Whilst a lot of the marketing material for Hogwarts Legacy featured you flying around Hogwarts Castle on a broomstick, you actually don’t get to fly on a broomstick until roughly 8-10 hours in the game.
We know that without doubt that one of the first things that people will want to be doing in the game is flying around Hogwarts, so this guide tells you how you get the broomstick and when you can expect to start flying around the Wizarding World.
HOW TO UNLOCK THE BROOMSTICK IN HOGWARTS LEGACY AND START FLYING
At about 8 or so hours into the game, you’ll be able to get the broomstick and fly by completing a main story quest. It’s the 19th story quest in the game to be specific.
Once you have completed the Jackdaw’s Rest quest, you will receive a quest called Flying Class. During this quest, you’ll get a flying lesson from Madam Kogawa, where you’ll be able to tour the castle by air where you’ll be taught the basics of flying.
After the quest is finished, you’ll be able to head to Spintwitches in Hogsmeade and purchase a broom for 600 gold. There’s no way to get a broomstick initially for free, so if you’ve spent your money, you’ll need to sell some gear or find a chest to unlock gold.
As far as brooms go, they all have the same performance, but look differently. Any upgrades that you unlock throughout the story will affect al of the brooms that you own, so think of any additional purchases as skins.
Amazon has the cheapest price for Hogwarts Legacy at $79 including free delivery. It’s out on February 10th or PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, or you can get the Digital Deluxe Edition right now. It’s out in April for PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
