Flying above the ramparts of Hogwarts, wind whistling through one's robes, is a moment every young witch or wizard remembers with a shudder of delight. In Hogwarts Legacy, earning a broom unlocks a whole new dimension of exploration, yet the sheer number of choices can be as overwhelming as a Niffler in a vault of gold. Thirteen distinct brooms await, each with its own personality, pedigree, and polish. To help aspiring fliers decide which stick deserves a spot in their hands, this guide ranks them from the mundane to the magnificent, offering a closer look at design, price, and the journey required to earn them.

🏁 The Bottom of the Broomstick

13. Yew Weaver – The Most Basic Design

The Yew Weaver sits at the bottom of the pile, resembling a plain rehearsal stick rather than a showpiece. Its woven design is pleasant enough, but next to more flamboyant models, it looks as ordinary as a blank parchment in an exhibition of illuminated manuscripts. Purchased from Spintwitches Sporting Needs for 600 Galleons, it serves its purpose as a comfortable, speedy broom, yet offers little to make the heart race. The in-game description promises "a comfortable and speedy broom with a unique woven design," but comfort alone cannot lift it above the competition.

12. Moon Trimmer – Lacks Anything to Make It Pop

A lantern at the stern and a series of pouches near the saddle give the Moon Trimmer a utilitarian charm, as if it were crafted for a sky-borne postman rather than a daring duellist. Yet its ash frame, though stable, lacks visual spice. At 600 Galleons from Spintwitches Sporting Needs, it is not a bad buy, but its appearance fades into the clouds like a whisper lost in a storm. The game calls it "finely crafted from ash... built for stability," which accurately describes its dependable but forgettable nature.

11. Wind Wisp – A Lantern with Darker Charms

Wind Wisp borrows the lantern idea but executes it with far more flair. The darker bristles and curved seat give it an edge, almost like a raven's wing dipped in moonlight. It still shares a silhouette with the Moon Trimmer, but the gloomier palette and sleek lines make it feel more mysterious. Available for 600 Galleons at Spintwitches, its in-game description—“a stylish broom with a light touch—quite literally”—captures its modest upgrade in elegance.

10. Family Antique – An Heirloom with History

Some brooms look brand new; this one looks like it has survived generations of Quidditch matches, family feuds, and midnight escapes. The Family Antique is deliberately worn-down, a nostalgic relic that stands out precisely because it refuses to shine. Purchased from the wandering merchant Priya Treadwell for a hefty 2,500 Galleons, it offers no mechanical advantage, but its story brims with character. As the description notes, "This heirloom broom has been passed down for generations," making it perfect for role-players who value soul over sparkle.

9. Lickety Swift – Plain but Practical

With an all-brown coat and a single bag tucked behind the bristles, the Lickety Swift is the broomworld equivalent of a reliable workhorse. It does nothing flashy, yet its aerodynamic design ensures smooth travel. Earning it requires popping seven sets of balloons in the Highlands, a task that feels like collecting dewdrops with a thimble—tedious but rewarding. The in-game description insists it "will make travel a breeze," and while that may be true, its muted appearance leaves it mid-pack.

8. Night Dancer – Sleek but Not Spellbinding

The Night Dancer is one of the slimmest, most graceful designs in the game, yet it somehow lacks a final flourish. Obtained by popping just two sets of balloons, it is an excellent early-game companion. Its nimble build makes it ideal for weaving through trees and around towers, but as the game's roster expands, it begins to feel like a pretty first draft rather than a polished poem. Still, its description—“a nimble broom with an impressive style”—is not undeserved.

7. Aeromancer – A Cauldron of Character

At first glance, the Aeromancer appears as bland as unbuttered bread. But the tiny cauldron perched near the handle transforms it into something whimsical, evoking the image of a travelling potioneer brewing ideas mid-flight. Sold by Rohan Prakash for 3,000 Galleons, it appeals to those who want a dash of alchemical romance in their commute. The description reads, "A smooth ride that cuts through the air like a potioneer slicing ingredients," a metaphor that stays true to its scholarly vibe.

✨ The Middle of the Skies

6. Ember Dash – A Fiery Debut

One of the introductory brooms, the Ember Dash already outshines many later options. Its sleek frame, paired with bristles that glow like smouldering charcoal, makes it feel alive. At just 600 Galleons from Spintwitches, it offers exceptional value for anyone wanting to stand out without grinding. The description—"the perfect broom for those with a fiery temperament"—fits its spirited design like a dragon-skin glove.

5. Wild Fire – A Spark of Distinction

The Wild Fire takes everything the Ember Dash does and cranks it up a notch. Its bristles burn brighter, and a silver bell near the handle gives it an almost ceremonial air, like a herald announcing a knight's arrival. To claim it, players must pop seventeen sets of balloons—a challenge that tests patience as much as flying skill. Its description, "a broom that captures an untamed nature with a little spark," perfectly summarises its wild yet refined personality.

4. Hogwarts House Broom – Wear Your Colours High

Pride is a powerful enchantment, and the Hogwarts House Broom leans into it beautifully. The cloth adorning the handle switches to match the player's house, making each version unique. Whether draped in Gryffindor scarlet, Slytherin green, Ravenclaw bronze, or Hufflepuff yellow, this broom turns every flight into a statement. Priced at a reasonable 600 Galleons from Spintwitches, it is both accessible and charming. Its in-game description says it is "enchanted to celebrate your particular Hogwarts house pride," and it does so without compromising performance.

Beyond these ten, two or three legendary brooms exist in the wider wizarding world, often hidden behind secret quests or demanding balloon trails. Each model, from the humble Yew Weaver to the proudly adorned House Broom, adds a layer of personal expression to the open skies of Hogwarts Legacy. Whether players choose a fiery steed, an heirloom whisper, or a glowing lantern, the real magic lies not in the broom itself, but in the wind that carries it—and the witch or wizard holding tight to the handle.
