Product Information

How Sirius Black bought the Firebolt isn’t really a plot hole in the Harry Potter saga, but it does raise a couple of questions about Wizarding law and the goblins at Gringotts. She has a Political Science degree from the University of Toronto and a Masters of Journalism from Toronto Metropolitan University. It was a gift from Professor McGonagall (Maggie Smith) after Harry joined the Gryffindor Quidditch team as the new Seeker.

As it was the Owl Office that dealt with the purchase and not Sirius himself, it’s understood that they only cared that it was being paid and not so much who was paying for it, and as Sirius gave the number of the vault and not his actual name, he could have easily gotten away with it without catching the Ministry’s attention. It continued to be made in relatively small quantities, partly because the goblin workers involved in the patented ironwork were prone to strikes and walkouts at the smallest provocation. This replica Harry Potter Firebolt broomstick is a full size reproduction of the ones used in the actual movie.Because of the popularity of the Harry Potter novels, there was likely the thought that a few Harry Potter plot holes could go unnoticed in the movies because audience members who read the books would already be able to fill in the blanks themselves.

Harry was the only person in Hogwarts that owned a Firebolt, until losing it in the Battle of the Seven Potters. The Firebolt, released in the summer of 1993, is the fastest racing broom in the world at that time. This state-of-the-art racing broom sports a streamlined superfine handle of ash, treated with a diamond-hard polish and hand-numbered with its own registration number.This was the Firebolt, a top-secret project developed by Randolph Spudmore (son of Able Spudmore of Ellerby and Spudmore, who produced the Tinderblast in 1940 and the Swiftstick in 1952, both serviceable brooms, but never achieving great popularity). Even though the competitor Thunderbolt VII could attain speeds that rivalled that of the Firebolt series, many experts felt that it had sacrificed safety for speed — indeed, during the 2014 Quidditch World Cup, even though professional broomsticks were supposed to withstand all Bludger hits, the tail of Nigerian Seeker Samuel Equiano's Thunderbolt was smashed off by a Bludger shot hit by Japanese Beater Masaki Hongo.
