Should you steal the Fwooper feather in Hogwarts Legacy? When Garreth Weasley asks you to help it's seems like a dilemma - help a friend by doing crimes? There's no clear good answer here as you'll either be letting someone down, or stealing.  

This is one of many times you'll be asked by someone to do something, but unlike, say, harmless tasks like finding Hogwarts Legacy gobstones, whether or not you steal the feather feels like it might have ramifications. However, spoilers: your choice doesn't really change anything.

There aren't any Hogwarts Legacy Spells that can help you here. It's just a case of physically taking the feather or not. So here's what happens when you decide to steal the Hogwarts Legacy Fwooper feather, and what happens if you don't.

Should you steal the Fwooper feather in Hogwarts Legacy?

It makes no difference if you steal the feather or not in Hogwarts Legacy. If you take it Professor Sharp will tell you off, and if you don't, Garreth will be fine and say he'll work something else out.

Whatever you decide to steal the feather or not the lesson will continue and end the same way. The two choices have no real impact in Hogwarts Legacy

  • If you steal the feather you'll be told off by Professor Sharp for doing it
  • If you don't steal the feather, Garreth won't mind while Professor Sharp will note your actions. 

Importantly, whatever you choose Weasley will still approach you later in the game with a plan to break into Honeydukes sweetshop that activates a quest. Nothing comes of Professor Sharp telling you off either except for a quick teling off at the end of class. There are no later repercussions, so it doesn't really matter what you pick. 

Most of the decisions in the game are like this, and missions you get from students are usually simple and often involve getting something or going somewhere. One exception to that are the Hogwarts Legacy quiz answers you'll need when Sephronia ambushes you with a trivia challenge. 

The release of Hogwarts Legacy has been the subject of criticism and debate due to J.K. Rowling’s public stance on gender identity, which continues to challenge the inclusivity at the heart of the Harry Potter community. Here is our explainer on the Hogwarts Legacy controversy.
