Hogwarts Legacy puts you in the shoes of a fifth-year student at the school, learning magic for the first time. While there are plenty of other spells available, you have the option to learn and use the three Unforgivable Curses; Crucio, Imperio, and Avada Kedavra. Crucio causes someone immense pain, Imperio controls them, and Avada Kedavra kills. These spells are illegal to use in the world of Hogwarts Legacy, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have them at your disposal if you want to. Here’s how to learn the Unforgivable Curses and any potential consequences to using them. Some story spoilers below.

Consequences of Dark Magic

As for the consequences of using Dark Magic, there really aren’t any. There is no morality system in Hogwarts Legacy, nor are there choices that lead down different paths. Any NPCs that are with you when you use them might have a shocked reaction and might verbally berate you for using them, but there won’t be any gamified punishments.
