Hogwarts Legacy offers a handful of ways to traverse its vast open world, but there may not be any better than flying on a broomstick. The item can be used infinitely, allowing him to reach great heights and approach places at an accelerated speed. Better yet, the item comes in multiple styles for players to choose from. With that being said, those looking to equip a broom will need to take a few necessary steps before they can do so. This is how you can access your broom in Hogwarts Legacy.
How to ride your broom in Hogwarts Legacy
Before you wait for your broom, you'll first need to make sure you've finished your first flying lesson at Hogwarts. He can simply progress through the main story to win this quest, and completing it allows him to buy a broom in Hogsmeade. Once a broom is acquired, it can be equipped via the item wheel. Those on consoles can open the steering wheel by pressing the respective left front bumper, while PC users can do so with the Tab key.
As shown above, the wheel features all of your unlocked rides on the right side of the screen, and pressing the button next to each one instantly equips it. However, that will not always be the case. You will not be able to use your broom inside buildings or cities. An icon will also appear near the minimap HUD when you are unable to fly in certain areas.

Now that you have your broom close at hand, it might even be worth considering upgrading the magic item. After completing the Flying Test quest for Albie Weeks, his Spintwitches Sporting Needs shop will offer the first possible upgrade you can unlock, increasing his speed and acceleration. However, if you need to get to your next mission in a flash, Floo Flames' fast travel ability should suffice.
