Two Ninety: Mentioned only in passing, the Two Ninety is evidently the latest Comet model in Harry's fifth year. Ron, comparing it to his new Cleansweep Eleven, mentions that the Comet Two Ninety will do 0 to 60 in ten seconds. Repeat the previous step for the right side of the horizontal stabilizer, with the other end of the chain, and the right post/branch/etc. from which you will be handing the broom. I don't see any source for their statement, tho. It does look like a possible bit of sloppy plotting, honestly -- but it was the first book, with no guarantee more would be desired, so it's not that surprising. In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Wood says that they should get Harry a Nimbus 2000 or a Cleansweep Seven, the implication being that these are about equal quality – top of the line for that model year.

Before drilling any holes or cutting any rope, decide where you will hang the broom. If you have multiple locations, On looking at the various stills from the film it became obvious that there were at least 4 different brooms used in shooting, each a little different to the others. So hopefully without compromising the overall design I’ve blended some of the minor differences in detail from 3 of the original brooms into my final design.

As far as I know, there is nothing else said about who paid for it specifically, but it sounds like she arranged it through the school. Look at what was in the note attached to it when Harry got it:

Then mark locations for the four 1" wood screws (or dry-wall screws) that will secure the seat board to the base. Each screw should be located along the center line of 2x4 side side panel under it, as shown in the first picture. Secure the strap on both sides of the handle using 3/4" screws and finishing washers, as shown in the third picture.Tie a loose loop knot close to the other end of the rope and attach it to the carabiner. Leave this second loop knot loose so you can adjust the height/angle of the broom handle later

Thread about half of the remaining "long" rope up through the left side of the horizontal stabilizer and then through one end of the chain as shown in the second picture, making sure the rope is long enough to reach the left post/branch/etc. from which you will be hanging the broom.No maker blog is complete without an exhaustive sharing of source photos, right? Right. Especially when the shape that makes this handle so unique involves hours and hours of power sanding. Having clear photos helped me so much since I could see all the angles and what each should look like. the Nimbus 2000 is the broom Harry receives in his first year at Hogwarts. At the time, it is the best broom available, and is ideally suited to the Seeker's job. Silver Arrow: mentioned in passing by Madam Hooch as being the type of broom she learned on, one no longer made. She had also commented that Firebolts remind her of Silver Arrows. Access the game files, remove the specific mod files from the ~mods folder, and the game will revert to its original Yew Weaver Broom 3D model. Harry's Firebolt, when held and then released, floated at exactly the right height for him to mount it. [10]
