Hogwarts Legacy gives you a huge world to explore as you spend your time at Hogwarts and take down a Goblin rebellion. Full of small towns and villages, the map can feel daunting at first to navigate.
While running is certainly an option, the game doesn’t want you to have to spend an hour just getting to your next location, which is why it gives you a couple of options for traversal.

How To Get Brooms
So it’s no surprise when the game hands you one of the Wizarding World’s most iconic vehicles to use: a broom. A broom is the very first mode of transportation that you’ll get in Hogwarts Legacy, and as with any good RPG, there are a handful of options for you to choose from, 13 to be exact. While you will only have a handful to choose from when you are first given the option, as you progress in the game, you will unlock more and more brooms for you to ride.
There are a total of 13 brooms to collect in the game, with there are two specific ways to get them:
- Vendors: these 9 brooms can be purchased from various character vendors around the game’s world. Some vendors, however, will only be available once you have reached a certain point in the story or completed specific tasks.
- Challenges: these 4 brooms are unlocked by completing the Balloon Cluster challenges you can find around the world. Simply fly through these balloons to pop them, and when they’re all gone. If you are able to complete all 32 Balloon Clusters, these brooms are yours.
The Balloon Cluster challenges can be found on your map, but the vendors can be a little tricky to find, which is why this guide lays out each of their locations, as well as the special brooms that you can purchase from them.
All Spintwitches Sporting Needs
The easiest broom vendor that you can find in the game is this shop in Hogsmeade. It’s also where the game’s story will take you to unlock your first broom after completing the first flying class with Professor Kogawa. The game asks you to only choose one broom to continue, but you can purchase all of them to finish your collection.
The brooms you can buy here are:
- Ember Dash
- Hogwarts House
- Moon Trimmer
- Wind Wisp
- Yew Weaver
These brooms are also the cheapest ones in the game (well, besides the ones you unlock for free with the Balloon Clusters), coming in at 600 Galleons each.
Arn
Arn is one of the vendors you can find out in the world of Hogwarts Legacy, and can be found just south of Hogwarts itself. You will only be able to purchase the Silver Arrow Broom from this goblin once you have completed the Tomes and Tribulations main quest, which comes after you break into the Restricted Section of the Library, as well as the Carted Away side quest.
The Silver Arrow Broom will require to shell out 5,000 Galleons.
Leopold Babcocke
Leopold Babcocke can be found close to Hogsmeade, roughly east/northeast of the village, by Hogsmeade Station. You won’t need to accomplish any specific tasks to unlock Leopold, so you can head over to him to purchase the Sky Scythe Broom.
The Sky Scythe Broom is going to cost you 5,000 Galleons.
Priya Treadwell
You can find Priya Treadwell along the southern cliffs of the Feldcroft Region, southwest of Irondale. Her store is close to a Battle Arena, and doesn’t require you to have finished a specific mission or task.
Priya will sell you the Antique Family Broom for 2,500 Galleons.
Rohan Prakash
The final broom vendor to find is Rohan Prokash, who resides in the southeast area of the map, on the border between Poidsear Coast and Marunweem Lake. You will be able to access this area of the map from the very beginning, but you will have to place a marker in that region and then go there on foot so the waypoint will guide you. If you try to travel there via broom, you won’t see the path laid out for you. It has you go through the Coastal Cavern, and once you’ve done that, you can unlock a Floo Flame to easily fast travel there in the future.
Once you find Rohan, you can purchase the Aeromancer Broom for 3,000 Galleons.
