How to Get to Azkaban in Hogwarts Legacy

You can only get to Azkaban if you are playing as a Hufflepuff student in Hogwarts Legacy. You will receive this quest after completing the Trials of Merlin quest, titled Prisoner of Love. To start this quest, go to the common room and interact with the Eldritch Diggory painting. As each common room is different, only Hufflepuff house players can play this quest. But before interacting with the painting, you must obtain a letter stating that Eldritch Diggory wants to speak with you.

So, here's how you can travel and visit Azkaban prison in Hogwarts Legacy:

• Keep progressing through main story quests and side quests until you rescue an old woman.
• You will rescue this old woman from Victor's Rookwood gang near Black Lake.
• After rescuing her, you will receive the letter.
• As mentioned earlier, this letter will let you know that Eldritch Diggory, the former Minister for Magic, wishes to speak with you.
• When interacting with the painting, Eldritch will ask you to visit Helen Thistlewood.
• Then, go to her house located in the nearby village of Upper Hogsfield region.
• Once there, interact and talk to her. After a short conversation, she will ask you to speak with the wrongly convicted Anne in Azkaban.
• When asked, choose the dialogue option "I'll go with you to Azkaban". She will tell you that she can Apparate you and herself to Azkaban directly.
• Finally, choose the "I'm ready to go" option to Apparate to Azkaban instantly.

Not to spoil the rest of the quest's story, you'll catch a glimpse of Dementors and other prisoners in Azkaban. Unfortunately, after completing this quest, you cannot return to Azkaban Prison. So, it looks like Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Ravenclaw houses aren't missing much.
