Anne Sallow

Anne Sallow is a character featured in the narrative of Hogwarts Legacy (video game). She is a young witch, the twin sister of Slytherin student Sebastian Sallow, and the niece of former Auror Solomon Sallow (video game). Anne's primary significance in the story revolves around a debilitating curse of unknown origin that afflicts her, causing her chronic pain and weakness (video game). Her brother's desperate and increasingly dark search for a cure forms a major, tragic storyline within the game's narrative (video game).

Anne Sallow was a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry before a mysterious malady forced her to withdraw from her studies (video game). The affliction, which manifests as agonizing episodes of pain, was the result of a curse cast upon her by Rookwood's men in her home hamlet of Feldcroft when she was a young girl (video game). After leaving Hogwarts, she resided in Feldcroft under the care of her uncle, Solomon Sallow (video game). Throughout the story, Anne’s condition visibly worsens (video game). Her brother, Sebastian Sallow, becomes obsessed with finding a cure, believing that the secrets of the Dark Arts hold the answer (video game). Anne, along with her uncle, strongly disapproves of this path, fearing the corrupting influence of such magic (video game). Despite her suffering, she often tries to reassure Sebastian and urges him to abandon his dangerous quest (video game). Sebastian’s pursuit of a cure leads him to explore Salazar Slytherin's Scriptorium and use forbidden magic, including the Unforgivable Curse Crucio, which he rationalizes as necessary to understand the curse afflicting Anne (video game). The family's conflict culminates in a tragic confrontation in the catacomb beneath Feldcroft (video game). When Solomon Sallow attempts to destroy a dark relic Sebastian believes can save Anne, Sebastian casts the Killing Curse, Avada Kedavra, murdering his uncle in a fit of rage (video game). Witnessing this event, Anne is horrified and utterly broken (video game). She rejects the relic and her brother, destroying the Inferi it created and declaring her relationship with Sebastian to be over (video game). She expresses her intent to write to the Ministry of Magic to report her uncle's death, leaving Sebastian's fate uncertain and her own future lonely and unresolved (video game).

Anne is depicted as having a pale, sallow complexion, a direct result of her chronic illness (video game). She has dark hair and a frail build, often appearing tired and in pain (video game). Despite her physical suffering, Anne possesses a gentle, kind, and resilient personality (video game). She is patient with her twin brother's obsessive efforts, even when she disagrees with his methods (video game). However, she also has a firm moral compass, unequivocally condemning the use of the Dark Arts (video game). Her love for her family is evident, but it is tragically fractured by Sebastian's actions, revealing a core of strength as she ultimately rejects him to honor her uncle's memory and principles (video game).

As a former Hogwarts student, Anne possesses foundational magical abilities (video game). However, due to the severity of her curse, she is unable to practice magic regularly and is not seen casting many spells (video game). Her brother Sebastian notes that she was a talented witch before her health deteriorated (video game). In a moment of extreme distress, she was able to summon enough power to destroy a horde of Inferi with a single, powerful blast of magic (video game).

• Wand: As a witch, Anne presumably owns a wand, though it is not seen or described in detail (video game).
• Residence: She resides in a cottage in the hamlet of Feldcroft with her uncle (video game).

• Sebastian Sallow: Her twin brother (video game). They share a deep and loving bond, which serves as the primary motivation for Sebastian's actions (video game). This relationship is tragically severed when Sebastian murders their uncle, causing Anne to disown him completely (video game).
• Ominis Gaunt: A close family friend and classmate of Sebastian's (video game). Ominis is deeply loyal to Anne and shares her concerns about Sebastian's descent into the Dark Arts, often trying to intervene (video game).
• Solomon Sallow: Her uncle and guardian (video game). He is fiercely protective of Anne but is strict and unyielding in his opposition to the Dark Arts, which puts him in direct conflict with his nephew, Sebastian, with fatal consequences (video game).
• The Protagonist: The player's character becomes a friend to both Anne and Sebastian (video game). Anne confides in the protagonist and is grateful for their attempts to help, but is ultimately unable to be saved from her family's tragic implosion (video game).

• Anne: A name of Hebrew origin, meaning “grace” or “favor.” This can be seen as an ironic contrast to her cursed and unfortunate circumstances.
• Sallow: An English adjective meaning “of an unhealthy yellow or pale brown color,” which directly describes the sickly complexion caused by her chronic illness (video game).

Anne Sallow is a character created exclusively for the 2023 video game Hogwarts Legacy and does not appear in the seven original Harry Potter novels by J.K. Rowling, nor in the film adaptations or other supplementary materials. Her storyline is one of the game's central and most emotionally resonant plots (video game). She is voiced by actress Moira Quirk (video game).
