Dreaming of stepping into the emerald glow and polished stone halls of Slytherin? Known for ambition, cunning, and resourcefulness, Slytherin is one of the most popular houses in Hogwarts Legacy.

1. The Definitive Method: Override the Sorting Hat’s Choice

This is the quickest and most reliable way to guarantee a Slytherin sorting—no luck required.

Step-by-Step: The Sorting Ceremony

You’ll reach the Sorting Ceremony early in the main story, right after finishing the introduction with Professor Fig.

Wear the Hat

The Sorting Hat is placed on your head as the ceremony begins.

Answer the First Question

The Hat asks a personality-based question that shapes its suggestion, not your final outcome.

Choose the Slytherin-Style Reply

When the Hat asks:

  • “When I explore the secrets of this castle, I want to be known for…”

Select an answer tied to Slytherin traits—usually “Ambition”, or a similar choice like “Determined” or “Seeking Glory.”

Use the Override (The Final Choice)

No matter what the Hat recommends—even if you took the pre-game quiz—you’ll get two options:

  • Accept Suggested House
  • Choose a Different House

Pick “Choose a Different House”, then select Slytherin.

This instantly places you where you want to be, even if the Hat had other ideas.

2. The Immersion Method: Link Your Wizarding World Account

Perfect for players who already know they’re a Slytherin at heart and want the sorting to feel seamless and lore-friendly.
