Are Unforgivable curses in Hogwarts Legacy?

We can confirm that all three Unforgivable Curses from the Harry Potter series are in Hogwarts Legacy. These are not traditional spells you can learn in the classroom. Instead, they appear in unique storylines involving Sebastian, who is attempting to learn more about the Dark Arts to save his sister. It leads him through a dark story in Hogwarts, and he’ll try his best to grapple with these powers he’s attempting to control.

Although your character goes through these stories, they do not have the obligation to learn these Unforgivable Curses. The spells are optional, and if your character chooses not to learn them, they do not gain access to them in Hogwarts Legacy. We can say that learning these spells does not have a negative impact on you, and if you use them on enemies or in the presence of other characters, there are no adverse effects. These are more spells to add to your arsenal, and you should not feel restricted whenever you use them.

The Unforgivable Curses can be an interesting way to make your gameplay in Hogwarts Legacy much more deadly. These are powerful spells with a longer cooldown timer than the others in your arsenal, so don’t expect to use them all the time. Instead, they’re a helpful backup choice you can have at the ready to unleash against more dangerous foes.
