How to Advance Time in Hogwarts Legacy

To advance time in Hogwarts Legacy, simply view the world map, and you’ll find a small "Wait" option that can be toggled by pressing your controller’s analog stick, or the respective button on PC.

Selecting this option will allow you to change the game from day to night.

Stock in many stores is limited, but did you know that if you advance time by two and a half days, their stock will be fully replenished. This is a great method if you're looking to purchase bulk seeds, ingredients, or potions.
