First, you must make it through the game’s early stages. That means completing the missions until you reach the “Flying Class.” It may seem like a long way, but the journey is worth it. What’s a wizard without a broomstick?
Once you’ve made it to flying class, it’s time to buckle down and get to work. Sit in Professor Kogawa’s class and accomplish the missions she assigns to you. You may find some of them challenging, but don’t give up! You’re on the path to greatness, and every step counts.
How to Purchase your Broom?

How to upgrade your broom?
Your broom is your trusty steed for getting around quickly. But how about making it even faster? You can apply three upgrades to your broomstick to make it way more swift. Once you get your broom in Hogwarts Legacy, follow the steps below to upgrade it:
The first step is to keep playing until the owner of Sprintwitches, Weekes, assigns you the “Sweeping the Competition” task for a specific time frame. Completing it will lead you to unlock your first broom upgrade, which is for 1,000 galleons.

If you’re serious about upgrading your broom, you’ll want to complete the third and final trial. This trial unlocks the third and final upgrade for a hefty 7,500 galleons. With this upgrade, your broom will be as rapid and powerful as it can get.

Now that you’re on your broomstick, you can travel across the school grounds and surrounding hamlets. For a little speed boost, press L2, LT, and left-click on PS5, Xbox, and PC.
