The Shooting Star was a broomstick produced by Universal Brooms Ltd in 1955. At the time of its release, it was the cheapest racing broom on the market. However, after initial good sales and popularity, the broom was found to lose height and speed as they aged.

Known ownersEdit

• Ronald Weasley had a Shooting Star before acquiring a Cleansweep Eleven^[1].
• Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry maintained a supply of them for flying lessons^[2]. Fred and George Weasley always complained that the school brooms would always fly slightly to the left or that they would start to vibrate if one flew too high.
