Talk:Broomsticks in Harry Potter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Sources

I would just like to mention that the info of Staxringold's expansion on the broomsticks quote the exact words for most of the brooms featured in Qudditch Through The Ages. I'm not quite sure how to play around with HTML yet, and I'm not quite sure how to display the sources, but I'm sure the Quidditch Through The Ages is one. In any case, Stax got to the book first.

[edit] Other Broomsticks

I expanded the information (and added, in some cases) for brooms other than the Nimbus series, Cleansweeps, Comets, and Firebolt. Staxringold 16:25, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

I read in book four that there are brooms for little kids should we list these?user:ivel

[edit] Why was the nimbus 2000 toy contreversial?

It was a vibrating toy that was designed to be placed between the legs. Some parents were dismayed when their children discovered that vibrating toys placed between the legs feel really, really good. (Sexual toys, for various reasons that are too complex to explain here, are quite controversial in many social groups within the United States.) 76.197.9.181 21:19, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
