All mounts in Hogwarts Legacy & how to unlock them

Traversing the expansive map of Hogwarts Legacy on foot can become a test of endurance, but thankfully, the game offers a variety of riding mounts to enhance your exploration experience.

Meanwhile, Hogwarts Legacy is home to a diverse array of magical creatures, from the endearing Mooncalf to the formidable Dragons. These larger beasts double as mounts, elevating your exploration of the game’s wizarding world to new heights of wonder.

As well as making traversal much quicker, using mounts can also make your experience in the game even more magical. Who doesn’t want to fly around Hogwarts Castle atop a mighty Hippogriff, after all?

So, here is every mount available in Hogwarts Legacy.

All mounts in Hogwarts Legacy

Thestral mount

Thestrals made their cinematic appearance in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and since then, these spectral horses have proven incredibly popular. What makes Thestrals so special is their ability to fly, which means players will likely be able to both gallop and fly through the game’s environments.

Players can unlock the Thestral mount by purchasing the Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe Edition or Collector’s Edition, which comes bundled with the Dark Arts Battle Arena alongside other in-game items. 

Hippogriff mount

Hippogriffs also appear in Hogwarts Legacy as mounts that players can use to fly around Hogwarts and other locations. This legendary creature originally made its appearance in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, with Buckbeak helping Harry and co.

The Onyx Hippogriff was only obtainable by pre-ordering any edition of Hogwarts Legacy, so if you didn’t do it, you won’t be able to get your hands on this particular variant.  

Broomstick

While not a living-breathing creature, the broom is arguably the most iconic mount in the Harry Potter universe. In fact, nearly every witch and wizard utilizes this magic-enchanted broom to fly around, especially those who enjoy playing intense games of Quidditch. 

To unlock the ability to use broomsticks players need to complete the main story mission ‘Flying class’, and then buy themselves a broom.

Graphorn

The Graphorn is a ground-only mount in Hogwarts Legacy. This creature is a unique mix between an elephant and a ram in appearance. It can be unlocked by completing the side quest ‘San Bakar’s Trial‘ which becomes available in the late stages of the game.

You’ll encounter a Graphorn during this side quest and it will eventually charge toward your character and you’ll be given the option to either attack or kneel in front of it before the quest ends. Once this has been done, wild Graphorn will be available to tame by visiting the Graphorn Den, located on the Graphorn Coast.

That’s every mount you can get in Hogwarts Legacy. Check out our Hogwarts Legacy page for even more guides.
