Fortnite has a limited-time free cosmetic tied to Hogwarts Legacy: the Harry Potter-themed Chocolate Frog Back Bling. There are no Fortnite quests to run or in-game checklists to clear. The unlock is handled through your Epic Games account and drops into your locker automatically once you meet the playtime requirement.
How the Chocolate Frog Back Bling unlock works
The requirement is straightforward – claim Hogwarts Legacy on the Epic Games Store and play it for at least two hours before December 18. As long as Hogwarts Legacy and Fortnite are played on the same Epic account, progress is tracked automatically and the back bling is granted to your Fortnite locker.
Note: Delivery isn’t always instant. It can take 24–48 hours after your playtime is confirmed for the item to appear.
Get the Chocolate Frog Back Bling (Epic Games Store method)
Step 1: Claim Hogwarts Legacy from the Epic Games Store while it’s available for free.
Step 2: Launch Hogwarts Legacy and play for at least two hours, using the same Epic account you use for Fortnite.
Step 3: After you hit two hours, wait for the grant to process. The Chocolate Frog Back Bling will be added to your Fortnite locker automatically, and it may take up to 24–48 hours to show up.
If you already played Hogwarts Legacy on Epic
If you previously logged at least two hours in Hogwarts Legacy through Epic, the requirement is already met. In that case, the Chocolate Frog Back Bling should appear in your Fortnite locker after the entitlement is processed, which can still take some time.
Common pitfalls that stop the unlock
- Using different accounts: The playtime check is tied to your Epic Games account, so Hogwarts Legacy and Fortnite need to be on the same one.
- Only claiming the game: Redeeming Hogwarts Legacy isn’t enough by itself; the unlock requires at least two hours of playtime.
- Expecting instant delivery: Even after two hours, the cosmetic can take up to 24–48 hours to arrive.
What’s next for Fortnite’s Harry Potter content
The Chocolate Frog Back Bling arrives alongside teasing for more Wizarding World items in Fortnite. Epic has also signaled that customizable Hogwarts house-themed Outfits are expected to arrive in the Shop later this month.
If the back bling doesn’t appear after you’ve met the two-hour requirement, the most reliable check is whether you played Hogwarts Legacy on the same Epic account you use for Fortnite, then give the grant window time to complete.
