The Firebolt Supreme, possibly a new improved model of the classic Firebolt broom from the same manufacturer, was chosen by the Bulgarian National Team at the 2014 Quidditch World Cup ( QWC). While Sirius Black has a sad Harry Potter character arc, he is Harry's godfather and truly cares about him, and this gift proves that. Other plot holes in the Harry Potter movies include unexplained details about the Triwizard Tournament and the backstory of Barty Crouch Jr.

It has also been pointed out by readers that goblins don’t exactly respect Wizarding law, and they act by their own laws, so even if they were instructed to take money from the vault of a fugitive, and again, as Sirius never mentioned his name, he wouldn’t have had a problem in taking the money from it to pay for something that would be sent to Harry Potter. Over time, the Firebolt broomstick was used by the Bulgarian and Irish International Quidditch Teams. Because Firebolt broomsticks hover at convenient mounting height when not in use, the usefulness of the apparently undetachable bipod is questionable, except for display, such as in the window of Quality Quidditch Supplies in Diagon Alley.

Hermione did the absolute right thing in intervening rather than let Harry take an unnecessary risk. Whether the characters use broomsticks when they play Quidditch or when they want to go somewhere, these objects are a huge part of Harry Potter. And then he heard it, speeding through the air behind him; he turned and saw his Firebolt hurtling towards him around the edge of the woods, soaring into the enclosure, and stopping dead in mid-air beside him, waiting for him to mount.

Furthermore, Harry had literally fallen fifty feet from an airborne broomstick less than TWO MONTHS earlier. The Firebolt was first developed by Randolph Spudmore around 1993, at a time when brooms made by the Nimbus Racing Broom Company dominated the market. A skillful and innovative broom designer, Randolph was the first to use goblin-made ironwork (including footrests, stand and twig bands), the secrets of which are not fully understood, but which seem to give the Firebolt additional stability and power in adverse weather conditions and a special non-slip foot grip that is of particular advantage to Quidditch players. While he is thrilled to use it during Quidditch games, it becomes completely ruined thanks to the terrifying Harry Potter villains, dementors.This replica Harry Potter Firebolt broomstick is a full size reproduction of the ones used in the actual movie.

Once the fastest broomstick, the Firebolt was used by the Irish Quidditch team in the 1994 World Cup.The handle is of polished ebony and the twigs of birch or hazel according to personal preference (birch is reputed to give more ‘oomph’ in high ascents, whereas hazel is preferred by those who prefer hair-trigger steering). It is possible, however, that the person who wrote the advertisement that stated it to be ash was mistaken, or that Firebolts were made with both woods.
