How to unlock Spintwitches Sporting Needs
If your first instinct is to visit Sptinwitches as soon as you unlock Hogsmeade to get a broom, you may be disappointed.
This is because unfortunately, due to trade route issues, Spintwitches Sporting Needs will not open until you have had your first flying lesson in Hogwarts. This is the game's way of giving you a flying tutorial before you are set loose on all the broomsticks available.

Where can you get broomsticks in Hogwarts Legacy?
As well as the Spintwitches Sporting Needs shop in Hogsmeade, it is possible to buy broomsticks from other vendors across the outlying villages around Hogwarts. Spintwitches sells a selection of five brooms at the budget price of 600 galleons each.

This means it is possible to get different brooms from other vendors scattered about the world of Hogwarts Legacy. Luckily, if you find yourself a few galleons short of a broomstick, with the transmog system, you can sell all of your old gear and still use their appearance for your character.
