Can you become a vampire lord after rejecting Harkon?

Yes, you can still become a Vampire Lord after rejecting Harkon‘s offer, as Serana will offer to turn you into a vampire numerous times throughout the Dawnguard DLC, granting you the Vampire Lord spell. This option allows you to change your mind and become a Vampire Lord later on, even if you initially refused Harkon‘s offer, providing flexibility in your character’s development and storyline.
