Hogwarts Legacy is the latest magical adventure set in the Harry Potter series of books and media. Developed by Avalanche Software and published by Portkey Games (a part of Warner Bros. Games), the game follows players taking control of a fifth year as they begin their term in the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and uncover secrets that could tear apart the wizarding world.
The action RPG set in the late 1800s is true to the source, featuring everything that made the series so popular - a likeable cast, an interesting premise, and several other magical details. One of the more popular additions is the broomstick, which is the focus of this article.
