Fortnite has now collided with the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, not through a cosmetic drop or purchase within Fortnite, but through a limited promotion in connection with the release of Hogwarts Legacy. Epic Games is giving players a free copy of the Chocolate Frog Back Bling in Fortnite as a prize for interacting with the release of Hogwarts Legacy on the Epic Games Store. This article shows how to claim your own copy for free.

Limited-Time Offer
Epic Games is giving away Hogwarts Legacy for free on the Epic Games Store, but only for a limited period that closes on December 18, 2025.
Players who join and play the game for a minimum of two hours before this deadline are eligible to win the Chocolate Frog Back Bling in Fortnite.
Account Requirements
Hogwarts Legacy must be added and played through the Epic Games Store using the same Epic Games account that is linked to Fortnite.
Multiple sessions can be counted as playtime.
Players who already have at least two hours of Hogwarts Legacy recorded in the Epic Games Store before the promotion starts are automatically eligible, and no more playtime is required.
How to Unlock the Chocolate Frog Back Bling
Here’s the confirmed process players must undertake to acquire the Chocolate Frog Back Bling:
- First, sign in to your Epic Games with the same account that you use for Fortnite.
- Claim Hogwarts Legacy from the Epic Games Store while the free offer is active until December 18, 2025.
- Launch Hogwarts Legacy through the Epic Games Launcher.
- Play the game for a total of two hours.
- After playtime is confirmed, the Chocolate Frog Back Bling will be sent automatically to your Fortnite Locker.
Note: It might take 24 to 48 hours for the Back Bling to appear in Fortnite.
Important Timing & Restrictions

The back bling will be unlocked through playing Hogwarts Legacy before December 18, 2025. Any progress earned after that date will not be considered for the unlock.
This is exclusive to the Epic Games Store playtime system. Having a copy of Hogwarts Legacy on other platforms would not count unless it is linked to the same Epic account.
Players are advised to make sure that Fortnite and Hogwarts Legacy are on the same account to avoid missing the reward.
Conclusion
The Fortnite Chocolate Frog Back Bling is a legitimate, free cosmetic which players can unlock by interacting with the Epic Games Store’s Hogwarts Legacy. It is easy to take advantage of this promotion, as the game is currently free to claim and the deadline is easy to track.
