Okay, JKR goes so far to tell us that the latest broom is the Firebolt. Other brooms already invented include the Comets and the Nimbus 2000's. What would you name the next generation of broomsticks?

Thunderbolt or Lightningbolt would be interesting

They must be other things that could be added to brooms to aid flight and help in the game of Quidditch?

Or maybe the Skyspeeders. Or it could be the Lightningmobiles!

Something named after Harry probably.

The Lightning Scar? Haha, not very creative though at least it's got something to do with Harry.

I think the next broom that Nimbus would introduce after the Firebolt would be called the Jet. It would go from 0-150 in 6 seconds and have a top speed of 260 mph. smile.gif

Other broom companies like Cleansweep and Comet would release new brooms in the number system they have previously used like the Cleansweep Twenty and the Comet 500.

I think the jet probably wouldn't be the name of a broom, because about half of the wizarding world would have no idea what a jet is.
