The '''Nimbus''' is a [[broomstick]] company. The Nimbus 1000 put the Nimbus Racing Broom Company at the top of the broom manufacturing field, a title it boasted for some time. [[Harry Potter]]'s first broomstick was the Nimbus 2000. The entire [[Slytherin]] [[Quidditch]] team recieved Nimbus 2001s courtesy of [[Lucius Malfoy]] in Harry Potter's second year. There was speculation at Hogwarts that the purchase of these broomsticks 'bought' [[Draco Malfoy]] a place of the Slytherin team.
