Reviewer: A toy enthusiast from NJ

This toy was #1 on my daughter's Christmas list. So what the heck, although it has no educational value I figured it would be good for imaginative play. It wasn't until after she opened her gift and started playing with it that I realized that the toy may offer a more than sensational experience. The broomstick has cute sound effects and ***VIBRATES*** when they put it between their legs to fly. Come on---what were the creators of this toy thinking? She'll keep playing with the Nimbus 2000, but with the batteries removed.

Reviewer: Ashley from TX

My 12 year old daughter is a big Harry Potter fan, and loved the part with the Nimbus 2000, so I decided to buy her this toy. I was afraid she would think it was too babyish, but she LOVES this toy. Even my daughter's friends enjoy playing with this fun toy. I was surprised at how long they can just sit in her room and play with this magic broomstick! A great buy for any Harry Potter fan! :)

Reviewer: A toy enthusiast from Maine, USA

I recently bought this for my son, Vantro. He's a HUGE Harry Potter fan. Seen the movie 32 times (in the theaters) and made the paper. This toy gives him the ability to fly around the house zapping things. My only problem I see with the toy is the batteries drain too fast and his sister fights him over it, so now I need to buy her one.

Reviewer: poola13 from Ohio

When my 12 year old daughter asked for this for her birthday, I kind of wondered if she was too old for it, but she seems to LOVE it. Her friends love it too! They play for hours in her bedroom with this great toy. They really seem to like the special effects it offers (the sound effects and vibrating). My oldest daughter (17) really likes it too! I reccomend this for all children.

Seen the movie 32 times

What type of parent let their child see a movie 32 times?

I would not let my child watch that much T.V. at home, lest pay for a movie 32 times.

I know these are "real' reviews on that site, but somebody had too much free time.

The letters are hilarious, though.

He may have a dirty mind, but what in the world was the toy company thinking when they made this toy?

C'mon a broom that vibrates when you put it between your legs???

I have a hard time believing SOMEONE at some point in time didn't say "maybe this isn't the world's greatest idea", but did it anyway

IMHO

Well, why did you think witchcraft is so popular, particularly among ugly women? It's not the eye of new or tongue of frog....

Probably b/c Amazon will delete these reviews as soon as they find out about them.

Perhaps they didn't realize why it did so well in its focus groups.

You forgot to highlight this one:

My only problem I see with the toy is the batteries drain too fast and his sister fights him over it, so now I need to buy her one.

I swear I'm innocent .... I was laughing so hard and in such a rush to post it that I didn't even think about it. I never visit Amazon.com and would never buy anything from them ... I prefer buying from small shop owners near the where town I live.
