The Phoenix 5000

The broomstick that I have created is called The Phoenix 5000, the latest in the range of Phoenix brooms. It’s made of highly polished oak, and the length and width of the handle alters to fit the rider, and the position. For example, if you are a seeker, it will become lighter to give more speed, but for the beater position, it will be sturdier.

Then tip of the broom is unique, in that it is carved into the shape of a phoenix head. This not only gives the broom class and style, but the pointed tip gives a more streamlined feel. The broom tail twigs are individually picked for their ultimate aerodynamics.

There is an “auto-pruning” charm upon the broom, which means that whenever any of the twigs are bent, broken or damaged, they will automatically replenish themselves. No more broom maintenance again!

There is an in-built cushioning charm on the handle, to give a smoother, softer ride for everyone. The Phoenix 5000 is the ideal racing broom, with the ability to reach speeds of up to 150mph.

The Phoenix 5000 is designed in a natural wood colour, rich and dark. The cost of the Phoenix 5000 is 2,500 Galleons, and it has already been snapped up by the English Quidditch Team.

My Broomstick:

Name: Flaming Spirit

Wood Type: the Flaming Spirit would be made of oak, which would be strong, and durable, but itwouldn’t be solid oak, I would use an infusion of a lighter wood such as ash on the inside to make it fly better and make it more lightweight.

Length: the Flaming Spirit would be 2.3 m long, including the tail, allowing enough room for one person to fit comfortably, and move around the broom increasing stability and turning power of the broom.

Base: The tail would be made from finely, and hand selected birch twigs for a more streamlined shape.

Charms: There would be a levitation charm on it for it to fly when directed to. A personality charm to mould to it’s owner. An Anti-Theft Charm. An Automatic Brake Charm that senses when the player has fallen off, so it stops and returns to the ground. A mild stability charm to stop the player falling off while accelerating, but not affecting their game

Speed: Can go from 0 – 200 in 3s...which is pretty fast acceleration...

Colour: Available in red, blue, green and yellow tinted wood, or normal, with gold/silver engraved Maker Name and Owner Name.

Cost: 80 000 Galleons, 7 Sickles and 15 Knuts

Additional Information: Can be made especially for each Quidditch Position for an additional 50 Galleons.
