As an open world game, Hogwarts Legacy holds many regions and towns that you can travel to. Thus, it can be overwhelming when solving for your next waypoint on the map, especially as each piece of land shown is filled with different icons and markers. These can signify one of many types of activities or objects and heading to these could net you more XP, your next quest, or a valuable item that makes your wizard even stronger. Here is every icon on Hogwarts Legacy’s map and what each indicates.
