70 free Hogwarts Legacy trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Hogwarts Legacy put players in a fifth-year's robes a century before Harry Potter, and these 61 Hogwarts Legacy trivia questions cover the whole of it: the goblin rebellion and Ranrok's alliance with Victor Rookwood, the four Keepers and their Pensieve trials, Isidora Morganach's repository, and the companion questlines of Natsai, Poppy, Sebastian and Ominis. There are questions on the castle itself too, from the Room of Requirement and its vivariums to the Wizard's Field Guide and the spell that scans for secrets. Alongside the story there is a round on the game outside the game: the studio behind it, its budget, the record-setting Twitch launch, first-fortnight sales, the Switch port, the arachnophobia mode and the mod support that arrived in 2025. Easy questions suit anyone who finished the main quest; the harder ones are for players who read every collectible page and follow the news. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia or the Harry Potter Wiki, and each question shows its source once you have answered, so a Discord argument can be settled on the spot.
