This Hogwarts Legacy guide explains how to use a broom to travel.

After months of waiting, Hogwarts Legacy has arrived on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. The game is proving to be a massive hit with Potter fans as they eagerly get stuck into life at the legendary school.

In Hogwarts Legacy, players join the eponymous school as a fifth-year student in the 1890s. The game takes place a whole century before the Harry Potter novels and films. And this allows it to tell its own story about “a dangerous journey to uncover a hidden truth of the wizarding world.”

Hogwarts Legacy is an immersive RPG that allows players to experience life as a real student. You can create your own witch or wizard, pick your own wand, and even choose one of Hogwarts’ four houses.

Once you’ve settled into the mythical school of witchcraft and wizardry, you are free to explore, attend classes, learn spells, and discover everything the Wizarding World has to offer.

One thing that had fans really excited about this was the prospect of flying through the skies around Hogwarts on a broomstick.

Flying a broom is essential for quickly traversing the game’s huge map. But, once you have one, you need to know how to equip it.

And even though the game does tell you how to do it, it can be easily missed or forgotten.

Check out the steps below if you want to find out how to use a broom in Hogwarts Legacy.

How To Use Broom In Hogwarts Legacy

Before you can use a broom, there are few things you must do first.

You need to have completed the “Flying Class” main quest. Madam Kogawa will teach you how to fly during this quest. You’ll then be instructed to visit Spintwitches Sporting Needs in Hogsmeade to buy a broomstick for yourself.
