Hogwarts Legacy Broom Flying: How to get a broom

After you begin The First Keeper Trial, which is a main quest that you’ll be directed to as you play through the main game, you’ll be directed to your first flying lesson.

Go to the lawn next to the school, and you’ll be directed by Madam Kogawa to fly through some rings, which take you around the school.

Once you’ve done that, you’ll then be able to travel to Hogsmeade in order to buy your first broom. You have a few options for your first broom, more of which open up as you play through the game.

Sadly no Nimbus 2000s or Firebolts, but there are plenty of cosmetic options for how you’d like your broom to look, some of which even change depending on which house you’re in, as they use your house colors as a base.

While there aren’t any other flying lessons from Madam Kogawa, she is able to teach you a few spells if you stick to her assignments, more of which will unlock as you play through the main quests.

You’ll also notice that once you’re able to fly, balloons will appear above certain landmarks on the world map. You can pop these for experience points.
