All Control Spells in Hogwarts Legacy and how to unlock them

From slowing down with Arresto Momentum and levitating using Levioso to changing forms using Transformation, Hogwarts Legacy offers a diverse collection of Control Spells to use during combat. While the spells themselves do not deal damage, they can catch enemies off-guard, allowing players to dish out subsequent attacks.

Hogwarts Legacy put players in the role of a new fifth-year student, starting their journey in the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry during the late 1800s. Set in the backdrop of the Goblin Revolution, players can live out their dream Hogwarts life, from joining one of the four houses to attending classes, learning magic, and exploring the vast castle.
