Firebolt

Firebolt was founded in around 1993 by Randolph Spudmore. In the same year they released the Firebolt, which at the time was the fastest broom in the world, but was eventually beaten by the Nimbus 2500.

The Firebolt.


The Firebolt was a broomstick released in 1993. At the time of its release it was the fastest production broom in the world, with a top speed of 150mph, which it could reach in 10 seconds. Both Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley have owned one of these brooms.

The Firebolt II.
The Firebolt II was first designed in 1998 by Randolph Spudmore. After its initial test it proved to be a terrible, and unsafe broomstick, which halted its release. While the Firebolt II isn't actually faster than the original - it has the same top speed of 150mph - it is designed to be faster, reaching its top speed in 7.3 seconds.
