CBBC Newsround has an interesting report about the Nash family who are involved in making and providing brooms for the fourth Potter film (Goblet of Fire) presumably for the Quidditch World Cup scenes.

Quote:

For a group of children from Hampshire it'll be even more amazing, because their family makes the brooms.

Potter film bosses need lots of them for the Goblet of Fire and the Nash family business will be making them.

Andy Nash said: "there are seven grandchildren in the family and they are very excited and proud, telling all their friends in school."

Quote:

Six members of the Nash family work on making the brooms, in a business that's been going for 300 years.

Tamazin Simmonds who works on the film found the company on the internet.

Arthur Nash, 65, ran the business until he died earlier this year.

His wife Sue said "Arthur would have been so pleased - he was not very impressed with the brooms they used in the other (Harry Potter) films."

The CBBC also have a picture of the brooms being produced.

the only reason why the harry potter broomsticks in the movie are ugly to the husband is because he compared the brooms to his. the brooms in the movie are for riding not for sweeping like his does.
