.
- You will then be taken to your personal profile.
Here you will be asked to run a series of tests. Thanks to them, you decide on the faculty, patronus and wand. You also have to answer questions. There are no right options here – it all depends on your choice. You cannot skip this stage – without it you will not receive any in-game rewards.
Linking Warner Bros. accounts with PlayStation Network, Xbox Live and Steam profiles
- Return to the Hogwarts Legacy page and open the menu again “Unlock Exclusive Rewards” (Unlock Exclusive Rewards).
- Find the checkboxes next to the rules “Login”, “getting sorted” (getting sorted) And “Open your wand” (Discover your wand). Note that the line Link accounts should be highlighted in white (inactive) at this stage.
- Important point: If you are in Russia, be sure to turn on the VPN. Without this action you will simply not get any further. We’ve talked about the best of such programs in a separate guide.
- Below you will see a button “Go to WB Games website” (Go to WB Games). Click here.
- Here you need to create another account.
- After that, you will be asked to connect different accounts. Choose the one you want to play. Sign in to Steam, PSN or Xbox Live to verify. Multiple platforms can be connected if desired, including the Nintendo Switch, which will release Hogwarts Legacy on July 25.
- Important point: Open the “Account information” item. Click the “Verify Email Address” button, then open a new email from Warner Bros. and follow the link.
- Check the last item in the list of accounts. If you did everything right, across the line Harry Potter fan club must be written “Connected”. If for some reason you see the inscription “Connect”click on it and link the accounts.
- Return to this page. Opposite the line Link accounts must be checked.
This should be enough to give you extra in-game items when you first start Hogwarts Legacy.
Remark: If you’re playing on a PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5, you’ll need to connect your console to the internet via a VPN to link the two accounts. Below we describe how to do this.
What rewards can I get for linking accounts and completing challenges
As a reward you get:
- school dress;
- Mask with beaked skull.
And the choice of house and wand you make on the Wizarding World website is reflected in the game itself.
How to Connect PS4 and PS5 to the Internet via VPN
There are several ways to connect a Sony console to a VPN.
Connect via PC or laptop
You need a PC with installed VPN and LAN cable. Use our guide:
- Open on your computer “Control panel”. To do this, click on the menu “Get started”Select an item “Utilities – Windows”and then – “Control panel”.
- Open the window “Net”Than – “Network Center”.
- Click on the active connection and click “Characteristics”.
- Go to tab “Access” and check the box next to it “Allow other network users to connect through the Internet connection on this computer”. Save your changes.
- Launch the console. Go to network settings, select item “Establish Internet Connection”go to the bottom of the list and click on the line “Set Manually”. Then choose an option “Use LAN cable” and refuse to use a proxy server.
- Connect PC and PlayStation with network cable.
Connect using Smart DNS
This option is worth using if you already use a VPN with Smart DNS technology. As a rule, these renewals are paid, but they have a three-day trial period. If you want to use this option, the algorithm is as follows:
- Turn on your PlayStation console. Open the menu “Net”and then – “Check connection status”. You need to find your IP address, which is opposite the line IPv4. It’s a ten digit number. Write it down.
- Open the Smart DNS management menu on your VPN website. Find an article “Activate IP address”. Enter the current address of your PlayStation console. You get two numbers: Primary and Secondary DNS. Write it down.
- Open the network settings on your PlayStation console again. Select an item “Establish Internet Connection”. Press the button “Set Manually”and then – “Using Wi-Fi”. Open the menu “To enter manually” and click the button “DNS Settings”. Here you need to enter the primary and secondary DNS, which we described above.
Connect using the router’s capabilities
Today, many routers support VPN installation. This option is more complex and meticulous than the options described above. Specific instructions can be found on your router manufacturer’s website.
