With Hogwarts Legacy coming to Nintendo Switch, you may find yourself wondering: Who are the Companions the player can get in Hogwarts Legacy? What can each of them do? How can I meet them? Here is our guide to the Companions in Hogwarts Legacy, from who they are, to what house they're in, as well as what they excel in.

Hogwarts Legacy Guide – Companions

For starters, what are companions? Companions are other students that the player can interact with and travel with. Players can improve their relationship with these companions, which could help in certain parts of the game. Sadly, players cannot romance companions in the game, so do not go around making companions while aiming to romance them. It is also currently unknown if players can have companions from other houses.

At the moment, there are four confirmed Hogwarts Legacy companions, one for each of the game's four houses.

Slytherin Companion: Sebastian Sallow

Sebastian is the companion from Slytherin. He is a charming student who is fun to be around. The problem, however, is that his sister, Anne, is suffering from a mysterious curse. Sebastian will stop at nothing to help his sister, even if it means he has to dive into the Dark Arts. Unsurprisingly, his specialty is also the Dark Arts. If you find yourself needing someone to help you out in understanding the subject, then Sebastian is the man to call.

The player will have to progress through the main story to befriend Sebastian. Completing Sebastian's quest line gives the player the achievement “A Sallow Grave.” Players can also unlock the three Unforgivable Curses by progressing through Sebastian's quests.

Hufflepuff Companion: Poppy Sweeting

Poppy is the companion from Hufflepuff. Her social skills when it comes to people are quite lacking. However, her love and affinity for magical animals and beasts are second to none. Of course, this makes her specialty Care for Magical Creatures, so should you need help with them, she's your girl.

The player will have to progress through the main story to befriend Poppy. Completing Poppy's quest line gives the player the achievement “Beast Friends.”

Gryffindor Companion: Natsai Onai

Natsai is the companion from Gryffindor. Her sense of justice and adventure makes her a perfect fit for the house, as you will no doubt discover. She is a transfer student after her mother becomes Hogwarts's new Divination professor. As such, it might be a good idea to help her adjust to her new life. Should you need help in Charms, Natsai is the one you should approach.

The player will have to progress through the main story to befriend Natsai. Completing Natsai's quest line gives the player the achievement “The Avenging Gazelle”

Ravenclaw Companion: None

Ravenclaw doesn't actually have a companion. The closest thing players have to a companion for Ravenclaw is Amit Thakkar. Amit is an important NPC from Ravenclaw. He is very well-read and has big plans for himself. He is also willing to jump in and help any friend in need, although he finds himself regretting it later on. However, his smarts are definitely something you want at your side. In line with his smarts, his specialty is Astronomy, as he always has the most state-of-the-art telescope with him. In fact, Amit is essential for unlocking the game's Astronomy Tables, a type of collectible.
