ALL 22 Brooms And Broom Types - Harry Potter Explained

Hey everyone! Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. In this video, we’ll be discussing something that has a very different function in the muggle world- I am of course talking about Broomsticks! Where a muggle may see this as a tool which they dread taking out of the closet, a wizard sees an opportunity to fly.
Now, we hear a few different brooms namedropped throughout the books/ and films. Most notably in one of the beginning sequences of the philosophers stone, when Hagrid first takes Harry to Diagon Alley. When they walk past the broom shop, children are gawking at a broom through the window. “"Wow! Look at it! The new Nimbus 2000! “ Harry overhears as he walks by.
So, the Nimbus 2000 was the hot broom of the time, but as the books/films progress we also hear of newer, faster, updated brooms. The Firebolt was released in 1993, and it superceded the Nimbus 2000 as the best broom around. Harry eventually gets one as a gift from his godfather Sirius, when his Nimbus 2000 is snapped by the Whomping willow.
So, with all of these brooms being namedropped left and right, it made me wonder- how many types of brooms are there? It turns out that between the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts series, there are a whopping 22 different broom types/makes. I say types, and not brooms specifically, because there are many iterations of brooms like the ‘nimbus’ and the ‘comet’.
Tune in to find out about all the brooms in the Harry Potter series!

My favourite broomstick is the nimbus 2000. But I also like the 2001. I think that the sleekness and tight end of the nimbus line make them look more like racing brooms and so make them look fancy.

Great broom video! Can't believe I'm late.. my favorite broom would be Nimbus 2001, because of the style and colors. The firebolt would be a close 2nd hecause of the speed.

[@George_Bland]

2001?

[@Ottawa3453]

@@George_Bland I think the Nimbus 2001 looks like it was made out of plastic rather than fine wood. Its superficial look fits well with Lucius buying them for the entire Slytherin quidditch team to bribe them into giving Draco the seeker spot. The Nimbus 2000 looks like it was made of high quality wood.

If I didn't know anything about any of these and had to pick one based on their names I would pick the Silver Arrow.

[@SgtSupaman]

That Bluebottle one had me wondering the entire video how you could have a family broom. I mean, they are basically like flying motorcycles (which is weird, because Hagrid actually has a flying motorcycle), and how can one have a "family" vehicle when it is just one thing to straddle and can barely hold luggage, let alone a family worth of people. Then the Fambus hit the screen...so that's how. Still, though, unless there were some kind of special enchantment, you wouldn't want to take small children on a broom, the same way you shouldn't take small children on a motorcycle. It'd be too easy for them to fall off.

[@CalvinNoire]

[@tylersoto7465]

I was hoping after the 2nd wizard war with Voldemort, the wizarding world would have a economic trade boom like after both world wars , like how privatized spending went up like jobs, housing and car production, but in Harry Potter people would start doing that etc but instead of cars but broomsticks being produced more and see different models of them etc

Kind of weird that in the Wizarding world countries like Nigeria exist. You would think that there would be completely different entities than "countries", since countries are supposed to be a muggle made institution. Nigeria for example was created disregarding the cultural and ethnical differences of the population living there. It's a highly diverse area and you would think that in the Wizarding world, there would be some sort of different institutions other than muggle countries. Same goes for Japan or countries like Germany

As a racing and Harry Potter fan, I always wonder how is the broomstick racing there. Is there some kind of Formula 1 style racing with special built racing broom, or a GT category with modified commercially available broom, or even endurance broom racing like 24 hours of Le Mans? Maybe there also illegal broom racing which attracts Aurors' attention? Also at 2:15 that's a nice homage to Mercedes-Benz' race cars
