You're standing in the middle of Hogsmeade, the wind is whistling through those crooked chimneys, and your Revelio spell is pinging like crazy. It’s frustrating. You know there’s a page nearby, but no matter how many times you mash that button, the gold outline won't show up. Finding all the Hogwarts Legacy Hogsmeade field guide pages is basically a rite of passage for completionists, but honestly, some of them are tucked away in spots that feel borderline unfair.
Hogsmeade is different from the castle. In Hogwarts, you've got sprawling staircases and moving paintings. In the village, it's all about shop interiors and those pesky flying pages that love to hover just out of reach. There are 55 pages in total here. That sounds like a lot because it is. You aren't just looking for the ones that fly around; you’re looking for "Revelio Pages" that reveal lore, Moth Mirrors, and those Levioso statues that look like they’re judging your spell-casting ability.
Why Some Hogsmeade Pages Just Don't Show Up
Most players hit a wall around 50 or 52 pages. You’ve checked the Three Broomsticks. You’ve been to Honeydukes. You’ve even poked around the Graveyard. So, what’s missing? Usually, it's the Accio pages. Unlike the Revelio pages, these don't stay still. They fly in loops high above the buildings. If you aren't looking up at the sky near the waterwheel or the outskirts of town, you’re going to miss them.
Then there are the Moth Mirrors. These are technically part of the field guide count in the regional map, but they don't always trigger the way you'd expect. You need Lumos to lead the moth back, but if you’re in combat or trigger a cutscene, the moth can glitch out. It’s annoying. I've spent twenty minutes circling the Old Fool shop just because a moth decided to clip through a wall.
The Shop Crawl Strategy
If you want to be efficient, start with the shops. Every major named establishment in Hogsmeade has at least one Revelio page. Honeydukes has several, including the one for the Fizzing Whizzbees and the shop itself. Don't just walk in and out. Walk behind the counter. Check the back rooms. Developers at Avalanche Software hidden these things in corners that you’d normally ignore if you were just trying to buy some Mallowsweet seeds.
The Three Broomsticks is a goldmine. You have the main floor, but people often forget the upper rooms. There's a page right by the fireplace on the ground floor, but there's also the private room upstairs that requires a bit of lockpicking. If you haven't upgraded your Alohomora yet, don't even bother trying to 100% Hogsmeade. You need Level 3 Lockpicking to access everything. That’s just the reality of the game’s progression.
The Sneaky Flying Pages
Flying pages are the worst. You see them, you try to aim, and they zip behind a roof. The trick here is positioning. Use your broom. Even though you can't fly inside the main village streets, you can hover on the outskirts to get a bird’s-eye view of the flight paths.
Look at the space behind Gaunt's Rags. There’s often one circling there. Check the river. There’s a page that follows the water flow near the bridge leading to the Magic Neep. It’s easy to miss because the water texture can camouflage the white parchment if the lighting is hitting it a certain way.
- Stand still.
- Listen for the "chime" sound.
- Look up.
Seriously, the audio design in Hogwarts Legacy is your best tool. That high-pitched shimmering sound means a page is nearby. If the sound is sharp, it’s a Revelio page. If it’s slightly more rhythmic, it’s likely a flying page or a moth mirror nearby.
Butterbeer and Bronze Records
Did you find the Butterbeer Barrels? It’s one of those Revelio pages that feels obvious once you find it but is remarkably easy to walk past. It’s right outside the Three Broomsticks. Most people are so focused on getting inside to see Sirona Ryan that they ignore the massive wooden barrels sitting right there.
Then there’s the Hog's Head. It’s grimy, it’s dark, and it has one of the coolest pages in the game behind the bar. You have to walk behind the bartender—who doesn't seem to care about boundaries—to find the page about the Hog's Head Still.

Beyond the Village Square
The outskirts of Hogsmeade hold the last few stragglers. The Magic Neep is way out on the west side. People go there for seeds and then fast-travel away. Don't do that. There’s a page right by the vendor and another flying over the nearby bridge.
The Old Fool is another one. It’s that abandoned-looking building up the hill. Most players only go there during specific side quests, but there are multiple collectibles tied to that specific location. If you’re stuck at 54/55, I’d bet my last Galleon it’s either at the Old Fool or the Waterwheel.
Technical Glitches and Tracking
Sometimes, the game just lies to you. There has been a known bug since launch where the counter for Hogwarts Legacy Hogsmeade field guide pages might say you’re missing one, even if you’ve collected them all. This usually happens with the flying pages. If you Accio a page and get hit by an enemy or fall off a ledge at the exact same time, the game might count the collection but not update the UI.
To check if you're actually glitched, look at your Collections menu rather than the map counter. The Collections menu tracks unique Revelio pages. If all the Hogsmeade-specific lore entries are filled out, you’ve got the important ones. The flying pages and braziers don't have unique names, so they are the ones that usually cause the numbering headaches.
Mastery of the Revelio Range
Your Talent points matter here. If you haven't invested in the Revelio Mastery talent in the Core tree, you're playing on hard mode. This talent significantly increases the range of the spell. In a dense area like Hogsmeade, this is the difference between seeing a gold glow through three walls or having to stand directly on top of the object.
It’s basically essential. Without it, you’ll find yourself doing laps around the same three buildings. With it, you can stand in the Town Circle and see almost everything in the immediate vicinity.
Practical Steps for Your Next Session
Stop wandering aimlessly. It wastes time. If you want to finish the Hogsmeade collection, follow this specific circuit:
Start at the North Hogsmeade Floo Flame. Work your way through the shops in a clockwise circle. Hit Scrivenshaft's, move to Honeydukes, then head up toward the Stonewell area. Once you’ve cleared the interiors, switch to your "sky view." Walk the perimeter of the village and look inward toward the rooftops for those flying pages.
Don't forget the Confringo braziers. There aren't many in Hogsmeade compared to the castle, but there's one near the water and one tucked by the bridge that requires a quick fire spell to release the page.
If you’re still missing that one final page, go back to the Tomes and Scrolls shop. There’s a specific interaction with a book stand inside that many people trigger once and then forget. Also, check the Abandoned Shop near the South entrance. It’s small, but it’s a classic "hidden in plain sight" spot.
Once you hit 55, the challenge is over. You get the XP, you get the completed challenge in your guide, and you can finally stop hearing that "ding" in your sleep. Clear the shops first, upgrade your Revelio range, and always, always look at the sky.
