The long-rumored Harry Potter crossover with Fortnite has now crossed the line from speculation into official territory, thanks to a live Epic Games–run promotion that directly links Hogwarts Legacy with Fortnite.
While Epic has not yet released a traditional crossover trailer featuring playable Harry Potter characters, the collaboration is no longer theoretical.
Players can now unlock a Wizarding World–themed Fortnite cosmetic simply by playing Hogwarts Legacy through the Epic Games Store, making this the first confirmed bridge between the two franchises.
Why Is Hogwarts Legacy Free Right Now?
At the center of the confirmation is Hogwarts Legacy, which Epic Games has made free to claim for a limited time.
Anyone with an Epic Games account can add the game to their library at no cost during the promotion window, and once claimed, it is owned permanently.
Epic is using this massive giveaway as part of its broader holiday and Game Awards season push, positioning Hogwarts Legacy as its first officially branded The Game Awards free title.
The timing and scale of the promotion immediately drew attention, especially given the game’s status as one of the best-selling releases of recent years.
How Do You Unlock the Chocolate Frog Back Bling in Fortnite?
Once Epic verifies the playtime, the cosmetic is automatically added to the player’s Fortnite locker.
Importantly, this isn’t limited to new players, as those who already had sufficient playtime recorded before the promotion went live are also eligible, meaning longtime Hogwarts Legacy owners can still benefit.
Is This Connected to Fortnite Winterfest 2025?
Beyond the confirmed promotion, this crossover has also reignited discussion around Fortnite Winterfest 2025.
Leaks circulating in recent weeks suggest that Winterfest content may include Harry Potter–related items, potentially even full character skins and a broom-themed Mythic item.
Dataminers have also speculated that any Harry Potter cosmetics could be distributed through Winterfest’s gift-unwrapping system, possibly making them free rewards.
However, it’s important to separate these claims from what Epic has officially announced.
As of now, the only confirmed Harry Potter content in Fortnite is the Chocolate Frog Back Bling tied to Hogwarts Legacy playtime.
