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. Ron Weasley had a Shooting Star before acquiring a Cleansweep Eleven[1], and Hogwarts maintained a supply of them for flying lessons[2].
