A new mod forHogwarts Legacyreplaces one of the brooms in-game withStar Warsspeeder bikes, complete with Hogwarts house colors.Choosing a house is one ofHogwarts Legacy’s biggest choices, and this mod just adds another layer to the decision.
Although it’s early days forHogwarts Legacy, the early signs for the game’s modding community are extremely positive. Modders are still getting to grips with the limitations of the game, but it won’t be long before mods are becoming more and more ambitious in scale. Right now, many of the mods available for the game are simple replacements that are usually quite silly. OneHogwarts Legacymod even adds Thomas the Tank Engineas a replacement for the Hogwarts Express, which is obviously not meant to be taken seriously.

The mod was uploaded to Nexus Mods by user OblivionKnight777, and replaces the Ember Dash Broom withStar Warsspeeder bikes in varying colors dependent upon the player’s Hogwarts house. It’s a cool idea that makes the effort to mix the two franchises together and try and have it make some sort of sense. Most replacement mods just won’t make this kind of effort. However, some mods don’t need to, as they’re already based onHarry Potter, such as onemod that lets gamers play as Voldemort inHogwarts Legacy. Players will have their individual preferences on the type of mods they like, with some preferring to keep the game strictly lore-friendly, even with mods.
Since the game’s release, OblivionKnight777 has been hard at work creating various replacement mods forHogwarts Legacy. A look at their Nexus Mods profile shows that they’ve even created a Bat-Wing mod, bringing the Caped Crusader to the Wizarding World. Unfortunately, on the mod page, the user doesn’t share what their future plans are forHogwarts Legacymods, but they’re certainly worth looking out for.
With millions of players enjoying the game, it’s hard not to be excited about the future of theHarry Potterfranchise again. It’s been in a state of limbo for some time after the struggles of theFantastic Beastsfilm series, but it seems that Avalanche Software has well and truly revived the franchise in the public eye withHogwarts Legacy. It remains to be seen if the game will receive a sequel, but withsales ofHogwarts Legacyapproaching the sales ofElden Ringalready, it seems extremely likely that players will have more Wizarding World games in the coming years.
Hogwarts Legacyis available now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, with PS4 and Xbox One versions launching May 5 and a Switch port releasing July 25.
