Obtaining Hogwarts Legacy’s flying brooms is pretty straightforward, but you’ll need to be prepared if you want to use it right away. Here’s what you need to do in order to get a flying broom in Hogwarts Legacy.

Hogwarts Legacy: How to Get the Flying Broom

To gain the ability to own a flying broom for yourself, you’ll need to play through the main quests until you have to take Flying Class. This class, as the name suggests, goes through the basics of flying with a Flying Broom. In-game, you’ll learn about the Flying Broom’s controls, how to ascend and descend, and so on. As part of the tutorial, you’ll also have to fly through a course where you must pass through rings to proceed.

Once you finish this class, you’ll finally gain the ability to obtain Flying Brooms. You actually don’t get one for free, and instead have to purchase one at Spintwitches Sporting Needs in Hogsmeade. Do note that this shop is actually closed until you finish Flying Class, so you can’t unlock it early even if you have the Galleons to buy one.

Upon reaching Spintwitches Sporting Needs, you’ll be greeted by Albie Weekes, who introduces you to various Flying Broom designs. These brooms vary in shape and style, but they’re all functionally the same, with the only differences being cosmetic.

Each broom costs you 600 Galleons, and you can buy more than one if you’d like. You can also upgrade these brooms by taking on a side quest that has you do time trials against another Hogwarts student, Iselda Reyes. Simply continue talking to Albie when you first reach the shop and he’ll unlock the necessary quest for you.

Hogwarts Legacy can feel a little slow for a while due to brooms being something you unlock later in the game, but once you do so, you’ll be able to explore the area surrounding Hogwarts and Hogsmeade to its fullest. For more Hogwarts Legacy guides, click here.
