- "The Three Broomsticks and I go way back, further than I care to admit. I can remember when it was One Broomstick!"
- —Horace Slughorn joking with Harry Potter in the Three Broomsticks Inn[src]
The Three Broomsticks is an inn and pub in the all wizarding village of Hogsmeade. It is often warm, crowded, and a bit smoky, but clean and welcoming. A mirror behind the bar reflects the cosy atmosphere, and drinks such as Butterbeer and Firewhiskey are served in glasses and in pewter tankards. The Three Broomsticks is owned and operated by Madam Rosmerta.

[edit] History
[edit] Recent History
The proprietor of this establishment is Madam Rosmerta. She has been managing the Three Broomsticks for at least twenty years, since Harry Potter's father, James was a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Harry and his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger enjoy drinking butterbeer at the inn, where they frequently encounter Rubeus Hagrid and other regulars as well. During the 1993 school year, Harry was unable to go to Hogsmeade because of the events surrounding Sirius Black's escape from Azkaban. However, Harry snuck into Hogsmeade under the Invisibility Cloak to have butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks. There he overheard a group of Hogwarts professors talking about Sirius Black, thus revealing to him the secret that Sirius was his godfather.
During the 1993 school year, owing to the escape of Sirius Black from Azkaban, a number of Dementors were assigned to patrol Hogsmeade Village. This caused a certain amount of trouble for Madam Rosmerta, as it discouraged visitors due to the grim atmosphere that follows Dementors.

[edit] Behind the scenes
- According to Hermione Granger, in Sites of Historical Sorcery it is mentioned that the inn at Hogsmeade served as human headquarters for the 1612 goblin rebellion[1]. It is unknown if the inn mentioned on the book is The Three Broomsticks.
- In the film version of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, several Shrunken Heads rudely tell Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley that underage wizards aren't allowed in the pub that day. This may or may not be standard limitation, but is never mentioned in the books.
- In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince we learn that Madam Rosmerta keeps broomsticks behind her bar.
