When all of your powerful spells are on a cooldown in Hogwarts Legacy, there are no better items to use in battle than potions. For one, these can provide additional health in tight situations, but some can even temporarily boost your player’s stats and reduce spell cooldowns. However, potions are not always easily accessible, as you will likely find yourself having to craft them with their ingredients. Here is every unlockable potion and what you need to make them in Hogwarts Legacy.
Hogwarts Legacy potion crafting guide | Ingredients and how to craft
Firstly, potions cannot be made until you have attended your first Potions Class at Hogwarts and unlocked the ability to use Potions Stations. You will then be able to craft Edurus and Wiggenweld Potions with their respective ingredients. Additionally, there are five other different types of potions that can be brewed, but their recipes must first be bought from J. Pippin’s Potions store in Hogsmeade. You can find every potion, their use, and each ingredient needed to make them below.

If you are lucky, you can also discover these potions pre-made inside of chests lying all around the world — but this does not happen often. Instead, you can expect to wander open areas for a potion’s ingredients, while some resources, such as Dittany Leaves, can only be grown after attending classes like Herbology.
