10 More Hair Colors

More Than The Basic Colors

Deathlysallows' More Hair Colors mod for Hogwarts Legacy is a great addition for players who love customizing their characters. While the base game has a decent variety of hairstyles, the hair color options are limited and mostly for natural hair colors. This mod fixes that by adding 31 new hair colors, giving players more choices to create a unique character. The new colors include subtle variations of existing shades as well as completely new and bright options, allowing for a wider range of expression.

If players are looking for a specific shade of red, a brighter blue, or something more unusual, they’ll be pleased with the new options. The mod fits easily into the game’s hair customization menu, making it very easy to use. Pick the hairstyle and choose from the extended color palette – no complicated steps are involved. This is a valuable and well-made mod that improves the character creation experience in Hogwarts Legacy.

9 Casual NPCs

Stop Dressing So Formally

Casual NPCs is a mod created by Deathlysallows that improves Hogwarts Legacy by adding nine new character outfits inspired by characters from the Harry Potter movies. These outfits aren't just simple changes; they are very detailed and closely match the looks of specific characters. This lets players really get into the game because everyone wearing their robes feels so formal and gets stale over time. The mod also offers festive outfit variations, adding a fun seasonal touch.

It fits well within the game, so it doesn’t interfere with immersion. Players can easily equip these outfits, which adds more options for customization and role-playing compared to what the game originally offered. The mod includes outfits for both male- and female-presenting characters, so every player can enjoy it, no matter their character's gender. The wide range of clothing options, from casual to formal, makes Casual NPCs a great addition that builds on the game's visual variety.

8 Staves For Wands

Feel More Like A Regular Mage

The Staves for Wands mod, made by ifinitumentllc, adds new options for wands in Hogwarts Legacy. Instead of just the usual wand choices, this mod features a variety of unique and visually appealing staves. These wands not only look great, but they also have great animation. For example, when using the Lumos charm, the light shines along several points on the staff, having a much more magical effect than the standard wand.

In addition to its visuals, the mod includes interactive features. By holding the shift key and pressing page down on PC, players can easily switch between different versions of the staff. This allows for a personal touch and makes it easy to change staves to match different outfits or moods. This straightforward system, along with the beautiful designs, improves the overall magic experience in the game. The detailed spell animations and -friendly switching make the Staves for Wands mod essential for anyone who wants to feel more like a mage than a wizard.

7 Dragonriding

No More Brooms, Just Dragons

Ifinitumentllc's Dragonriding mod for Hogwarts Legacy is an exciting addition for players who have always wanted to ride dragons. The mod adds three amazing dragons, the Hebridean Black, the Common Welsh Green, and the Hungarian Horntail, which take the place of brooms in the game. This isn't just a simple skin change; the dragons have detailed animations, with realistic wing flapping and gliding that change based on how fast players are going. Unfortunately, the large size makes it harder to take screenshots, and the player character disappears because of the dragons' size.

It doesn't always look good while riding, but modding is more than a niche hobby now, so someone may make improvements soon.

Flying the dragons feels like using a broom, making it easy to use, but doesn't take away from the riding experience. They have small animations, like wing adjustments during speed boosts, that make flying feel more real. The mod cleverly uses the existing broom system to include the dragons as mounts while keeping everything else in the game intact. Exploring the Wizarding World while riding a dragon is pretty cool and even more magical.

6 Cliffans Outfits & Accessories

Way More Customization & Fashion

Cliffan_'s Clffians Outfits & Accessories mod for Hogwarts Legacy is a great choice for players who love fashion. This mod adds a lot of new clothing and accessories that players can't find in the original game. Instead of just using the in-game shops, players now have access to a variety of stylish robes, unique outfits, and many accessories like bags, necklaces, and rings. The details of the items are really impressive, especially things like capes that move realistically as the character walks.

The addition of jewelry, especially rings, lets players customize their characters in new ways. While some items require players to wait for restocks from August Hill, it’s definitely worth the wait. Overall, the mod offers more than just cosmetic changes; it gives players a more personal experience. Players can create a unique look that matches their style as a Hogwarts student. The added clothing options improve how characters look, making Clffians Outfits & Accessories essential for anyone wanting more from fashion in Hogwarts Legacy.

5 Default Wand Shop

This Should Be In The Game In Some Way

MoxxyHaven's Default Wand Shop mod is a great improvement for Hogwarts Legacy, fixing a common issue players have. In the original game, players can only customize their wand at the start, meaning they’re stuck with that choice even if it doesn't match their character’s style later on. This mod makes it easier to change that. It adds a shopping feature in the settings menu, letting players customize their wand’s appearance anytime during the game.

Players can adjust the length, wood type, core, and style, giving them more personalization than the original game offered. This flexibility helps players create a look that fits their character better, making the game more visually appealing. Instead of being stuck with one choice, players can try different options, allowing their wand to match their evolving character or interest in wand design.

4 No Spell Cooldowns

No More Waiting To Cast Another Spell

The mod No Spell Cooldowns, made by SGOLDWB, changes the way combat works in Hogwarts Legacy by removing the waiting time between spells. This isn't just a simple cheat; it completely changes how they fight and explore in the game. Without cooldowns, players can cast spells nonstop, meaning exciting combinations of attacks like Incendio, Confringo, and Expelliarmus can be used repeatedly.

This faster-paced combat makes battles feel intense and action-packed, shifting the focus from carefully choosing spells to mastering how to use them quickly and effectively. Players now have to pay attention to managing their mana and using potions wisely. This mod adds a new level of energy to the game, making it more fast-paced, and players will notice how much faster fights can be completed.

3 Dekita Battle Pets

Somehow Hasn't Been Taken Down By Nintendo

Dekita Battle Pets, made by DekitaRPG, is a fun mod for Hogwarts Legacy that adds a new aspect to the game. Instead of exploring the Wizarding World alone, players can now have a variety of customizable pet companions that each have their own special abilities and personalities. There are all kinds of pets available, from the well-known Mrs. Norris to the surprising addition of Voldemort (as a rat!). The mix includes magical and non-magical creatures, adding a playful twist to the game.

These pets do more than just look cute; they in during battles. Players can train their pets and give them different spells and abilities, ranging from simple attacks like Bombarda to stronger offensive and defensive moves. It's a lot of fun to see leveled-up pets use powerful spells like Dragon Bolt or Aquamenti against enemies. It also has an experience system that keeps players engaged, allowing them to level up their pets and learn new skills, which makes them more effective in fights. It's like Pokémon in Harry Potter.

2 Dungeon Of Doom

A Huge Addition To The Game

Dungeon of Doom, made by ifinitumentllc, is an outstanding mod for Hogwarts Legacy because it offers a fresh and exciting gameplay experience. Instead of just adding cosmetic changes or cheats, this mod creates a whole new dungeon filled with unique challenges, secrets, and engaging combat. The dungeon is well-designed and feels like a true part of the game, not just a quick add-on. Players will navigate a detailed, atmospheric dungeon that features tricky puzzles and unexpected dangers.

The combat in the Dungeon of Doom is exciting and varied. The mod adds new types of enemies with different attack styles, requiring players to adapt to brand-new dangers.

1 Cheatplus

All The Cheats You Want

MoxxyHaven's Cheatplus mod for Hogwarts Legacy is a great tool for players who want a more customized gaming experience. It’s a bunch of cheats, but it’s a full toolkit that makes the game easier and more fun. For example, players can instantly go to any shop in the game, which saves them from having to travel and helps players upgrade their gear or buy spells far away. There's also a way to add or remove money, which lets players focus on exploring and fighting instead of grinding for gold.

Players can also identify all new gear right away, saving time that would be spent searching in the Room of Requirement. The invincibility option lets players experiment and explore without the risk of dying. This is a mod that always comes up when modding is added to PC games, and helps make Hogwarts Legacy feel brand new and worth coming back to.
