Simply put, they can go to Diagon Alley and visit Madam Malkin’s Robes to change their complexion, hairstyle, outfits, and more in thisHarry Pottertitle. They can go to the Ollivander’s Wand Shop to buy skins for their wands, the Owl Post Office to change their owl, and even the Quality Quidditch Supplies to pick up a new broom. Although the customization feature and these shops may seem natural, many players have had difficulty trying to change their character’s appearance, wand, or even owl.

In what can only be seen as a great benefit, wand skins provide more than just an aesthetic appeal. The different options that are available to players currently or in the future offer statistical benefits as well inHarry Potter: Magic Awakened. For example, some offer increased MP generation speed; some add an extrarescue attempt in duels; some enhance exploration attributes or buff proficiency, etc. Essentially, gamers have quite a bit to think about regarding gameplay when making a choice.

There are five ways to acquire wand skins:
The method to go toOllivander’s Wand ShopinHarry Potter: Magic Awakenedis simple and the same as the one to go to Madam Malkin’s Robes given in the previous section. Essentially, players need to go to the Diagon Alley section of the map and then click on the said wand shop’s icon to appear there. Similarly, they need to interact with the wandmaker to get a list of available options. It is important to note that the purchase options will be unavailable earlier on in the story. Thus, for a certain amount of time, they will have to make do with the wand they acquired before starting Hogwarts.
Further, players cannot change individual components, like the handle or color, or other embellishments. As such, any wand skin they acquire will be a set package deal. This also prohibits them from mixing the various statistical benefits, especially as these can be compounded with a well-chosen set of cards to make a significant difference in gameplay.
Harry Potter: Magic Awakened Guide – How to Change Owls
Although not feature-rich, players can change their owls as well in the MMORPG title. They will make their first purchase before starting Hogwarts. Later on, they can again make their way to the Owl Post Office in Diagon Alley to choose a different owl. There are only a few options currently available, with a couple of others marked “Coming Soon.”
What is disappointing is that, unlike wand skins,players’ chosen owlsdo not add any gameplay benefits but only progress toward completion. However, there is one special variant, the Eagle Owl, which can be obtained from Loyalty Rewards. What makes it special is that it appears in chat as well, which alludes to the possibility that the upcoming additions may bring unique features toHarry Potter: Magic Awakened.
Overall, the title provides a host of personalization options that hardcore fans will appreciate. Since the world is immersive, and they can invite their friends along for the ride as well, customizing appearance really helps add another level of depth to the game. Further, the title was launched globally recently (PC is limited to the SEA region as of now), which leads to the assumption that a lot more gameplay and customization content will be added down the line.
Harry Potter: Magic Awakenedis available on PC, Android, and iOS.
