HOGWARTS Legacy releases tomorrow (February 7) for those who pre-ordered the game, and one of the first things you’re asked to do is link accounts.
When you launch the game for the first time, it will prompt you to link your Wizarding World or Harry Potter Fan Club account to your WB Games account.

Doing so will unlock a number of cosmetic items that you can pick up early on in the game to dress up your witch or wizard.
Here’s how you can link your accounts in Hogwarts Legacy and pick up your rewards.
Hogwarts Legacy: How to link your Wizarding World account
If you don’t already have a Wizarding World account, it is easy enough to create one. All you need is a valid email address.
Once you have your account ready, you will need to go through the sorting process on the website, and pick up your wand.
These are very quick quizzes to determine what house and wand most suit you, and shouldn’t take too long.
From here, click onto the Legacy Connect page, which will ask you to sign into your WB Games account.
Again if you don’t have one it’s easy to set up and can be done through this page.
Once you’ve logged into Legacy Connect, Hogwarts Legacy should acknowledge that your accounts are linked when you first play.

Hogwarts Legacy: What are the rewards for linking accounts?
If you have linked your accounts, there are two cosmetic rewards for doing so.
The first is the Beaked Skull Mask, and the second is the House Fanatic School Robe.
The design of the robe is based on which house you are sorted into in Hogwarts Legacy.
You can collect these items shortly after the in-game sorting ceremony once you receive the Field Guide.
To wear the new cosmetics, you’ll need to change your gear’s appearance from the menu.
If you want to catch up on the controversies surrounding the game and book author J.K. Rowling, you can read our explainer at that link.
