Hogwarts Legacy takes place approximately one hundred years before the events of Harry Potter. As such, it follows a completely different character during their time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. On their journey, they will encounter all manner of people and creatures, but some stand out more than others.
The protagonist of Hogwarts Legacy will encounter an array of students during their time at Hogwarts, some of whom will ask the player to complete tasks for them. While most of these tasks can be completed with relative ease, some players will likely struggle with the task Sophronia Franklin provides.
Updated June 19, 2023, by Justin Flynn: It's possible to complete most of the quests in Hogwarts Legacy through sheer brute force and dedication, but this isn't the case with Professor Weasley's Assignment. To complete this quest, the player must locate two Field Guide Pages, one of which can only be acquired by partaking in a quiz provided by Sophronia Franklin.
To progress the quest, players need only answer five questions, but those hoping to really put their knowledge of the wizarding world to the test can elect to answer twenty more. Answering all twenty-five will reward the protagonist with some helpful items, but doing so can be extremely difficult if players aren't familiar with the Harry Potter universe. That said, most of the answers can be discovered while exploring the world of Hogwarts Legacy, speaking with NPCs, and finding Field Guides Pages, but at this point in the game's story, it's likely players have yet to uncover the information needed to answer all of Sophronia's questions correctly.
Professor Weasley's Assignment
To acquire the Transformation spell from Professor Weasley's Transfiguration class, players must seek out two Field Guides in Hogwarts. To find the Field Guide located in the Underground Harbor, players should track the quest via the map and follow the path until they reach the lift that descends into the cavern below the castle.
For those struggling to find the entrance from inside the castle, it is possible to reach the Underground Harbor from outside by traveling to the Boathouse and flying to the Underground Harbor on a broom. To enter, however, the broom must be dismounted, and the protagonist must swim inside. The Field Guide can then be found by casting Revelioon the furthest pier on the right while facing the Great Lake.
To find the second Field Guide, the player must travel to the library, climb the stairs to the first floor, and approach Sophronia Franklin in the far corner. Obtaining the Field Guide requires the protagonist to cast Revelio, but since Sophronia is currently in possession of the book Professor Weasley wants examined, the player will need to convince her to hand it over before it can be acquired.
Sophronia Franklin's Quiz Answers
To obtain the second Field Guide, players will need to answer a series of questions relating to the lore of the wizarding world. Thankfully, progressing the story only requires that five questions be answered, but they can be quite tricky if the player isn't familiar with the topics. For those who are unsure of the correct answers, these are the options they should choose:
Quiz 1
- Before the invention of the Golden Snitch, which magical creature was used in a game of Quidditch? - The Golden Snidget.
- Which potion is commonly referred to as "Liquid Luck?" - Felix Felicis.
- The Tale of the Three Brothers involves which magical artefacts? - The Deathly Hallows.
- Which ball in Quidditch is the largest? - The Quaffle.
- True or false: Polyjuice Potion allows the drinker to change species? - False.
Upon answering these five questions correctly, Sophronia will permit the protagonist to collect the Field Guide, but players who wish to test their knowledge of the Harry Potter universe are more than welcome to continue taking her quiz. From here, the quiz gets a great deal harder, but there's no shame in not knowing the answers.
Quiz 2
- What governmental body directly preceded the Ministry of Magic? - The Wizards’ Council.
- Which dragon breed is the smallest? - The Peruvian Vipertooth.
- Who founded the village of Hogsmeade? - Hengist of Woodcroft.
- The Hidebehind was accidentally created by cross-breeding a ghoul with what other magical creature? - The Demiguise.
- What is the only spell known to repel a Lethifold? - The Patronus Charm.
- Who published the law of Elemental Transfiguration? - Gamp.
- What does the Hogwarts motto translate to? - Never tickle a sleeping dragon.
- Which magical creature is the only one known to produce eggs through its mouth? - The Runespoor.
- Where is the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry located? - Mount Greylock
- What is the most powerful love potion known to Wizardkind? - Amortentia.
For those who managed to answer these ten questions, they will now be permitted to answer another ten that are equally, if not more challenging. Much of this quiz requires players to already have amassed extensive knowledge of the wizarding world, so it is likely most players will struggle with answering correctly, especially at this point in the game.
Quiz 3
- Emeric the Evil was killed in a duel against whom? - Egbert the Egregious.
- If a Chaser keeps their hand on the Quaffle as it goes through the goal, what foul are they committing? - Haversacking.
- A bite from a Mackled Malaclaw has the unusual side effect of causing what? - Bad Luck.
- What plant excretes Stinksap? - Mimbulus Mimbletonia.
- The Pepperup Potion evolved from a remedy created by which 12th-century wizard? - Linfred of Stinchcome.
- In The Wizard and the Hopping Pot, what does the elder wizard leave for his son in the Hopping Pot? - A single slipper.
- The Snallygaster is native to which region of the world? - North America.
- Who is the Muggle knight featured in The Fountain of Fair Fortune? - Sir Luckless.
- The world’s largest Kelpie is also known by what other name? - The Lock Ness Monster.
- Who was the first Minister for Magic? - Ulick Gamp.
Rewards For Completing Sophronia Franklin's Quiz
Upon answering all twenty-five of these quiz questions, Sophronia will praise the protagonist for their knowledge of magical history. She will then thank the protagonist for participating in her quiz and will allow them to access the Field Guide Page she was previously guarding. When the conversation ends, the player will receive a Wiggenweld Potion, a Maxima Potion, and an Eduras Potion.
The rewards earned from completing Sophronia's quiz can be acquired elsewhere, so players won't miss out on anything special if they answered any questions incorrectly. It's also important to mention that, even if the player's answers were all wrong, they will still be able to achieve 100% Completion if they wish to.
Once the Field Guide has been obtained, the player should travel back to Professor Weasley's classroom, where they will be treated to a short cutscene that explains what Transfiguration entails.
What Does The Transformation Spell Do?
When the cutscene ends, the player will be free to approach Professor Weasley, who will praise the protagonist for collecting the Field Guides before teaching them how to cast the Transformation spell. She will then comment on the protagonist's progress thus far before allowing them to practice their new spell in the safety of her classroom. The Transformation spell is especially handy for those who wish to experience a more humorous side of combat, as it can be used to transform enemies into bizarre things.
At its base level, the Transformation spell can be used to completely remove an enemy from the battle by turning them into an inanimate object. Said object can then be thrown at other enemies to deal some damage. If players use the spell and decide not to throw the enemy-turned-object, the affected enemy will eventually regain their original form.
As a Control spell, casting the Transformation spell at an enemy defending themselves with a yellow shield will cause the shield to break, exposing the enemy to whatever other spells the player has access to, all while transforming the target into an object.
If players wish to enhance the Transformation Spell's potential, they can do so by purchasing the Transformation Mastery Talent from the Spells Talent category in the pause menu. With this ability unlocked, casting the Transformation Spell at an enemy will turn them into an explosive object, which can then be thrown at other enemies to deal some serious damage.
To unlock this Talent, players must first ensure that their character has reached Level 22 and that they have at least one Talent Point to spare.
It's also important to note that the Transformation spell won't work on all enemies. If cast at a Troll or most of Hogwarts Legacy's bosses, it will have no effect, so players should only use it when they believe an enemy is susceptible to being transformed.
Hogwarts Legacy is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, with a Switch release scheduled for November 14th, 2023.
