All Hogwarts Legacy wand handles and how to obtain them

The latest magical adventure from Avalanche and Portkey Games, Hogwarts Legacy, takes players on a spectacular journey as they “live the unwritten” and forge their own destiny in the Wizarding World based on Harry Potter.

A staple of the franchise is the use of wands to cast spells, which quite naturally makes an appearance in the game as well. Players start with a second-hand wand but soon obtain a brand-new from Ollivander’s in Hogsmeade, which can be further customized to their liking.

This article will focus on one such aspect of wand customization - the wand handles.

Note: Minor spoilers for Hogwarts Legacy will follow. Discretion is advised.
