The “Nimbus 2000 Broom” mod by user norskpl adds one of them into the game, replacing the Yew Weaver with the titular broom, which was used by Harry Potter for his first three years at Hogwarts. Hogwarts Legacy has over a dozen brooms available for players to choose between, but fans of the Harry Potter movies and books will have noticed that a couple of key models are missing. As its name suggests, in addition to camera rotation, the mod will also let you control your broom’s ascent and descent with the mouse, with both regular and inverted options available. For those looking for a fix that adds the option to control broom flight using your mouse, look no further than Nexusmods user r457’s “Mouse Controls for Broom” mod. If you’re playing Hogwarts Legacy on PC, its broom flight controls may not be to your liking, seeing as pretty much everything other than camera rotation is controlled using the keyboard. Said issues aren’t completely eliminated, but things definitely do get better, especially if you play with ray tracing turned off.

For instance, the “Ascendio” mod made by Nexusmods user Seifunaru makes noticeable improvements to Hogwarts Legacy’s stuttering issues and frame rate drops. Developer Avalanche Software has started the process of ironing these out with post-launch patches, but until such time the game’s official build gets up to the expected level of quality, there are mods that you can download to help improve things. Like virtually every massive open world RPG ever made, Hogwarts Legacy is not without its fair share of technical issues.

Here are a few such mods that, if you’re playing the game on PC, you should definitely look into. Hogwarts Legacy is barely a few days old at this point, which means we’re not yet at the point where there are a ton of large-scale mods for it out there- though there surely are plenty available that improve the experience in smaller but noticeable ways. The best part of playing a game – any game – on PC is having access to community-made mods (as long as those games support mods, at least), and from major improvements and additions to minor alterations and fixes, mods tend to elevate games in a number of ways.
