How to Pop Balloons

Master Madam Kogawa's Assignment 1! Learn exactly where to find and pop all 10 balloons around the Quidditch Pitch and Hogsmeade Station in Hogwarts Legacy.

Alright, so you've finished your Flying Class and Madam Kogawa's got another task for you – popping balloons! This one runs alongside the 'Flight Test' quest, so you'll be doing a lot of flying. First things first, if you haven't already, you need a broom. Head over to Spintwitches Sporting Needs in Hogsmeade and chat with Albie Weekes. Grab whichever broom you fancy; they all do the same job, and it'll cost you 600 Galleons.

Now, for the main event: popping balloons! You need to find and pop a total of ten balloons scattered around the Quidditch Pitch and Hogsmeade Station. These aren't just for show; they're collectibles you can snag while flying. They usually come in groups of five at each location. To pop them, you just need to fly right into them – super simple!

Where to Find the Balloons:

• Quidditch Pitch: This is west of Hogwarts. Keep an eye out because some balloons are really close to the ground, and a couple are actually outside the pitch's walls.
• Hogsmeade Station: Located southeast of Hogsmeade. Most of the balloons are easy to spot from the northern end of the train tracks as you look south towards the station. There's one tricky one hidden in the trees to the right of the tracks.

Once you've popped all ten balloons, head back to Madam Kogawa at Hogwarts. She'll teach you the Glacius spell, which is super handy for freezing enemies and making them take more damage from your follow-up attacks.
