Hogwarts Legacy: Every Broom, Ranked

Broom flight is one of the best things about the Harry Potter universe, and it gets no better than in Hogwarts Legacy where players can traverse the entire map on their trusty old brooms. While all the brooms in Hogwarts Legacy have 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 the Pop Balloons challenges or find Wandering Merchants and spend their hard-earned galleons.

Updated on November 16, 2023, 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. Furthermore, as exciting as other mounts such as Hippogriffs and Thestrals are, the flexibility of the broom makes it the best mount in Hogwarts Legacy, especially when fully upgraded by Albie Weekes. With the release of the game on Nintendo Switch, there are now more players taking to the skies of the Scottish Highlands than ever before and players just getting to grips with the game will be wondering how to get the best brooms in Hogwarts Legacy.

13 Moon Trimmer Broom

Safe Family Traveling Broomstick

The Moon Trimmer Broom is 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.

12 Yew Weaver Broom

Family Traveling ​​​Broomstick

While the performance of each broomstick in Hogwarts Legacy is no different from any other, players certainly won’t feel super speedy on the chunky Yew 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.

11 Lickety Swift Broom

Fancy Traveling Broomstick

With its padded leather seat and charming basket, the Lickety Swift Broom is 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 fill a niche for certain roleplayers in Hogwarts 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.

10 Hogwarts House Broom

Quidditch Broomstick

The Hogwarts House Broom is 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 their Room 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.

9 Ember Dash Broom

Adventurer’s Broomstick

Despite being one of the starter brooms, purchasable from Spintwitches Sporting Needs for just 600 galleons, the Ember Dash Broom has 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.

8 Aeromancer Broom

Traveling Potioneer’s Broomstick

Outside the context of the Harry Potter universe, when the image of a witch is conjured it usually includes an old broomstick and a bubbling cauldron full of potions. Thankfully for those wishing to recreate this iconic aesthetic within Hogwarts Legacy, the Aeromancer Broom exists.

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.

7 Wild Fire Broom

Adventurer’s Broomstick

As the in-game description puts it, the Wild Fire Broom captures 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 to complete Tier III of the Pop Balloons challenge, which means they will need to pop a further ten sets of balloons after already popping seven sets as part of the previous tiers.

6 Wind Wisp Broom

Safe Traveling Broomstick

Out of the five brooms that can be bought for 600 galleons from Spintwitches Sporting Needs, the Wind Wisp is 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.

5 Bright Spark Broom

Nighttime Traveler’s Broomstick

The Bright Spark Broom is 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 many small details that make Hogwarts Legacy so beautiful is that a trail of small stars can be seen flowing out the back of the broom in flight. This is particularly visible at night.

4 Family Antique Broom

Everyday Use Broomstick

With a wild tail of untended twigs and a handle that appears to have been snapped off a tree, the Family Antique Broom might not be for everyone, but for those looking to complete 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.

3 Night Dancer Broom

Fancy Traveling Broomstick

For the sleekest broom in all of Hogwarts Legacy, look no further than the Night Dancer Broom, which would look at home even on a modern Quidditch pitch. Its tail is banded in silver for both style and speed, and the slim and straight handle gives it a professional feel. The only downside is that the broom is fairly small, especially when compared with the Silver Arrow Broom.

The best thing about the Night Dancer Broom is that it is free and extremely easy to unlock. Players simply have to pop two sets of balloons, which they will have to do anyway as part of Madam Kogawa’s assignment. Just remember to actually unlock it on the Challenges page once complete.

2 Sky Scythe Broom

Quidditch & Racing Broomstick

The Sky Scythe is the most luxurious broomstick in the game and its green twigged tail makes it perfect for those looking to show off their Slytherin pride. Unlike other brooms, the Sky Scythe’s seat and handle are both intricately designed, with the latter ending in a stylish flourish.

RELATED: The Darkest Things In Hogwarts Legacy

Priced at 5000 galleons it is the joint most expensive broom in Hogwarts Legacy and can be purchased from the Wandering Merchant Leopolde Babcocke, who can be found at various locations north of Hogwarts.

1 Silver Arrow Broom

Quidditch Broomstick

As Hogwarts Legacy is set around a century before the events of the main Harry Potter series, by which time broom craft had become more refined, there is only one broom that diehard book fans will recognize. The Silver Arrow is the broom that Madam Hooch learned to fly on, and it is easy to imagine many Quidditch players of the era making a name for themselves atop this impressive broom.

The silver metal and light-colored tail add a professional element to the broom and the spike would certainly deter the opposing player from getting too close. To get their hands on Leonard Jewkes’ famous design, players will not only have to fork out 5000 galleons but also complete a side quest. By helping out the goblin Arn in the Carted Away quest, they will then have the option to purchase the broom from him in Lower Hogsfield.
