How many spells are there?
In regard to how many there are in the game, you can expect to see 26 spells during your playtime. This includes 23 standard spells, such as Expelliarmus and Alohomora.
Each spell works differently, with some offering advantages in combat, while others are useful when exploring the world. The more you learn, the more of Hogwarts Legacy you will be able to discover, as more areas become accessible as your spell list lengthens.
Additionally, there is also the opportunity to learn three Unforgivable Curses. These reside fairly late into your playthrough and include iconic deadly spells such as Crucio and Avada Kedavra. If you want to unlock these, you'll need to follow a character known as Sebastian Sallow’s quest line.
It’s entirely possible more spells may be added in the future if the developers at Avalanche Software decide to release any post-launch content. As for now, you’ll have to contend with the 26 available at your disposal.
