Summary
Broomflight is one of the best things about theHarry Potteruniverse, and it gets no better than inHogwarts Legacywhere players can traverse the entire map on their trusty old brooms. While all the brooms inHogwarts Legacyhave the same stats, they will all benefit from Albie Weekes' innovative upgrades. Mr. Weekes can be found in Hogsmeade at his shop Spintwitches Sporting Needs and players can take part in broom time trials to unlock these upgrades.
At Spintwitches, players will also have a choice of five different brooms all for 600 galleons each, but these are fairly basic and far from the best models. To get their hands on the best-looking brooms in the game and fly around the Scottish Highlands in style, players can complete thePop Balloonschallenges or find Wandering Merchants and spend their hard-earned galleons.
Updated on June 10th, 2024, by Joe Grantham:The brooms in Hogwarts Legacy are naturally some of the most sought-after items in the game, with fans eager to get their hands on the best and fastest. Furthermore, as exciting as other mounts like Hippogriffs and Thestrals are, the flexibility of the broom makes it easilythe best mount in Hogwarts Legacy, especially when fully upgraded by Albie Weekes. With the release of the Summer Update, players now have access totwo new brooms in Hogwarts Legacy, the Lavender Borealis Broom and the Dark Lightning Broom. This is this first time new brooms have been added to the game, taking the total to 15 now, and with that, those two new brooms have been added to this list.
600 Galleons
Bought from Spintwitches Sporting Needs in Hogsmeade
TheMoon Trimmer Broomis one of the five basic brooms available from Albie Weekes for a cheap price, but it is arguably the worst-looking broomstick in the game. With a fairly rudimentary lantern hanging from the handle and nondescript saddlebags on either side of the seat, this broom is built for purpose, not style.
The broom also appears to be second-hand with its previous owner not taking great care of it, and even for 600 Galleons,players can pick up better options.
While the performance of each broomstick inHogwarts Legacyis no different from any other, players certainly won’t feel all that speedy on the chunkyYew Weaver Broom. The broom’s tail is rather large and while this might offer stability and power, it’s hard to imagine it helping with aerodynamics.
However, if players feel this is the broom for them, then thankfully, it can be picked up fairly early on in the game in Hogsmeade at Spintwitches Sporting Needs, along with four other options.
How To Unlock
Free
Pop 7 sets of balloons while on a broom (Pop Balloons Exploration Challenge)
With its padded leather seat and charming basket, theLickety Swift Broomis certainly built for comfort and would be ideal for an aged witch living in a rural village. While this might not be the aesthetic that most adventure seekers are looking for, it might just very well filla niche for certain roleplayers inHogwarts Legacy.
The Lickety Swift Broom appears to be in pretty good condition and can be picked up for free by merely completing the second tier of the Pop Balloons challenge.
TheHogwarts House Broomis the only broom in the game that changes its appearance based on which House the player is in. This means that on second, third, or even fourth playthroughs, players will see different versions of the broom. Outside of this feature, it is far from the best-looking broom, but nonetheless, a solid first option that lets players show off their House pride. Players can also show off their Hogwarts House pride with theirRoom of Requirement design.
This broom, which looks like it has seen better days, and may have been used by many previous students, is one of the five starter brooms that can be purchased from Spintwitches Sporting Needs. Players will only need to spend 600 galleons to purchase this broom.
Despite being one of the starter brooms, purchasable from Spintwitches Sporting Needs for just 600 galleons, theEmber Dash Broomhas a surprisingly interesting design. Naturally, the main point of focus is the tail which is on fire and actually has some great effects mid-flight. There is also a slight heat haze seen around it.
When compared with the other broom to have a fiery tail, the Wild Fire Broom, players will notice that the Ember Dash is much sleeker with a smooth aerodynamic handle that looks ideal for racing.
3000 Galleons
Bought from Rohan Prakash near Maraunweem Bridge or Cragcroftshire
Outside the context of theHarry Potteruniverse, when the image of a witch is conjured it usually includes an old broomstick anda bubbling cauldron full of potions. Thankfully for those wishing to recreate this iconic aesthetic withinHogwarts Legacy, theAeromancer Broomexists.
This wizened old broom with a small cauldron hooked to the handle, can be purchased for 3000 galleons from the Wandering Merchant Rohan Prakash. Mr. Prakash can be found near the Marunweem Bridge as well as in Cragcroftshire.
Pop 17 sets of balloons while on a broom (Pop Balloons Exploration Challenge)
As the in-game description puts it, theWild Fire Broomcaptures an untamed nature. This is easy to understand when looking at the gnarled and knotted handle, which is only outshone by the fiery and ember-filled tail. This tail comes with its own effects, which are similar but slightly better than those of the Ember Dash Broom.
To get hold of the Wild Fire Broom players will have tocomplete Tier III of thePop Balloonschallenge, which means they will need to pop a further ten sets of balloons after already popping seven sets as part of the previous tiers.
Out of the five brooms that can be bought for 600 galleonsfrom Spintwitches Sporting Needs, theWind Wisp Broomis perhaps the most simple, but also the most stylish and unique. As the smallest broom in the game, it is perfect for maintaining a low profile.
It is also a highly practical broom due to the small lantern hanging from the front, making nighttime flights a tad safer. While this broom might look out of place on Imelda Reyes' racecourses, it is a great first broom, especially for the price.
Pop 32 sets of balloons while on a broom (Pop Balloons Exploration Challenge)
TheBright Spark Broomis arguably the hardest broom to acquire as players will need to pop every single ballon set in the game, however, if they manage to find them all, it won’t cost them a single galleon. The first thing players will notice about this broom are the two stars dangling from the handle, a feature that may put some off this otherwise stylish broom.
The unique angled shape of the tail also catches the eye and fits in perfectly with the metal-adorned seat and handle. One of the best things about the Bright Spark Broom and one of the manysmall details that makeHogwarts Legacyso beautifulis that a trail of small stars can be seen flowing out the back of the broom in flight. This is particularly visible at night.
2500 Galleons
Bought from Priya Treadwell, south of Hogwarts
With a wild tail of untended twigs and a handle that appears to have been snapped off a tree, theFamily Antique Broommight not be for everyone, but for those looking tocomplete their rustic 19th-century aesthetic, it is beyond perfect.
Its natural design, or in fact lack of design, might not fit in on the Quidditch pitch, but it looks great when roaming the rugged countryside. This treasured family heirloom can be bought for 2500 galleons from the Wandering Merchant, Priya Treadwell south of Hogwarts, who players might recall as the wife of historian Nora Treadwell.
