The Wiggenweld potion has a lengthy history in the Harry Potter universe, most notably being consumed by Harry prior to him and Albus Dumbledore exploring a coastal cave in quest of Lord Voldemort’s Horcrux. It has a history of recovering health and stamina, thus it stands to reason that it will be the main mechanism through which Hogwarts Legacy players may regain their health. There are many allusions to Harry Potter in Hogwarts Legacy, such as the chance to combat Trolls or encounter Peeves the Poltergeist bothering younger pupils, and older fans of the series will enjoy them.
Even though it was obvious from the start that healing potions would play a significant role in Hogwarts Legacy, many fans were pleasantly surprised to learn that they would take the shape of a beloved memento from the Harry Potter series. Other parallels, like a suspected reference to Tom Riddle’s Hogwarts notebook, create a picture of Hogwarts Legacy diving into darker tones and deadly adventures, both of which would need the creation of hundreds of Wiggenweld potions.
