Potions may not be a very appealing subject for you… or maybe it is. Hogwarts Legacy doesn’t just have classes. It has a potion brewing system Very cool, although it falls a bit short on content. While they are not as decisive as spells, they make the difference in many fights, especially if you have obtained the upgrades.
Below I reveal all the secrets of the noble art of Potions in Hogwarts Legacy. If you follow this guide, you will not only be able to craft all potions, but you will also be able to do so in large quantities and with enhanced effects.
Potions at Hogwarts Legacy
Let’s start at the beginning. To make potions you need to have the Hogwarts Legacy Plants and Ingredients guide on hand. It’s essential, as it tells you all the plants and ingredients available in the game, how to produce them, and which potions to use them in.
That said, let’s move on to the second point. You can obtain potions through two means: Traders and own elaborationIf you want to make them yourself, you need to get the recipesThey cost between 500 and 1,500 galleons in the J. Pippin’s shopnorthwest of Hogsmeade. You should also stop by Tomes and Scrolls to purchase the Summoning Spells needed for the Room of Requirement.

Potion upgrades via Talents
- Edurus Potion Potency (Level 5): Makes you invulnerable and deflects enemy attacks. It makes them bounce.
- Invisibility Potion Potency (Level 5): The invisibility effect lasts longer.
- Max Potion Potency (Level 16): Attacks do more damage and break any type of shield.
- Thunderbrew Power (Level 22): Increases the range and damage of the storm.
- Concentration Potion Potency (Level 22): Increases the duration of the potion when any spell is cast while it is active.
You already know how to acquire the recipes, the effects and ingredients you need, and the talent upgrades. Now I’ll tell you how. optimize the creation process of potions to have a constant supply. You must go to Tomes and Scrolls and buy two very important items: potions stand (preferably T-shaped) and the Jumping PotThe arrangement I recommend is the following:
- x4 T-shaped Potion Stand (upgradable to 7): Each stand has 3 slots for making potions. This gives you the ability to make 12 potions at a time. You don’t need more than that, but you can have up to 28 slots.
- x3 Jumping Pot: These are pots with liquid that make a random potion every so often. They work like plants: you collect them and wait for them to recharge. Simple.
If you want to optimize space, put the tables in a T-shape in the arrangement shown below. The end result is a large table. You will only have to rotate it to make and collect the ready potions.
NOTE: You will be able to brew potions in Potions Class until you unlock the Room of Requirement.
Plants and potions have similar durationsso you can gather plants while potions are brewing and brew potions while plants are coming back. If you get the timing right, the only limit is your inventory. When you reach the maximum number of potions you can carry, make one more (I recommend Boil-Life Booster) in each slot and leave it there. It will stay there until you pick it up, thus optimizing the next batch of potions.
Now yes, you know everything about potions of Hogwarts LegacyMost players choose not to enhance this branch (myself included), but you understand its power once you use some of them during combat.
