What is the best wand in Hogwarts Legacy?
No wand combination is better than any other in Hogwarts Legacy as all of the choices you can choose from are simply cosmetic and don’t have any bearing on how strong the wand is.
However, if for you the “best wand” means a wand that matches one that a witch or wizard from the Harry Potter books has then you will want to build your wand to the same specifications as that character.
Can I change my wand in Hogwart Legacy?
Sort of. The main look and design of your wand will remain the same and cannot be changed after you initially make it. However, you will be able to change the wand handle based on options you unlock during your playthrough.
