About[]
The Firebolt is a world-class broomstick used in Quidditch. It was the fastest at the time of its release, which was in 1993. At the time, it was used in the Bulgarian-Irish Quidditch World Cup.[2]
Description[]
The Firebolt appears to be much like the Nimbus 2000. It is a rather long tree branch, which a paintbrush-like end. There are metal footrests, where (obviously) the pilot places their feet.
History[]
The Firebolt was first developed by Randolph Spudmore in 1993. It was quite popular, even while it was still being displayed in windows of stores. Harry Potter first saw a prototype in the window of Quality Quidditch Supplies. He wanted one, but he already had an expensive[3] Nimbus 2000. The Firebolt was later purchased by popular Quidditch teams, and was used in the 1994 Quidditch World Cup.
