I’d argue there was nothing more important in Hogwarts Legacy than having the sexiest Wand Handle that you can get. Okay, Hogwarts Legacy’s Merlin Trials probably are more important thanks to their gear slot increases, but this surely comes a close second.
The thing with Wand Handles in Hogwarts Legacy - other than the fact that you need to collect all 42 to complete the game’s Collection - is that for the most part, you need to find them in the open-world. Sure, there are a few side quests with Wand Handle rewards - 5, to be precise - but the vast majority of them (37), you’re going to have to find in the open-world.
Below is a list of Hogwarts Legacy’s Wand Handles and where you can find them - and yes, like the other Collection Chests, your reward is random. We’ve got more in-depth collectible guides for each region if you need specific assistance. The list below though should function as exactly that: a list that you can cross reference to see where you’ve been and if you’ve got the Wand Handle you want there.
As we said, for specific assistance, check out our 100% region guides:
Wand Handle Collection Chest #1 - Behind a level 2 locked door in the Hogwarts Dungeons in the basement of the Astronomy Wing.
Wand Handle Collection Chest #2 - In the Gargoyle Room on the ground floor of the Defence Against Dark Arts Tower in the Astronomy Wing.

Wand Handle Collection Chest #5 - Inside Mr Moon’s house, in the ramparts, near the Hogwarts North Exit (Bell Tower Wing).
Wand Handle Collection Chest #6 - From the Bell Tower Courtyard, head up the music tower (past the Scorch Marks) until you hit the music room with the frog choir.

Wand Handle Collection Chest #7 - Inside Professor Black’s Secret Door (above the Trophy Room, near his office). In order to get into the secret door at the end of the corridor near Professor Black’s office, you need to first learn how to pick level 2 and level 3 locks. Then, when you have access to the office (part of the story - namely, “The Polyjuice Plot” main quest), pick the side doors and head up to his study. There, grab The Key of Admittance. This will give you access to that door, and the chest with this wand in.

Wand Handle Collection Chest #14 - By the Jewel-Encrusted Tortoise Shell in the Faculty Tower, there’s a Level 3 locked door. Open it, and take notice of the large fireplace in front of you. Use the Glacius charm to put out the fire, and crawl through the fireplace, and continue up some steps. The collection chest is in the room at the top.
