Hogwarts Legacy - All 4 House Common Rooms RANKED From Worst To Best! 

Guys we are well aware that Ravenclaw has an Eagle and not a Raven. We realized the mistake after the first 20 comments about it lol

Another thing he didn’t mention is the RavenClaw common room has roof access so you can fly right to your house

Another small feature not many know about is that if you use your basic spell on any of the windows of the underwater room in the slytherin area, a massive tentacle will slap the window

I feel like its worth mentioning that the "restricted" sections of the common rooms are only restricted if you play as guy. The lore behind it is that the creators of the castle didnt want the boys sneaking into the girls rooms so the common room keeps them out of the girls area of the house. Its totally unfair that it doesnt work both ways but its still a little detail from the books im glad was included.

Im a proud Ravenclaw, but i really love the hanging garden and all the greenery in Hufflepuff. Wow!

Since our character (probably) comes from London, I think the vibe comparisons are best described like this: Gryffindor: Aristocratic London Slytherin: Gothic Victorian London Ravenclaw: Fantasy London Hufflepuff: Wales

I honestly love my hufflepuff common room but I WISH the beds had more privacy like all the other houses. As cozy as the room is, sleeping in full view of 4 other people is creepy.

As a member of Ravenclaw myself, I can say without a doubt that I was STUNNED by how fancy my common room was. I loved it and am proud to be a Ravenclaw.

Gryffindor is like a giant narnia wardrobe 😆 it’s great! I’m guessing a lot of people are over it though because we were literally in it for like 6 movies lol

Ravenclaw common room is absolutely stunning, couldn’t imagine it not being at the top

I also agree ravenclaw is the best, but my problem with it is that one of its lore features is that it has the best views to several areas of hogwarts, but here all the windows are opaque and you can't see through any of them :( it's infuriating.

I'm a Slytherin myself, however i do admire the Ravenclaw room as it's bright and quite spacious. Still, can't beat the Slytherin snake entryway and secluded vibe 😎🐍💚

As a Ravenclaw, the Hufflepuff common room looks amazing with the wooden architecture, natural sunlight and greenery. The slide looks like a lot of fun!

As a Gryffindor I think what hurts the common room is that it's in the same style as pretty much the rest of the castle, which obviously makes sense because both are a part of the medieval theme. Because of this though, it can make the room seem boring or bland.

One thing that I think is really cool about Ravenclaw house that a lot of people probably don't know is that you can fly to and land at the overlook above the common area of your rooms. There's a spiral staircase that you can unlock to find a kind of rooftop garden and you can use this spot as a take-off and landing point for direct access.

The Slytherin common room does also have an interactable piano, and also has the squid of the lake when you cast a few basic spells on the window. Really nice touches but I still agree Ravenclaws looks the best.

Slytherin is number one for me, love the underwater view and the water features in the house. Honestly it would make sleeping very peaceful for me. Would actually want to be sorted into slytherin if hogwarts actually existed

Although I love my gothic Slytherin common room where I know I'd feel the most comfortable in, Ravenclaw is definitely the most beautiful. It looks like it's always filled with fresh air that refreshes your brain everytime you breathe.

I like hufflepuff the most. Those plants and the cozy rooms are exactly what I like most

I'd say Slytherin is deffiently #1 for me. The high ceilings and victorian style architecture really completes the look. (I also love it because it's by far the biggest commen room) My second would be Ravenclaw for obvious reasons, third Gryffindor, and least favorite would be Hufflepuff. It's deffiently cozy and does feel like I'm in the shire (I'm a huge LOTR fan), but it's quite small and not what I'm looking for in a commen room. It makes me feel almost claustraphoic with the constant crouching beneath doorways. I also don't like how plain the dormitories are. :)

My biggest let down with Ravenclaw is I can't look out the windows... I really wanted the view from inside

Hufflepuffs is the coolest. Warm lighting, plants hanging from the curved supports, the way some benches blend seamlessly into the environment by the flowing lines in the woodwork. Organic and natural, cozy and welcoming

Slytherin feels like a high end hotel as you walk through in my opinion. Marble flooring echoes, the use of the cool water tones. In contrast, Gryffindor feels like a hall.

I think Griffindor was held back because it was showed in the movies where they couldn’t do a lot of crazy stuff. So Griffindor is beholden to a decades old movie while the other houses could’ve been imagined however the dev team wanted.

I would've switched Hufflepuff and Slytherin. I love Hufflepuff's hanging plants and sunlight with the rounded doorways and things. I love the aquarium situation that Slytherin has as well as the cascading water and all the other beautiful details in that common room, but it's too dark for me to do full time.

As a Slytherin, almost a Ravenclaw, i absolutely love Ravenclaw’s common room, but they all have a lovely sense of uniqueness that makes me want to visit them all :)

I'm surprised you put the Hufflepuff in 3rd. I'm in Ravenclaw but I like the Hufflepuff common room better. The Ravenclaw common room is stunning but it looks like a museum. The Hufflepuff gives is very cozy feeling. I love it so much that I'm rethinking my choice between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, which isn't very loyal of me. Slytherin is my least favorite. It looks cool but the underwater thing gives me a depressing feeling.

As a Ravenclaw I honestly agree with that being the best Common room but I'm shocked you put Hufflepuff as #3! Personally I had it as 1. Ravenclaw 2. Hufflepuff 3. Slytherin and 4. Gryffindor. I had the same complaints about Gryffindor it's just to bland for a fantasy game and the most "popular" house. But I loved the earthy feel of the Hufflepuff common room felt like it fit perfectly and I just barely had them over Slytherins gothic basement common room which still fits perfect I just liked Hufflepuff's better 🤷

My husband is Slytherin and I'm Ravenclaw. When he saw my common room during my play through he was stunned and even asked if our dormitory was bigger which I'm not sure about. I love it because it has all my favorite colors in the blue, white, and gold spectrum.

The fact that Hufflepuff was ranked #3 should be a crime! The coziness, whimsical architecture, and all the PLANTS in Hufflepuff is unparalleled.

Been watching you guys since the battlefront 2015 days. It's been hard to keep track with so many different games being covered, but I'm really enjoying your Hogwarts videos, and it's good to see that the channel is still thriving. Hope y'all are having just as much fun with the channel as yall were back in the day.

Personally, I'd judge common rooms not by how cozy they are, but by how many steps I'd need to climb to get to and from class. For this reason, I think Griffindor and Ravenclaw would be dead last.

Ravenclaw’s room = Majestic AF Slytherin’s room = Dungeon Fetish Gryffindor’s room = Boring & Messy Hufflepuff’s room = HOBBIT MEXICO

I love the floating watering cans watering the plants in hufflepuff

I like the huge underwater windows on Slytherin common rooms, the classic medieval style of Gryffindor, the Hobbit style on the Hufflepuff one, but i'm proud of being a Ravenclaw, so yes, we got the best c:

As a proud Ravenclaw, I absolutely agree with this list. One thing is that the dorm rooms that you referenced for Ravenclaw were the upper classman rooms, the regular students sleep in similar rooms, but with 2 bunk beds built into the wall. Also, that is an eagle not a raven at the door and it is blue not purple.

As a hufflepuff I could not be more overjoyed when I saw my common room and it looked exactly like a hobbit hole. Literally could not describe anything I would want more.

5:40 That's an eagle, not a raven. In the movies it was a raven, but in the books and the game it's an eagle.

I'd definitely switch Slytherin and Hufflepuff. I've got enough doom and gloom in life, don't need a common room to have even more of those bad vibes. Honestly, I'm surprised there aren't any higher su1cide rates for Slytherin students. That common room is depressing af.

To me Gryffindor and Slytherin fight in the middle while Ravenclaw flies above the rest; Hufflepuff comes last. It sure is visually interesting and the common room is quite pleasant, but the dormitories feel extremely claustrophobic, like I'm inside a giant box; Slytherin's in the dungeons and still manages to avoid this problem somehow.

For me Hufflepuff is the best. It’s so cozy and looks like an overall nice place to hang around

Plus, Ravenclaw common room leads up to a higher terrace on the roof where you can see the entire school and surrounding landscape. With the styles of bed and security at the stairs, I think Ravenclaw is the most unique out of the entire 4 houses. Also, common mistake, Ravenclaw's animal is an Eagle, not a Raven

I personally would rank it as such: #1 Ravenclaw #2 Hufflepuff #3 Slytherin #4 Gryffindor Ravenclaw topped my list for all the reasons already mentioned, & plus i like the skies, stars & blue. the luxurious feeling actually is a minus in my book as i like things that look less grand instead, but it still ranked 1st. Hufflepuff came a VERY close 2nd. cozier than i'd imagine & for all the reasons mentioned as well, only getting knocked to second because of its low ceilings in most places (which has a penchant for making a place look smaller than it should). would have ended up in a tie with Ravenclaw otherwise. Slytherin ranked 3rd just because the first 2 feel better in my book. i love the Victorian London-styled architecture & the water around & the coldness in it. would see myself spending a lotta time in the place, even though it does tend to give me the creeps in certain places. & then, there's Gryffindor, ranking WAAYYYYY below the others. fancy & cozy as it seems as a dormitory for students, it's just stone castle walls lined with a lotta red &... stuff. the whole place looks so bland & drab in comparison to the others, so lacking in character, that it almost appears boring. i personally don't have a very particular affinity for any of the houses & have actually been sorted in all 4 in tests throughout the years, i may just avoid getting sorted into Gryffindor altogether, just to avoid having to stay in a dorm like that in a fantasy game.

Ravenclaw was chosen for me and I was stoked when I explored around. It’s stunning. I love it! 👏👏

Ravenclaw's is hands down the best one. I already was interested in them because my favourite character is Luna and the things they value fit me perfectly. I have a great love for stars, astronomy and the night sky so when I saw the common room I immediately fell in love and knew it was a no brainer. Happy to see the Ravenclaw love.

Love the Hufflepuff Common Room. It’s so cozy and warm looking

I 100% agree. I wasn't overly excited for Ravenclaw (my house) when I saw the first clips revealed way back. But after seeing it in gameplay, I think it has to be the best design. At least to me personally. Also, the fact that it has a bathroom too! Has anyone found a bathroom in the other houses yet? I can't wait to get this game! Thanks for sharing.

Hufflepuff looks so amazing! So much natural light & nature. I’m obsessed with plants and the art nouveau style of all the windows and glass work is amazing. Ravenclaw is a close second.

It's interesting that the Witch and Wizard dorms actually look different; I'm Ravenclaw, and the witch dorms are bunk beds instead of all on the floor

Hufflepuff: luxuriously cozy, verdant, soft eye pleasing gold and green. Oozes of well-being and relaxation, and good health. The intricate wood work is on par with Ravenclaw’s stone work, but feels like a garden rather than a church. Gryffindor: warm reds and gold, cozy with a hint of regal, but everything has a slapped together lived-in look designed to put you at ease. The familiarity does take some shine off the apple, but objectively it’s stunning. Ravenclaw: dazzling beauty, yet sterile, regal, and aloof like a cathedral or a Vatican library. Lots of sharp edges and cold stone work. Pale blue and white like the distant stars or a snowy mountaintop. Slytherin: posh but crypt like, dank, looks like it smells like a fish tank or embalming fluid. Nice view of the fish. The students are the biggest attraction here, not what one might expect from the movies.

what i like from each common room (+my own rankings): 4. Gryffindor : nothing, sorry. 3. Slytherin : i like that it looks wide, the snake door 2. Ravenclaw : also looks wide, the dorm, the bathroom 1. Hufflepuff : the ambiance/lighting, all the plants, hobbit's doors

Makes sense that Ravenclaw's common room is number one. It is supposed to be the most beautiful and majestic according to lore. Or at least that's how it seems from the descriptions. No surprises there. What did take me by surprise was the Slytherin common room, especially the underwater part. I was not expecting it to be so cool. I don't think it is anywhere near as cool in its descriptions. Good on them for adding elements to it and making it a real consideration while choosing houses. I should say, at this point, that the Hufflepuff common room is very beautiful as well. Kind of gets overshadowed by the above two, but it doesn't deserve to be. Very cozy, extremely cozy in fact, and you just gotta love the lush greenery; plants make anything several times better. On a side note, it would be really funny if they add assets suggesting that the Hufflepuffs are huffing and puffing on interesting plant specimens in their free time. I was mostly sure I'd play Ravenclaw even before most details were revealed about the game but have to admit the choice has gotten harder.

I'm a ravenclaw, but I ended up switching to a slytherin character and couldn't be happier. I find the slytherin common room surprisingly cozy with the underwater vibe. It's hard to explain, as I know warm light is usually associated with a place being cozy. Idk hufflepuff is too yellow, and ravenclaw is too bright and pristine.

Ravenclaw here. Very appreciative of your assessment of my house’s dorm. 😊

As a plant admirer i love the plant and the grden detailing in huflepuff house

I really love Hufflepuff's common room for the warm lighting and nature-y feel. The curved wood and texture details are also lovely. I immediately thought of the Hobbit Houses as well so you are not alone there. However, I do really like Ravenclaw as well. I am Hufflepuff though so I may be bias lol

I'm a ravenclaw to the bone. So glad my common room is as stunning as it is. I agree tho, that none of them are bad, they are all in rein their own way. But ravenclaw is just *chefs kiss*

Im a huffelpuff myself in nature, but I would have to agree with you all the way. Your pretty much dead on from what I could tell.

So the houses reflects on the animals theme they based off like griffondor roams on the surface ,hufflepuff burrows underground, slytherin coils in a dark cave and ravenclaw roost in the sky. honetsly nice touch for the game.

Ravenclaw´s common room feels like you´re ´bout to enter into Olympus or smt like that with all that sunlight through the windows shining everywere and that Rowena´s statue that feels like a tribute to Athena, its gorgeous, elegant, expensive. We ravenclaws are privilege for having such a great space to spend in our free time and studies

personally agree with your ranking architecture and creativity wise but on the common room i wanted to be in, i would want to live in, id definitely switch slytherin and hufflepuff, since im a hufflepuff i definitely like the cozyness of my house than the dark brooding aura of slytherin's common room, love the interior and its very fascinating if i visit there but definitely not something im "comfortable" to live in if i say so myself

Very interesting decision… 4 Ravenclaw 3 Gryffindor 2 Hufflepuff 1 Slytherin I did not expect for the most basic common room to be ranked #1, but to each their own… by the way, my house is Ravenclaw.

This is some decent commentary. I loved it. The details of the common rooms are so impressively overwhelming it's hard to describe them adequately. So, hats off to you for a good job, my friend. 👏👍 Ironic as it is, I have to admit Ravenclaw's common room looks the most luxurious despite being the house I'd least likely join. And although Hufflepuff's values appeal to me personally, I feel like their common room could take some getting used to if you're not a plant person or one of those gardening types.😅

At first I didn’t like that the Ravenclaw house entrance is the only one that’s not hidden. But seeing the cool gold Ravenclaw open up to the bigger and even cooler wall statue is pretty amazing.

Even as a Ravenclaw diehard, the Slytherin room is top tier with Ravenclaw right after

This video is amazing! You captured the houses perfectly

What I regret about Gryffindor’s common room that you have for the other houses, is that you “feel” the house in their ambiance. The values of the house are reflected in the design and the “atmosphere”. Gryffindor there are the colors and the lions, but nothing tells you : “this is for the brave and bold”. For others you feel it. And I AM a Gryffindor, hence the disappointment. It’s nice, but not for Gryffindor.

You make a good case for Ravenclaw's common house, but I'm more of a snake-reveals-an-invisible-door, underwater-view, room-full-of-animal-skeletons kind of guy.

Interesting, I’d rank them almost exactly the opposite. I think Ravenclaw lacks the coziness that’s critical to a good common room. For me, #1 has to be Hufflepuff, with its flowing lines, woodwork and greenery, all strongly reminiscent of the architecture of both the Hobbits and Elves of Lord of the Rings. #2 for me is Gryffindor, partly for the nostalgia, but also because it really feels like part of the castle, and has a warm and welcoming feel #3 I’d say Slytherin, purely because it’s very interesting, and the doorway is by far the coolest. #4 is Ravenclaw. It just feels so sterile to me, though it is definitely beautiful. I wish it balanced the cold lighting with warmer colors, focusing more on the bronze than the blue.

I'm a Ravenclaw and the only ranking I agree with is Gryffindor in fourth. Here is my ranking: 1. Overall, I think Slytherin in the most unique common room in terms of vibe and architecture. Almost every aspect of Slytherin's common room feels special and full of fantasy - the entrance, the waterways, the underwater setting, the high ceilings and openness which make it feel like the biggest common room. While the other common rooms feel warm and/or bright, Slytherin feels cold and dark. I haven't advanced much into the game, but I hope there is a quest that will take me inside. 2. Hufflepuff's architecture is probably the most unique overall, so I'm putting it in second. I think the earth theme has been wonderfully executed, and, like OP has said, it's so cozy, just like it's residents. The hanging gardens are a particularly beautiful design feature. 3. Ravenclaw for me comes in third. I agree with OP that the sleeping chambers are the most unique, and as many have mentioned, Ravenclaw's rooftop is an additional feature that distinguishes it from all the rest. However, the rooftop doesn't feel really feel like part of the common room since you have to climb up to it and pass through a door to get there. Moreover, while the common room is beautiful, its vibe and architecture are very similar to the astronomy tower. The entrance way is also pretty dull, having had its unique feature removed: riddles. I would have liked to have seen riddles implemented at the doorway and players allowed to skip them using the Floo Network after the first time entering. In terms of vibe, I would have loved to see the common room full of night owls studying or practicing spells into the wee hours since we Ravenclaw march to the beats of our drums. Using the air element within the common room instead of astronomy theme, such as with balconies or elevating objects, maybe with wind to prevent students from entering the restricted dormitory, would have made the experience feel more uniquely thematic for me. 4. Gryffindor comes in fourth as the least unique common room. As someone stated in the comments, it's really that it feels like it could be any other area in the castle. Fire is underused like Air was in Ravenclaw, and there are no unique features like the underwater setting, the hanging garden, or the rooftop.

The Slytherin common room reminded me of an old set for a Hammer horror film, the most closest to it being The Haunted Palace.

There’s also a piano you can start playing in Slytherin’s as well

Proud Ravenclaw here. But that Hufflepuff common room is gorgeous. Big fan of that circular architecture and organic designs. The plants are amazing. Next playthrough is definitely Hufflepuff. Any lore friendly Hufflepuff witch names any of you can give me?

For me, survival common room is Hufflepuff because of the plants and also source of foods and I don’t care if is too ordinary looking common room but it gives you life and fresh air.

completely agreed. i myself did hte pottermore test ages ago and played my playthrough on that result which had me in ravenclaw. also a shoutout on the ravenclaw common room that none of the others have is the secret roof top entrance.

They are seriously all so beautiful!

I'm a proud Slytherin but the ravenclaw common room is absolutely gorgeous and regal

I find it crazy how accurate the two houses I go back and forth between are to my personality. It really depends on how im feeling, but I can’t help but ooh and aah at both Slytherin and Ravenclaw. The dank and dark water aesthetic and gothic vibes are perfect for me. I love how dark and moody it is inside of the Slytherin house. Alternatively, my nerdy side is in awe at how fantastic Ravenclaw is. The place oozes knowledge, and I know every bookworm with access to a windowsill bed/bench growing up absolutely used to sit on that thing reading books watching nature down below. It’s the perfect vibe for me SOME of the time. It’s a tough call on which I like better, and the house I get sorted into changes all of the time between the two just based on my mood. 😅

My personal rankings are 1. Ravenclaw: I think it looks the coolest and the balcony puts it quite high for me 2. Hufflepuff: really love the cozy feel and the closeness to the kitchen, but I kinda hate how it doesn't feel quite as large as the others 3. Slytherin: its absolutely gorgeous and does the dungeon vibe well but there's just something about it that feels like its missing? 4. Gryffindor: I'm sorry, it does have hints of Gryffindor vibes but honestly this common room felt like the rest of the castle to me

Back in the day I wanted to be like Harry Potter go to Gryffindor and beat the snakes at Slytherin. I took the test and got Ravenclaw and now I am older I see that was the right choice. Going into this game seeing our common room and exploring this world, I can say, our room is definatly the best! (I do have characters in the other classes)

I regret going Gryffindor, I just couldn't go raven claw cause they seem like a slytherin 2.0 with being lowkey evil & shady on the low. I should have went huffed puff since they're kinda & loyal

Fun facts: -Ravenclaw Tower overlooks the Black Lake, the Forbidden Forest, and even the Mountains that surround Hogwarts. -Ravenclaw Tower has it's own library!!!

yea i took a chance going with ravenclaw since thats what the site gave me and i couldnt be happier

Didnt play the game yet, but from what I saw in this video, while the Ravenclaw common room looks gorgeous I would probably feel best in Hufflepuff. Its just looks so calming and nice.

I'm a Slytherin and sadly I'm placing them last, tho I like the window looking out the water and the waterfall, I cant get pass how creepy and tacky the skeletons and skulls look. But I agree with the door entry! Definitely the coolest and most unique. The rooms are not bad, for me it's better for the room to be dark, and unlike the common room it looks very fancy.

Whats also great about Ravenclaw common room is that after you get Alohomora I you have straight pathway to the roof when you go up from the common room AKA Ravenclaw actually has got its own privat broomstick "helipad" which is AWESOME. I love Ravenclaw common room. The fact I did a test on Pottermore years ago and was guaranteed to be Ravenclaw in my first playthrough really got boosted by appearing in there first. I LOVED every second of it.

i think the best part about ravenclaw commun room is the roof, which you need either a broom or aloomora to access which i think doesn't make sense but it goes so well with the house

For the friendliest House, only Hufflepuffs entrance will try to attack intruder with vinegar. I can already imagine the other life where Neville was sent to Hufflepufffs instead. “Salad Neville Longbottom”

I agree with your rankings. A couple things you missed: Ravenclaw has a tower balcony that unlocks fairly early in the game (once you learn Alohomora, the unlocking spell), which makes it even cooler. Slytherin Common Room also has a piano you can play. The murals also look really cool and I've heard you can explore around the waterfall. Gryffindor has a Gramophone you can play Gryffindor has the most school spirit: house colours everywhere, but they are the only house that also displays Hogwarts banners. No other houses have any banners for the school itself. Boys get a bad rap in Hufflepuff. No access to the top floor lookout. All of the other Common Rooms have dorms on one side or the other, so one side is blocked to the boys, but in Hufflepuff only the girls have access to the upper floor, with the little nooks and outlook. There is a secret compartment behind one of the bookshelves. Apparently Hufflepuff also gets the best house specific side quest.

Slithering has a cool interactive thing too… shoot the window leading to the river a few times and a tentacle from the giant squid hits the window

I agree with your assessment, though only for the vibrance i would probably put Hufflepuff above slytherin, though the underwater theme is just so good, i prefer natural light and brighter places

I love the Slytherin common room

Im a proud Slytherin but I’ll admit that i only rank it 3rd, Ravenclaw 2nd and Hufflepuff 1st. I love hufflepuffs cozy wooden ornate hobbit feel with all the plants and fireplaces and I love the feeling of being in the sky along with the regal colors of Ravenclaws. I like the dark gothic Slytherin feel but its almost too dark. Most Slytherins arent angry, brooding soon to be dark lords and the common room does not reflect that

As a ravenclaw as much as I love the vibe of the common room especially since I love the reading nook feel about it I absolutely love the slytherin common room I love the dark eriness of it

Got it for my birthday, loving every bit of it, I’m proud to be a slytherin and the dorm is probably my favorite but I do love ravenclaw’s too

The Gryffindor's got a the short end of the stick for the simple reason that it already had a established look. This is the movie verse. It has to adhere to that look. Meaning they weren't really allowed to get super creative and that's a bit of a shame. Plus, well, Gryffindor bashing seems to be a bit of a trend in the fandom too.

I def agree with your ratings, as a ravenclaw, i was super proud and excited with how the common room turned out. Thanks for these updates, its helped me get a real grasp of the game.

Thank you for the video

fun fact, if you keep striking the glass in the slytherin common room, you might get the giant squid to hit the glass :D only happened to me once yet

Just a side note and also a fun fact: those ravens in ravenclaw and their house animal symbol on their robes isn’t actually a raven. It’s an eagle. How weird is that?
