Welcome to Potter’s Army

Welcome to Potter's Army

We have been a Harry Potter Roleplaying site since 2007. If you're an old member we hope you come check out the discord link provided below. And if you're looking for a new roleplaying site, well, we're a little inactive. But every once and a while nostalgia sets in and a few of our alumni members will revisit the old stomping grounds and post together. Remember to stay safe out there. And please feel free to drop a line whenever!

What’s Happening?
Since every few months or so a few of our old members get the inspiration to revisit their old stomping grounds we have decided to keep PA open as a place to revisit old threads and start new ones devoid of any serious overarching plot or setting. Take this time to start any of those really weird threads you never got to make with old friends and make them now! Just remember to come say hello in the chatbox below or in the discord. Links have been provided in the "Comings and Goings" forum as well as the welcome widget above.

ALL BROOM PRICES ARE AS FOLLOWS UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED
NEW-50 sickles USED-25 sickles

Cleansweep Series Brooms
A series of sport broomsticks produced by the Cleansweep Broom Company beginning in 1926

  • Cleansweep Two
    Released in 1934, this broom model was an improved version of the Cleansweep One.
  • Cleansweep Three
    This broom model was an improved version of the Cleansweep Two and was released in 1937
  • Cleansweep Five
    The Weasley twins flew these broomsticks
  • Cleansweep Six
    The Quibbler, in its September (or August, possibly) 1995 [Y15] issue, carried an interview with a wizard who claimed to have flow to the moon on one of these brooms, and had returned with a bag of moon frogs to prove it.
  • Cleansweep Seven
    Most of the Ravenclaw team in Harry's third year flew these.
  • Cleansweep Eleven
    The Cleansweep Eleven was released in 1995 making it the latest broomstick in the series. Ron Weasley received one as a reward upon being made a prefect (OP9). He was very happy about it, so we know a fair bit about its specifications from him.

    Comet Broom Series
    Series of broomsticks produced by the Comet Trading Company (formed 1929)
  • Comet 140
    The first of the Comet series of racing broomsticks, numbered 140 because of the number of models tested during its development. This model (released in 1929) incorporated the patented Horton-Keitch braking charm.
  • Comet 180
    The second of the Comet series of racing broomsticks, this model was released in 1938 (QA9).
  • Comet Two Sixty (Comet 260)
    An entry in the Comet series of racing broomsticks, released no later than 1991.
  • Comet Two Ninety (Comet 290)
    The most recent entry in the Comet series of racing broomsticks. Its maximum acceleration is nought to sixty, and that only with a decent tailwind according to Which Broomstick.
    New:15 sickles Used:10 sickles

    Nimbus Series Brooms

  • Nimbus 1000
    The first broomstick of the Nimbus series, this model was revolutionary in its day for reaching speeds of up to 100 miles per hour and being capable of turning 360 degrees at a fixed point in mid-air (QA9). This broom put the Nimbus Racing Broom Company at the top of the broom manufacturing field, a title it boasted for some time.
  • Nimbus 1001
  • Nimbus 1500
  • Nimbus 1700
    Brooms which followed the release of the Nimbus 1000 between 1967 and 1990 and ensured the Nimbus Racing Broom Company stayed atop the field of sport brooms.
  • Nimbus 2000
    Harry Potter's first broom, given to him by Professor McGonagall in his first year At the time he received it, it was the best broom available; he used it until it blew into the Whomping Willow during his third year.
  • Nimbus 2001
    Released just before the start of Harry's second year in 1992, a year after the Nimbus 2000. Lucius Malfoy bought seven of these to outfit the Slytherin Quidditch Team; there's some evidence that this was why Draco was made the team's Seeker, as he really isn't a particularly good player.

    The Firebolt
    Released in the summer of 1993 [Y13], the Firebolt is currently the fastest racing broom in the world. The Irish International Side flew Firebolts in the 1994 Quidditch World Cup.
    NEW:200 sickles USED:150 sickles

New Broomsticks will be added and prices of brooms may change!!
