Hogwarts Legacytells the story of a fifth-year student during their time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. While studying for their OWLs should be the priority, players can feel free to explore the game’s vast world to their heart’s content by any means they want to. That said, exploring can be quite a tedious process without a broom or a mount.
Players can obtain up tofifteen unique broomswhile playingHogwarts Legacy. While the majority of them can be purchased from various vendors scattered across the world, some brooms can only be acquired by completing challenges. These brooms are arguably the most difficult to get, but those short on Galleons may also struggle with affording the more accessible ones.
Updated June 20, 2025, by Justin Flynn:The size of Hogwarts Legacy’s open world can seem somewhat intimidating during the early hours of one’s playthrough, but this will become less of an issue once players gain access to a broom. With a broom (or a mount), players will be able to traverse the Scottish Highlands with tremendous ease, and they will even be able to reach areas that they previously would not have been able to. With rumors currently circulating about Hogwarts Legacy DLC being in development, there has never been a better time to jump back into the Wizarding World and re-familiarize oneself with the game’s mechanics. For those who failed toget all the brooms in Hogwarts Legacyduring their first playthrough, this can serve as their chance to try again.
How To Unlock Broom Flight In Hogwarts Legacy
Players will acquire their first broom after completingHogwarts Legacy’s sixteenth main quest,Flying Class. This quest can be started by traveling tothe Flying Class Lawn Floo Flame, just outsidethe Bell Tower Wing, and interacting with the glowing circle on the ground. If players arrive at class in the middle of the night,they can advance timeby selecting the"Wait"command in the Map menu.
After the protagonist successfully summons a broom to their hand, they will mount it, and Madam Kogawa will command them to fly through three separate rings.
Once all three rings have been flown through, the protagonist will be tasked with flying away from the courtyard and flying through another series of rings. This part of the quest tasks players with familiarizing themselves with the mechanics of flying and challenges them to think on their feet or, in this case, on their broom.
Everett Clopton will join the protagonist during the challenge and will offer to take them on a brief detour if they wish to see more of what Hogwarts has to offer. When the tour ends, both students will return to the Flying Class Lawn, and Madam Kogawa will scold them for disobeying her instructions.
When the class ends, Everett Clopton will inform the protagonist that Albie Weekes is always looking for students to test out his latest brooms. Those who wish to take to the sky as quickly as possible should then set off to his store,Spintwitches Sporting Needs, inHogsmeadetobuy their first broom.

Others, however, are available for purchase from various merchants throughout the world, but amassing the necessary funds to purchase them all can prove difficult. To further complicate things, some of the merchants who sell these brooms can be a little hard to find inHogwarts Legacy’s vast open world, and one particular shopkeeper won’t even sell the broom they have to the player unless they have completed a specific side quest.

How To Upgrade Brooms In Hogwarts Legacy
Owning all brooms inHogwarts Legacyis one thing, but upgrading them is something else entirely. Though it may initially seem like a pretty long process,upgrading one broom automatically upgrades them all, even the brooms players have yet to acquire. This can make the process of upgrading all brooms much more bearable.
Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to fully upgrade a broom the moment one is acquired, as certain quests need to be completed before each upgrade becomes available. Albie Weekes will provide the protagonist withthree upgradesfor their broom, but he only does so after players have reached specific points inHogwarts Legacy’s main story.
The First Broom Upgrade
Players will unlock their first broom upgrade after they have purchased a broom from Albie Weekes and completedthe Flight Test side quest. This quest becomes available immediately after the protagonist purchases their first broom; once it begins, players must head tothe Quidditch Pitchat Hogwarts and speak toImelda Reyes.
Imelda will challenge the protagonist to aflying race, and if players complete the course in undertwo minutes and twenty seconds, they will beat her score. The quest can then be completed by returning to Spintwitches Sporting Needs and speaking with Albie Weekes.
The first broom upgrade can be purchased from Spintwitches Sporting Needs for1,000 GalleonsafterPercival Rackham’s Trialhas been completed.
The Second Broom Upgrade
To unlock the second broom upgrade, players will need to completethe Sweeping the Competition side questand best Imelda Reyes in another race. This side quest becomes available after completingPercival Rackham’s Trialandpurchasing the first broom upgrade. Upon beginning it, Albie Weekes will point the protagonist in the direction ofIrondale, where Imelda is waiting to challenge her fellow students to a race.
To beat Imelda’s score this time, players must complete the race in undertwo minutes and twenty-sixseconds, after which they can return to Albie Weekes to speak with him to end the quest.
Once players complete theIn the Shadow of the Minequest, they will receive an owl from Albie, asking the protagonist to return to the store to purchase the second broom upgrade for4,000 Galleons.
The Third Broom Upgrade
Players will acquire the third and final broom upgrade after theycomplete The Sky is the Limit, a side quest that unlocksafter purchasing the second broom upgradefrom Albie Weekes. Like with the previous two upgrades, players must compete in a race against Imelda to acquire it.
To begin the race, players must travelwest of the Clagmar Coast Floo Flameand speak to Imelda, who will then challenge the protagonist to compete in the most difficult race so far. To win, players must finish the race in undertwo minutes and forty-two seconds.
If the race is won, Imelda will congratulate the protagonist for their performance; to complete the quest, the player must return to Spintwitches Sporting Needs and speak to Albie Weekes. Albie Weekes will later send an owl to inform the protagonist that their broom upgrade is ready. When players are ready to get it, they can return to Spintwitches Sporting Needs to purchase it for7,500 Galleons.
Each broom upgrade, when purchased, willimprove the broom’s speed and acceleration, allowing players to hold down the boost button for much longer. Though the boost meter will eventually deplete if it’s used for too long, the speed at which a fully upgraded broom’s boost meter refills allows players to start boosting again almost immediately.
Players who wish to boost indefinitelycan also do so by flying close to the ground and holding the boost button, as doing so will prevent the boost meter from depleting.
