Hogwarts Legacy – Difference between Levioso and Wingardium Leviosa, explained

Hogwarts Legacy allows players to acquire and use different types of spells, including unforgivable curses like Avada Kedavra. Some of these spells are extremely important and you must learn to progress further in the main quest storyline. Levioso and Wingardium Leviosa are two life spells that may seem similar at first glance, but differ in terms of usage.

Difference between Levioso and Wingardium Leviosa

While Levioso is a control spell that can be cast on enemies and objects, Wingardium Leviosa is an auxiliary spell that can only be cast on moving objects. Levioso simply moves the object or victim into the air and levitates it for a while. On the other hand, you can use Wingardium Leviosa on an object to carry and move it. The position of the affected object can be controlled with your character’s movement and with the D-Pad on a controller. For example, if you find a climbing wall that is too high, use Wingardium Leviosa to place a block of wood under the wall to allow the climb (second image). The similarity between these two spells is that both are used to solve certain puzzles in the game and give a floating effect.
