Hogwarts Legacy Brooms, Ranked

In Hogwarts Legacy, there are 13 known broomsticks you may acquire as you can swap out to select one based on personal preferences. But to be the fastest student on a broomstick in Hogwarts, progress with the main story quests and complete the Broom Trials, which unlock after completing the Flight Test side quest, where completing them unlocks upgrades for your broomstick.

Regardless of what broom you wish to upgrade, it will technically be the best one to have in-game, but a few stand out from the rest. The Hogwarts House Broom would be a good choice as this broom, according to its in-game description, is “enchanted with your particular House pride,” which feels important to support your house while flying.

The Bright Spark Broom is a worthy consideration as it boasts a beautiful sleek yet modern finish, but it requires you to pop balloons found throughout Hogwarts to unlock it. There’s the Silver Arrow Broom, which requires you to find the NPC, Arn, and complete the Carted Away quest to unlock him and buy the broom from him.

The first upgrade will set you back around 1,000 Galleons, the second will cost you 4,000 Galleons, and the final upgrade will cost you 7,500 Galleons. If you don’t have enough to pay for the upgrades, you can follow our handy guide on how to farm Galleons quickly, as these upgrades will be worth the investment if you wish to have the best and fastest broom in-game.

Included in the upgrades is a boost for your broom’s acceleration and speed eventually to its maximum, for which you can test it out at one of the many Landing Platforms found across the map. You can also complete its related Challenges to receive rewards which will assist your progression toward the Collector’s Edition Trophy or Achievement.
