The Nimbus Racing Broom Company is a racing broom which revolutionised the market, with its products being the best in its time.

About[]

Nimbus brooms tend to drag after a few years of use because they have a slight list in their tail-end.[2]

History[]

The first product, the Nimbus 1000, is renowned for being the best broom of its time. Unlike anything else ever produced to date, the speed and ability of the broom to turn turned the company and the broom into the one preferred by professional Quidditch teams across Europe. Five other brooms were soon created to keep the company at the top of the industry: the Nimbus 1001, Nimbus 1500, Nimbus 1700.[1]

In 1991, the Nimbus 2000 was created and it was a very popular broom.[3] Harry Potter was given one by Minerva McGonagall when he won the role of Seeker.[4] In 1992, the company created a Nimbus 2001 which was far better than the Nimbus 2000.[5] They were eventually outdone by the invention of the Firebolt in August 1993.[6]
