Wand handles, for the most part, are like the other gear in Hogwarts Legacy; players must get them from random chests hidden throughout the game. The Checkerboard – Blue Wand Handle is a wand handle that can only be given from a random chest. A select few wands, however, can drop from completing quests.

An organic tactic for finding wand handles is to keep an eye on your mini-map for chests while exploring. Cast Revelio when a chest is on the map and close by; that will make it glow blue through walls. If the chest is hidden, either open the locked door with the Alohamora mini-game or solve the puzzle concealing it. As you progress through the game, you will be able to find and open more doors and chests, providing you more wand handles.

Players that have a specific wand handle in mind that they want and can’t wait for can use a method to farm wand handles. There are chests in the game that only drop wand handles, and they can be farmed by using save files. To do this, make a save next to the unopened chest and reload the save after opening it until the wand handle you want drops. Try it at any chest you find that provides a wand handle.

There is a chest in Hogwarts Castle that you can go to at the start of the game to try for the wand handle you want. Follow these instructions to find it and farm it :

  1. Fast travel to the Clock Tower Courtyard, Floo Flame.
  2. Turn around and go through the door by the floo flame.
  3. Cross the bridge that heads into the main part of the castle and take a right once inside.
  4. Follow the hall up a set of stairs, and you will see a frog statue at the base of a circular stair set.
  5. Select the frog statue, and you will be teleported to a room with a wand handle chest.
  6. Make a save at the chest before opening it, and reload after opening it until you receive the desired wand handle.

If I'm not working or spending time with the family I'm probably gaming. Some of my favorite recent games I've played are Far Cry 5, World of Warcraft Classic, and 7 Days to Die.
