Hogwarts Legacyplayers will be able to upgrade and customize their brooms, according to the official Wizarding World TikTok account.Brooms are an important staple of theHarry Potterfranchise, with witches and wizards using them for transportation as well as competing in sports like Quidditch.
Quidditch will be not playable inHogwarts Legacy, but that doesn’t mean brooms won’t be featured in the game. It’s long been established thatHogwarts Legacywill let players fly on brooms for transportation purposes. In theHarry Potterbooks and movies, there are a variety of different broom models and types for the characters to choose from, but it seems those playingHogwarts Legacywill not have the same luxury. It’s been confirmed thatHogwarts Legacyplayers will not be able to buy different broomsticks in the game, though it’s not all bad news.

Furthermore, players will be able to assist the shopkeeper by completing missions that in turn allow them to upgrade their broom and improve its versatility. Since brooms seem to be the main method of transportation inHogwarts Legacy, it will definitely be important for players to do this as much as they can.
WhileHogwarts Legacywill let players fly around the school grounds on broomsticks, there will be other modes of transportation in the open worldHarry Pottergame as well.Hogwarts Legacyalso lets players ride on the backs of some magical beasts, including hippogriffs and thestrals. It’s unclear what kind of restrictions may be placed on magical beast mounts inHogwarts Legacywhen compared to using one’s broom, but players should have a much better idea of how it all works when they’re finally exploring open world Hogwarts for themselves.
