[edit] History
Xenophilius and Luna Lovegood believe that Crumple-Horned Snorkacks reside in Sweden, and went on an expedition to find them there in the summer of 1996, using the money the Daily Prophet paid them in order to re-print Harry Potter's account of Lord Voldemort's return.[1]
Sweden hosts the annual broom race which dates from the tenth century. The competitors fly from Kopparberg to Arjeplog. The winner recieves a trophy shaped like a Swedish Short-Snout.[2]
