At the beginning of your first year at Hogwarts Legacy, you will be questioned by the Sorting Hat in a formal ceremony. Based on your answers, he will choose a house for you. But don’t worry: the hat only makes a recommendation and doesn’t force you to join a specific house. You always have the last word in the choice and can change. Only if you want to have an exclusive mask and cloak of a certain house should you stick to a few requirements that we will tell you in the next paragraph.
