Just like Harry Potter had friends like Ronald Weasely and Hermione Grainger, you will have your own few friends or companions in Hogwarts Legacy. Although there are many characters in the game, a selected few will play an important role and tag along with you for most of your journey.
Although you do have major companions from the first three houses, there is no major character from the Ravenclaw house. Amit Thakkar of the Ravenclaw house is believed to hold that potential, but there is no trophy linked to him as to others (we’ll explain later).
Once you befriend these companions, they accompany you in a few of your quests and even offer you some of their own. These may be Main quests or Relationship Line quests, which are sort of like side quests uncovering your companion’s stories.
However, that’s not all of it. You will get amazing rewards for completing their Relationship Line quests. In the case of Sebastion of the Slytherin house, for example, you get to learn the three Unforgivable Curses – Avada Kedavra, Imperio, and Crucio.
Note that if you’re thinking about romancing characters in Hogwarts Legacy with your companion’s Relationship Lines, then know that it is not possible since there’s no aspect of romance in Hogwarts Legacy.
Moreover, by completing all of the Relationship Line quests that each of your companions has to offer, you will unlock trophies and achievements – the “Best Friends” trophy for Poppy, “A Swallow’s Grave” trophy for Sebastian, and “The Avenging Gazelle” trophy for Natty.
There will be a lot of characters you can befriend in Hogwarts Legacy, but only three of them will be your major companions, which are:
Sebastian Swallow (Slytherin)

Unfortunately, Ranrok the goblin laid a curse on his sister who has fallen seriously ill. Sebastian believes that only the Dark Arts can save her, so he’s hell-bent on learning the dark ways.
Along your journey, you will help Sebastian find a cure and save his sister. Moreover, he is one of the characters you choose to travel to Hogsmeade with at the start of the game.
