With Hogwarts Legacy finally here, now would be a good time to link your Harry Potter Fan Club account to your WB Games Account. By linking both of your accounts, players will unlock exclusive in-game items they can’t get any other way. Don’t worry it’s free to make both of these accounts, and here’s everything you need to know.

How to link both accounts and unlock free Hogwarts Legacy cosmetics

Players must first have a Harry Potter Fan Club and WB Games Account to link both accounts. Once both accounts are made, you’ll have to take the Harry Potter Fan Club test to be assigned a House, Patronus, and a Wand. After you’ve taken the test, go to the main page on the Wizarding World website and scroll down until you see Free Hogwarts Legacy items exclusively for Fan Club Members, and click on Connect Now.

In addition to receiving those items, players will also be automatically imported to the House they were assigned and receive the wand they got from taking the Harry Potter quiz.

Hogwarts Legacy is developed by Avalanche Software, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The game has been embroiled in controversy due to transphobic remarks from Harry Potter author JK Rowling. Although she is not personally involved with its development, she stands to profit from its success. For more, read our in-depth article on how Rowling’s comments have impacted the trans community.
