- — British Ministry of Magic's embargo on flying carpets[src]
A flying carpet,[1] also known as a magic carpet,[2] was a form of magical transportation used by some nations (mostly Asian countries) of the wizarding world.[1]
Description
As the name implies, it was a carpet that has been enchanted to fly. Flying carpets were particularly popular in Asia and the Middle East, with India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran and Mongolia among the main nations using them.[3]
History
Flying carpets were once an accepted form of travel for Great Britain's magical community, but they were later banned due to being defined as a Muggle Artefact by the Registry of Proscribed Charmable Objects. After the ban, it was against wizarding law to charm carpets or fly them there, although they were still legal in other countries. Arthur Weasley was very much involved in the introduction of this legislation due to his position in the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office. It is known that the ban was relatively recent, not only from Arthur's involvement, but also from the fact that Barty Crouch Senior's grandfather owned a 12-seater Axminster back in the days before they were prohibited.[1]
The advantage of the carpet over a broomstick was that they could seat a number of people or luggage with ease, and were far more comfortable to ride on without having a Cushioning Charm placed on them, unlike broomsticks. It was still likely to be chilly travelling on one, however, as like a broomstick, they offered no protection from the elements.[3]
A merchant by the name of Ali Bashir was very keen to export flying carpets to Great Britain, hoping that they would find a niche as family transport, and was very upset that local laws prevented him from doing so. He regularly berated Arthur about the subject, but it was very unlikely that the law would change.[1]
An advertisement for Black Carp Co.'s flying carpets claimed that the Department of Magical Transportation recommended their brand. It promised a flight of "security & comfort" on their "Pure Black Persian Carpets".[4]
