Does Hermione ever fly a broom?

Hermione did fly in the first book, when the three were trying to catch the enchanted key, and again to get back out: "You drink that," said Harry. Harry's broom jumped into his hand at once, but it was one of the few that did. Hermione Granger's had simply rolled over on the ground, and Neville's hadn't moved at all.

How much does a Firebolt Broom cost?

Ignoring inflation, this would make a Firebolt worth roughly 16,000 dollars, which seems a fair price for a world-class broom (as so much of Quidditch relies on having a good broom, it's clear that brooms are a big deal and the main equipment in any Quidditch match).

Why is it called the Nimbus 2000?

The Nimbus 2000 was fastest broomstick during Harry's first year at Hogwarts and the Nimbus 2001 was fastest in the subsequent year. It's safe to assume that the number in the name represents a year. Harry used the Nimbus 2000 in 1993 and Malfoy used Nimbus 2001 in 1994.

Does Harry lose his Firebolt?

no harry does not ever get his firebolt back because when he was being transported to the burrow he was in the side car of sirius's bike and the broom fell out. LilyRosie said: Yes, he gets it back when Umbridge leaves Hogwarts, but looses it again( well, it breaks) in the 7th.

Is Aunt Petunia a squib?

No, she is not a Squib. She is a Muggle, but—[Laughter]. You will have to read the other books. You might have got the impression that there is a little bit more to Aunt Petunia than meets the eye, and you will find out what it is.

Why is Harry's wand so special?

Harry Potter's wand was 11" long, made of holly, and possessed a phoenix feather core. This was described by Garrick Ollivander to be an unusual combination of wand core and wood. The feather was donated by Fawkes, Albus Dumbledore's phoenix. Harry's wand was described as being "nice and supple".

How do you fly on a broom?

Just straddle a broomstick, hop, and get your friend to snap a photo while you're midair. Stream all the pictures together and, presto! Flying broomstick. And, judging from this and similar videos on YouTube, mixing in some sweet techno music seems to help the illusion.

How did Sirius afford a Firebolt?

It's actually quite simple. Sirius made an anonymous purchase with instruction to take the money from a specific vault number in Gringotts. Only the goblins would know the vault number belongs to the Blacks, and evidently they didn't care.

How much does a Firebolt cost in Harry Potter?

Approximately $7.35 USD. It must have cost thousands of galleons though, because even costing 1000 galleons would only make it cost $7350, which I highly doubt is enough to clear out Harry's vault.
