[edit] Known owners
[edit] Harry Potter
Harry Potter received a toy broomstick for his first birthday from his godfather Sirius Black. In a letter she wrote to Sirius, Harry's mother, Lily, stated that the gift had been Harry's favourite. Lily also mentioned that, while Harry had broken a vase and nearly run over the family's cat riding the broom around the house, her husband, James, was convinced that Harry would grow up to be a talented Quidditch player.[2]
[edit] Two little witches
At the 1994 Quidditch World Cup, a Ministry official spotted two little witches flying around on toy broomsticks, and hurried to warn their parents about allowing children to display magical abilities near Muggles.[1]
[edit] Fred Weasley
Ron Weasley broke his older brother Fred's toy broomstick when he was three. In revenge, Fred turned Ron's teddy bear into a spider, leading Ron to become extremely arachnophobic.[3]
