Hogwarts Legacy unforgivable curses

There are three Hogwarts Legacy unforgivable curses (and often in Harry Potter lore) that you can use:

• Avada Kedavra / Curse to kill – Causes the target to die instantly.
• Crucio / Cruciatus or the curse of torture – It causes severe pain in the person who is applied on it.
• Imperio / Imperius Curse – Puts the target completely under the control of the user.

These curses cannot be learned in school, so the player must first find them and choose to learn them. While there seems to be no moral system to directly punish players for using them, the characters in the game will react to you when you use them and their use can affect the quest and activities. Technically, using any of these even once should send you to Azkaban (wizard prison) for life, according to Potter knowledge.

Hogwarts Legacy spell colors and types

There are four spell colors in Hogwarts Legacy that denote different types of spells:

• yellow spells Control spells like Levioso
• purple spells Power spells like Accio
• red spells Damage spells like Confringo
• gray spells are ‘essential’ spells or non-optional spells you need to progress through

The main benefit of these spell colors in Hogwarts Legacy comes when fighting other wizards or witches – shields of a certain color can only be broken by a spell of the same color.
