Hogwarts Legacy is filled with various secrets to uncover as you explore the vast reaches of the highlands. One of the mystery deals with a boarded-up door in Hogsmeade, which hides away a secret location and won’t open up to everyone.

This building is covered up, old, and dusty – not the ideal place to call home. Fortunately, this building can be put to good use — but only if you happen to be playing on the correct system. Here’s what you need to know about the boarded door at Hogsmeade in Hogwarts Legacy, and how you can unlock it.

Why is There A Boarded Door in Hogsmeade?

The boarded door at Hogsmeade is connected to a quest in Hogwarts Legacy, and you can only unlock that quest later in the game. You must have completed the third trial in the main story of Hogwarts Legacy, and then you need to find a house elf named Penny. and she’s going to give you the quest called Minding Your Own Business.

It’s important to note that the Minding Your Own Business quest is only available to PlayStation players. If you are playing Hogwarts Legacy on another console or your PC, Minding Your Own Business will not be available to you.

You can find the boarded door in the southeast of Hogsmeade near the South Hogsmeade Floo Flame fast travel point. Unfortunately, those who have purchased the game on PS4 and PS5 can only access this area. Those playing the game on PC, Nintendo Switch, or Xbox won’t be able to access this area.
