Although quidditch was banned by Headmaster Black, you can still fly wherever you want in the world of Hogwarts Legacy. The world outside of Hogwarts is huge, so you’ll definitely need a broom to get around. Unfortunately, you don’t start out with a broom when you arrive, but you do get one fairly soon! Read on to learn when you can ride a broom in Hogwarts Legacy and what all of the brooms look like.
When can I ride a broom in Hogwarts Legacy?
After completing the main story quest “Jackdaw’s Rest,” you’ll receive the quest “Flying Class.” If you were to only complete main story line quests, you would find these quests fairly early on. It is possible to learn how to ride a broom in your first few hours of Hogwarts Legacy.
All of the brooms in Hogwarts Legacy
There are a total of 13 brooms in Hogwarts Legacy, and all of them have the same speed. None are faster than the others; the only difference you’ll find between brooms is a matter of appearance.

How do I upgrade my broom in Hogwarts Legacy?
After purchasing your first broom, you’ll start a series of side quests given by Albie Weekes at Spintwitches Sporting Needs, which can be found in Hogsmeade. In these side quests, you’ll test your broom upgrades against Imelda Reyes, a Slytherin student, in a series of time trials. To easily beat Imelda’s times, make sure to fly through the golden bubbles as you progress through the race. These bubbles will refill your boost meter and increase your speed for a short period of time.
After you complete the time trials, return to Albie Weekes, and he’ll begin working on the next broom upgrade. You’ll need to complete three time trials to unlock the ability to purchase the three broom upgrades. These upgrades will increase the speed for every broom you own, not just the one that you have equipped. Check out the table below to see when you can upgrade your broom, and how much it costs to upgrade it.
