Balloons are a type of challenge found scattered around the map of Hogwarts Legacy. The goal is to find five balloons and destroy them while flying on a Broom.
Completing a certain number of Balloons challenges reward players with a new Broom Appearance in Hogwarts Legacy. It doesn’t have any special effects or extra skills, so it’s safe to say that players will only change the Broom’s style, as the improvements are part of another quest. There are a total of 32 Balloons challenges in Hogwarts Legacy.
North Ford Bog (2 Balloons)
Balloons #1
Upon using the Pitt-Upon-Ford Floo Flame, turn east and look up to find the Balloons in Hogwarts Legacy. They can be near each other, so it won’t be difficult to locate all five.

From the East North Ford Floo Flame, fly northeast to find a lone Balloon. Pop it and glide down to the south to find the remaining line of Balloons.
Hogsmeade Valley (1 Balloon)
Balloons #3
