Golden Snitch - Where To Find & Location
Under The Room Of Requirement
The Golden Snitch can only be found during your first visit to the Room of Requirement right before you meet up with Deek. After the Room of Requirement is transformed, you can longer get access to it so make sure to get it before that happens.
Point of No Return - Missable Content Guide
Pay Attention To Your Character's Dialogue
Around the time the last piece of debris is removed with Evanesco, your character will say "Golden Snitch?". The main character will take notice of the Golden Snitch that is flying around the area so keep an eye out.
Enter The Room With An Inaccessible Chest
The Golden Snitch flies around for a moment before it enters the room where there is an inaccessible chest. When you peek through the gap, it will be flying around.
You Can Come After You Complete The First Guardian Ordeal
You will gain access to the Room of Requirement after you finish the First Guardian's trial. The quest called "The Room of Requirement" will be available, and it's when you will get the chance to encounter the Golden Snitch.
Also Found At Niffler's Den
The Golden Snitch can also be found at Niffler's Den. It doesn't have power and it is flying very weak, so it does not look like it has power to fly in a game.
The Niffler has a habit of collecting gold and other shiny objects, so it may have been the Golden Snitch had been caught by one of the Nifflers.
Can Also Be Seen Gryffindor's Common Room
If you are a student of Gryffindor, you will be able to see the Golden Snitch flying around the Common Room ceiling.
Can't Catch The Golden Snitch
The Golden Snitch seems to just be for fan enjoyment since it can't actually be caught. It doesn't mean you have won the Quidditch Match.
What Is The Golden Snitch?
One Of The Balls In Quidditch In Orignal Books
Quidditch is the most popular sport in the Wizarding World. In it, two teams of seven broom-riding players compete to earn the highest points. It has three balls, the Quaffle, the Bludger, and the Golden Snitch.
When Caught, Ends The Game & Gives Team That Catches It 150 Points
The Golden Snitch flies at amazing speed and catching it will immediately ends the game. The team that catches it, will also get 150 points. If you do not catch the Snitch, then it is a never ending game.
The Seeker Catches The Golden Snitch
Each member of a Quidditch team has their roles to play and its the Seeker who is responsible for catching the Golden Snitch. Harry Potter played the role of Seeker for the Gryffindor team during his stay in Hogwarts.
A Small Golden Ball That Flies Incredibly Fast
The Golden Snitch is about the size of a walnut, has wings, and flies at blinding speed. Since they fly so fast that it's hard for them to see, the Seekers are special wherein they can keep track of it.
The protagonist of Hogwarts Legacy can visually locate it, so maybe they have the qualities of a Seeker? It's a shame that there is no Quidditch in the game.
Was Previously A Bird Called A Golden Snidget
Before the introduction of the Golden Snitch, a magical bird called the Golden Snidget was used in Quidditch for the same purpose.
