The Dragonwind 7 is a completely new model of brooms, combining the best features from all your old favorite brooms, but also adding new improvements all packed into a breath-taking new design. You have not seen nor flied on a more stable and comfortable broom than the Dragonwind 7, and its speed, agility, and elegance in the air are bound to leave all your competitors jealous. The broom is made out of Rosewood and with hazel twigs, plus some light iron to keep it all intact and to provide superb handles for it. In addition to that, a mixture of rosewood and hazel has been used to create special wing elements which add extra speed and high acceleration but also better balance and precision. The wings flap and turn in all directions which aids with navigation, provides additional security, and boosts the broom's performance in general. Who needs dragons when you can fly as one in the air using our brand new Dragonwind 7? Got somewhere to go? Got someone to beat? Get yourself the first Dragonwind broom model and you'll soar as high and fast as you can imagine!

Hello and good morning members of the Braga Broomfleet. Today we have a new broom which we like to call the Supreme 15. This broom can reach speeds of 250 miles per hour thanks to its streamlined appearance at both the tip and tail of the broom. This is 100 miles per hour more than Harry Potter’s broomstick made in 2001 representing a real improvement. Plus, it brakes in 3 seconds flat so that you can stop on a dime. Of course with a broom this fast we had to make it safer so people to avoid them getting hurt too badly. This is why we have added a new charm that come exclusively only on our broomsticks. This charm we call the Sellabalteus charm and it keeps flyers on their broom while they are going this fast. With this broomstick there is no way that you can ever be beaten, no matter who you are playing... even if it’s the Vratsa Vultures! Anyway, I hope you will choose our broomstick for your team. Here is an artists impression of what the finished model will look like - made with the finest materials of course!

The Flintshire Fireballs - Lamia Brickley



The Nightflash Comfort is a new broom in the Nightflash series. It's designed especially for night use and for long distances (comfort line). However, it is also very suitable for Quidditch. Sometimes Quidditch games last for hours and it can be dark before there is an end in sight. And if you can't use any light for the Quidditch pitch the built-in spotlight becomes handy. The broom has metal steps, so you can fly standing on your broom which gives you a high flexibility. The comfort line also has a cushioned seat. On top of the cushion charm. Long Quidditch sessions: No Problem. And for those who want to know how fast they can dive or fly there's a speed indicator.

The Nightflash Comfort: Fast like a flash, bright like a flash

The Peruvian Prowler:

Named after the fastest dragon breed of all wizarding kind, the Peruvian Prowler is hitting the broom markets later this year! Consisting of your typical, but still reliable handle, the real power behind this broomstick comes from the copper coloring of the brooms tail twigs. (Rumor has it the coloring comes from Peruvian Vipertooth dragons, but this has not yet been confirmed.) The Peruvian Prowler has plenty of power behind it similar to the dragon it's named after. The broom has the capability of reaching speeds of around 90-100 mph hours in just 4 seconds, before shattering speed records at a maximum 165 mph! Despite the brooms smaller size, its speed, agility, and power more than makes up for the lack of size. No one will want to face off against your team as they watch in awe over your broomsticks incredible new power.

*No Peruvian Vipertooth Dragons were harmed in the making of this broom.
**Just kidding, we have no confirmation of that.
***There were actually probably maybe like 1 or 2 dragons killed.
****That's probably more like 10-20, but who's counting really?
*****Okay, those who are counting say they killed off all but like 3...I'm sure they're not all the same gender.
******Turns out they're all the same gender.
*******This was probably a bad idea.
********This was a really bad idea.

Group X - Polaris Black



Team X is introducing its newest racing broomstick, the X007. The X stands for us, the double-0 stands for the woods Olive and Oak, and the 7 stands for the number of seconds for the broom to reach 100 mph!

The broomstick is made totally in Portugal, of wood that is indigenous to the area. The Olive wood shaft is finely crafted and the Cork Oak wood twigs that make up the tail are very responsive and protected by the cork. Since there is so much play in the evening and in the rain, the shaft has been enchanted to glow Braga Blue under these conditions and the broom has been equipped with a headlight. The platinum coated pedals have been enchanted to adjust automatically and perfectly to the rider. And of course, 0-100 mph in 7 seconds - WOW!!! We sincerely hope you like it!!!

Notes: You can add an optional Bludger detector but it is not regulation!
Our spoiler option is in the final phase of performance and safety evaluation.
