9 Hogwarts Legacy Spells We Want In A Sequel

Aguamenti – Water Spell

Aguamenti is a Harry Potter charm that makes water appear. It could be used as a different type of elemental power in a sequel, either to solve puzzles or fight enemies. It could be used to fill a cup in a magical puzzle like Indiana Jones or as Professor Dumbledore does in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince when he drinks the potion of despair.

In battle, Aguamenti could hit an opponent with a wave or tornado of water. This was the opposite of fire spells like Incendio and NPC fire tornado spells in Hogwarts Legacy. It could be used to take care of plants in the Room of Need or to power magical watering cans.

Aparacium – A Spell To Reveal Secret Messages

Many Hogwarts Legacy players like to press the Revelio button over and over to find collectibles like boxes and hints about what to do next. The Aparacium spell reveals hidden words, so it could give players more ways to find secrets in the world.

Players could use Aparacium to find hidden messages on magical parchments like the famed Maurauder’s Map or even on writing on walls. Students probably still do things like write secret messages at a magical school, which could be a fun way to find hidden and mysterious information in the game world.

Reducto – A Spell For Mass Destruction

Even the simplest spell in Hogwarts Legacy can break things like vases, so a spell like Reducto that breaks things into pieces isn’t exactly new. It’s likely one of the reasons why non-player characters (NPCs) in the game can use it but players can’t. Reducto, on the other hand, might be one of the most powerful spells in Hogwarts Legacy.

In a sequel, Reducto could cause a bigger wave of damage or be used on bigger things than just pots and boxes, like Ginny does in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix when she uses it in the Department of Mysteries.

Glisseo – A Staircase Slide Spell

The fast travel floo-flames in Hogwarts Legacy can be used to get around Hogwarts Castle. But the Glisseo spell could be a fun and silly way to quickly get around its many staircase areas. It turns stairs into big slides, just like Peeves does when he slides down the bannisters.

Glisseo could also save players from a big fall by giving them a magically soft landing or helping them get away quickly. Even if a spell isn’t strictly required, silly things like trying out the different sweet effects at Honeydukes are often the most interesting things to do.

Tarantallegra – The Dancing Feet Spell

The Tarantallegra spell is a fun way to surprise enemies and show them the fun side of magic. It’s a dancing spell that makes someone dance out of control if it’s cast on their legs. It could be a funny way to distract enemies during battle and give players a small window of time to attack while its effects wear off, like how cursed cannonballs in Sea of Thieves turn players into pirates who tap their toes for a short time.

Dancing ghosts and other references to dancing in Hogsmeade are in Hogwarts Legacy, so this could be a fun trick to play on enemies or other students.

Serpensortia – Snake Casting Spell

Players in Slytherin or who make a dark wizard build could enjoy casting Sepensortia, a spell that Draco Malfoy uses against Harry in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Serpensortia sends a magical, real snake at an opponent. It could be a useful temporary helper in battle and an option to using plants like mandrake as weapons.

Serpensortia could also be like the Slytherin lock puzzles in the creepy tunnels that lead to Salazar Slytherin’s secret Scriptorium in Hogwarts Legacy’s Shadow of the Study quest. If the player doesn’t solve the puzzles quickly enough, they take a small amount of damage.

Riddikulus Spell

The Riddikulus spell in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban looks like the arachnophobia mode in Hogwarts Legacy. It makes the spiders in the game less scary by putting roller skates on their feet, just like when Ron casts Riddikulus in the movie and a spider with skates comes out.

Whether or not you can cast Riddikulus would depend on whether or not Boggarts are in the game. In a Backrooms sequel, though, a similar magic that makes enemies look funny while taking away some of their health would be a fun new way to cast spells.

Confundo – The Confusion Spell

Confundo, a spell that makes people confused, is another way to stop an enemy in battle. Confundo, which makes enemies confused, is another magic that could be used to stop enemies in their tracks during battle. It could briefly confuse enemies so that they attack each other instead of the player. This would cause chaos on the wizarding battlefield and be a fun way to get the upper hand without using dark curses like Imperio.

Confundo, which is also called the Confundus Charm, could be combined with stealth mechanics to help players fool or sneak past foes without using invisibility or Petrificus Totalus.

Expecto Patronum (Patronus Charm)

For a second Hogwarts Legacy book, the Patronus charm might be the most wanted power of all. A Harry Potter Patronus charm could be a great way for players to summon an animal Patronus of their choice, like a stag or a bunny. In a possible Hogwarts Legacy sequel, players might also be able to link their Patronus to their Wizarding World account as another way to make their characters more realistic.

But being able to cast Expecto Patronum would mean that Dementors should be NPC enemies in, say, a long Azkaban task.

Hogwarts Legacy is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. On November 14, a version for Switch will come out.
