How To Unlock Potions in Hogwarts Legacy?
To unlock potions in Hogwarts Legacy, you must start the ‘Potions Class’ main quest where you will take your first steps towards learning how to brew the finest concoctions. Upon starting the game, the ‘Potions Class’ quest will not be immediately available. However, if you focus on the main storyline from the get-go, this quest will become available after about 15 to 20 minutes of gameplay.
During the ‘Potions Class’, Professor Sharp will explain everything there is to know about Potions, their ingredients and how to brew them. You will be required to brew your own Wiggenwald potion during the session and once that has been done, Potions will become available within your Tools Wheel.
From here, you will have free reign to brew any potion you like and can start collecting the necessary ingredients required for each one. To collect basic ingredients for brewing potions, you can head on over to J. Pippin’s Potions in Hogsmeade.
However, for the slightly more obscure ingredients, you will need to venture into the forbidden forest (with a few Wiggenwald at hand).
How To Use Potions Simultaneously in Hogwarts Legacy?
Once you have completed the Jackdaw’s Rest main storyline, you will receive a quest from Professor Sharp entitled ‘Professor Sharp’s Assignment 1’. Sound intriguing? Well, not so much. In fact, Professor Sharp just wants you to use a Focus Potion and then use the Maxima and Endurus Potions simultaneously.
As simple as this sounds, we have not learned how to drink potions simultaneously throughout the game thus far and, well, there aren’t any prompts either. But fear not, friends, as drinking potions simultaneously is just as simple as drinking one in the first place!

In particular, the Thunderbrew potion can be absolutely devastating when you find yourself surrounded by a pack of wolves or some zany dark wizards.
Here are all the currently available Potions in Hogwarts Legacy:
- Wiggenwald Potion: Aids healing and restores health.
- Focus Potion: Reduces the player’s spell cooldown
- Maxima Potion: Increases spell damage for a limited time.
- Edurus Potion: Covers players in a rocky skin; enhancing defence.
- Invisibility Potion: Turns players invisible; causing enemies to lose sight.
