How to Access the Boarded Door in Hogsmeade

Bad news for Xbox and PC players, the boarded door will remain boarded up to you for quite some time. The boarded door is only accessible for PlayStation players, as it’s tied into a PS-exclusive quest that takes place in the winter season of Hogwarts Legacy.
The PlayStation-exclusive quest is something fans have caught snippets of before, as it was known as the Haunted Hogsmeade quest. It turns out, the quest name is titled “Minding Your Own Business,” and it involves purchasing a shop. There are some bonuses to completing this quest, as you can later sell items and gear for better prices. If interested, the boarded-up shop is located in Hogsmeade directly next to the South Hogsmeade Floo Flame.
