This Hogwarts Legacy Mod Adds a Challenging Nighttime Curfew
For many players, the fantasy of attending Hogwarts was always about the freedom to explore its enchanted halls and secret passages. A new popular mod for the game on PC, however, introduces a dose of magical reality: a strict nighttime curfew enforced by a squad of vigilant prefects.

The mod, aptly named ‘Hogwarts Legacy: Night Curfew‘ and created by modder nathdev, completely transforms the after-hours experience in the game. It introduces 24 new custom prefects into the castle, all tasked with one job: ensuring students are in their beds between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m.
The mod’s lore is simple and effective: “Phineas Black had enough of you and instated a curfew inside the castle. Now prefects will try to catch you between the curfew hours.” This turns nighttime exploration into a thrilling game of cat and mouse, fulfilling a classic Harry Potter fantasy while adding a significant layer of challenge.
If you are spotted by a prefect during curfew, the consequences are swift. You’ll be immediately sent back to your house dormitory and slapped with a fine of 100 knuts, creating a tangible penalty for getting caught.
This isn’t just about punishment; it’s about strategy. The mod encourages players to use their wits and magical abilities to avoid detection. You’ll need to keep a constant eye on your minimap for patrol routes and use the Disillusionment spell to become nearly invisible. Alternatively, you can cast a generic spell at a distant wall or floor to create a noise distraction, luring prefects away from your intended path.
The mod has been updated recently to make the challenge even greater. Players may now also run into teachers on patrol, and even more prefects have been added to the roster, making a simple nighttime stroll a genuinely tense stealth mission.
For players who felt the castle lacked this specific element of danger and rule-breaking excitement, this mod is a perfect and free solution. It injects a fresh shot of adrenaline and realism into the game, demanding patience and cleverness from would-be rule-breakers.
