Hogwarts Legacy allows players to step into the life of a student at Hogwarts Castle from the Harry Potter franchise, undergoing many of the same rituals as in the books and films, such as the Sorting Ceremony. While players can be sorted into Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff, one player discovered that Hogwarts Legacy does not treat all of his students the same when it comes to hygiene.

The Hufflepuff Common Room is located in the basement of Hogwarts Castle, next to the kitchens. While positive traits of Hufflepuff students include kindness and loyalty, their friendly nature can lead to some difficulties, which, in this case, appear to be built directly into the castle's plumbing plans.

Hogwarts Legacy had many strengths, but its emphasis on combat was a defining feature and one that shouldn't be lost in a potential sequel.

A Reddit user noticed that Hufflepuff students are at a disadvantage when it comes to a major quality of life issue—access to a bathroom. Reddit user ina_rs shared a split-screen video to the platform showing how long it takes to run from the Hufflepuff Common Room to two of the castle's closest bathrooms. Even sped up significantly, the video takes 26 seconds, as the player character runs and descends several flights of stairs in the castle's basement before finally reaching the bathroom. The bathroom on the right side of the screen is reached a few seconds before the end of the video, but to make matters worse, it appears to be the dreaded Chamber of Secrets bathroom. Although the video begins in one of the bedrooms, it appears to take over 100 full-speed steps for a player character to reach the bathroom closest to the common room's main entrance.

Hogwarts bathrooms are hard to reach for Hufflepuffs

Other players have pointed out that some other Hogwarts students have access to bathrooms built directly into their common areas. Ravenclaw house depicted in Hogwarts Legacy They have full bathrooms with bathtubs, showers, sinks, and toilets installed directly in their student residences, as does Gryffindor, though their bathrooms are only accessible by climbing the stairs on the girls' side of the dormitories. While Slytherin, who lives in the basement, doesn't have a built-in bathroom, there is one not far from the entrance. Some others have even pointed out the well-documented tradition that before Muggle plumbing was installed around 1700, students and staff would relieve themselves in the hallways and use Evanesco, the Vanishing Charm, to clean them.

While the lack of bathrooms near the common room might make experienced RPG players choose a different house, not everything is bad in Hufflepuff.
