A Poachers' House Call

Follow this Hogwarts Legacy guide to help Poppy Sweeting track down poachers who stole her Gran's journals and are after a rare Snidget. Learn about the quest.

Alright, so you've got a side quest called "A Poachers' House Call" that kicks off after some poachers decided to accost Poppy Sweeting's Grandmother. Apparently, they spotted Poppy at Horntail Hall and thought she'd brought a Dragon Egg home. Luckily, she hadn't, and her Gran was safe, but these poachers weren't just after eggs – they ransacked the place and swiped Gran's journals filled with rare creature research!

Poppy figures out the poachers are now after a Snidget, which is basically a tiny, extinct bird with golden feathers and wings that spin. Think of it as the original inspiration for the Golden Snitch, but way faster. These birds are super rare because poachers and wizards hunted them to near extinction for their feathers and eyes, which fetch a high price. Gran's only clue about their location is a cryptic note: "Lay in the moonlight." Poppy, bless her heart, wants to go after them and stop the poachers, even though she knows they'll likely have the upper hand. You suggest teaming up with the Centaurs you met earlier, since they also hate poachers and care about creatures. They agree to help, but Poppy needs a moment to figure out the best way to approach them. Once she says she'll be in touch, this short quest wraps up.
