We are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the publication of the first Harry Potter book with Nana sharing a Firebolt broom art tutorial! Now we decided on the Firebolt simply because it was a bit more substantial to paint. " As every school-age wizard knows, the fact that we fly on broomsticks is probably our worst-kept secret.The wizard’s broom is a fun subject to paint with chalk pastels. No Muggle illustration of a witch is complete without a broom and however ludicrous these drawings are (for none of the broomsticks depicted by Muggles would stay up in the air for a moment), they remind us that we were careless for far too many centuries to be surprised that broomsticks and magic are inextricably linked in the Muggle mind." - Kennilworthy Whisp, Quidditch Through the Ages īroomsticks, also known as brooms, were one of the means employed by wizards and witches to transport themselves between locations. Wizarding broomsticks, unlike non-magical brooms, were enchanted to fly, allowing for a witch or wizard to travel to their destination through the air, as well as for playing broom games such as Quidditch. Their use in Great Britain and Ireland was regulated by the Ministry of Magic's Broom Regulatory Control. The earliest recorded use of the broomstick was in 962 in a German illustrated manuscript. Only wizards and witches appeared to use broomsticks in the wizarding world. Since no spell was devised by wizards to enable them to fly (with the exception of Lord Voldemort in 1997, and Severus Snape a year later) they had to come up with another way to do so.īroomsticks appeared to have a bit of a personality of their own, as they were able to respond to the simplest of commands, such as "Up!". Animagi who transformed into winged creatures enjoyed the sensation, but they were rare. Long before the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy came into force, wizards were savvy enough to realise that Muggle neighbours would seek to exploit their abilities. Therefore, if they were to keep a method of flight in their homes, it would have to be unobtrusive and easy to hide. The broomstick was ideal - it was portable, cheap, and required no explanation. However, the first broomsticks were uncomfortable. Records showed that witches and wizards in Europe were using brooms as early as AD 962. A German manuscript of this period showed three warlocks dismounting from their brooms with looks of exquisite discomfort on their faces. The first brooms bewitched were neither comfortable nor aerodynamic (they had rough twigs at the end and unvarnished handles), and in 1107 Scottish wizard Guthrie Lochrin wrote of the "splinter-filled buttocks and bulging piles" after a short ride from Montrose to Arbroath. The charms on the broom were also basic they would move at one speed and could only go up, down, and stop. Wizard families generally constructed their own brooms, so there was a variation in speed and comfort depending on the skill of the builder.
