The Noble Collection Harry Potter Firebolt Broom - Approx 42in (106cm) Flying Broomstick Replica - Officially Licensed Harry Potter Film Set Movie Toy - Gifts for Family, Friends & Harry Potter Fan

Product Information

Additionally, in the film the broomstick does not arrive until very near the story's end after Black's escape, whereas in the books it was a Christmas present.

It is possible, however, that the person who wrote the advertisement that stated it to be ash was mistaken, or that Firebolts were made with both woods.He received a Firebolt as an anonymous present from his godfather, Sirius Black at Christmas 1993, after his Nimbus 2000 was destroyed by the Whomping Willow during a Quidditch match against Hufflepuff team. This miniature replica is entirely hand crafted, the handle is shaped from reclaimed oak and the broom head is made from fine brush bristles. It continues to be made in relatively small quantities, partly because the goblin workers involved in the patented ironwork are prone to strikes and walkouts at the smallest provocation. By 2014, the Firebolt had been superseded by the Firebolt Supreme, apparently manufactured by the same makers. The broom was lost on 27 July 1997, during the Battle of the Seven Potters when Sirius Black's motorbike, which Harry and Rubeus Hagrid were flying in, flipped upside-down to avoid the pursuing Death Eaters.

Still, Sirius made sure that Harry was safe and had what he needed even though he couldn’t visit him as he had to hide, and he sent a very special gift to his godson at the end of Prisoner of Azkaban: the Firebolt, a world-class broomstick. This officially licensed Lumos Golden Snitch charm is a stunning addition to any Potterhead’s charm bracelet or necklace. It makes sense that as more broomsticks are put into production and available for purchase, each new model would be better and better.

In 1993, Harry Potter received a Firebolt racing broom as a Christmas present from an anonymous benefactor, following the destruction of his Nimbus 2000 by the Whomping Willow in a Quidditch match against Hufflepuff. Harry Potter is given a few different ones and they help him on his journey to understand himself and magic better. In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the Firebolt's handle is stated to be made of superfine ash. Harry begins using the Nimbus 2000 at the time that he becomes the Seeker of the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
