In Hogwarts Legacy, just like in the Harry Potter franchise, the good and the evil are two opposing, yet instrumental, forces that move the world from a state of harmony to a state of utter chaos. Although the line between the good and the evil in Hogwarts Legacy is slightly blurred with you being able to become a dark wizard, there are still universal villains in this universe that will try to harm you, no matter which side you choose. Unsurprisingly, one of those villains are obviously the Dementors.
The Dementors are dark creatures normally tasked with guarding Azkaban, home to the most dangerous criminals like Bellatrix Lestrange. From time to time, they roam freely the magical lands, feeding off happy memories until every bit of hope and peace abandons you. In the words of Harry’s favorite teacher, Remus Lupin: “Dementors are among the foulest creatures that walk this earth. They infest the darkest, filthiest places, they glory in decay and despair, they drain peace, hope, and happiness out of the air around them… Get too near a Dementor and every good feeling, every happy memory will be sucked out of you. If it can, the Dementor will feed on you long enough to reduce you to something like itself… soulless and evil.”
To fend off Dementors and send them back where they came from, you’ll need to use the Patronus charm. Centered around gathering your happiest memories and keeping them vivid in your mind, the Patronus charm summons an animal that represents your personality. In Hogwarts Legacy, you will be able to unlock various Patronus animals, varying in rarity, from common to rare Patronus. Here are all the common, uncommon, are rare Patronuses available in the game.
Common Patronuses in Hogwarts Legacy
At the time of writing this article, it’s still unknown how and when you’ll learn the Patronus charm, but bear in mind this is a highly advanced spell wizards and witches might not even attempt until their seventh year of studying at Hogwarts. The only reason Harry Potter himself knew this spell so early on is because his teacher Remus Lupin taught it to him during Harry’s third year at Hogwarts, as both wizards believed Harry’s life was in danger. As the name suggests, common Patronuses will be easily obtainable, meaning they might be hiding behind easier quests or other simpler actions.
