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.

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.

This headline isn't really gonna stay in breaking news is it? I may snap!

[EggsAckley]

Hmmmm.......it looks like you're feeling better, eh?
This is VERY funny. Thanks for a laugh when I needed it.
Yes, a FREEP at Amazon WOULD be wonderful!

Mommy, give me my Broom back!!!!!

[P7M13]

and now we know why witches ride brooms. does Satann have one yet?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Haha...if Satann had one, she wouldn't be so mean.......just a theory..........

[tutstar]

Surely the parents aren't so stupid that they don't know why their teen daughters like this "toy". Why would kids this age be given this type toy anyway? A witches broom seems to be a bit juvenile for this age group. Why not a stick horse instead?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Hey OPH, you have one of these, does it really vibrate?

[Cachelot]

This toy gives him the ability to fly around the house zapping things.

If your boy suddenly has gained the ability to fly, I suggest you cage him. And weigh the cage down with a few hefty weights. Then call the zoo, the police, the fire department and an exorcist.

Be careful and don't get zapped.

huhu :)

[P7M13]

well, if we hear of a battery shortage in West Texas. we will know why!

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

A parent that names their kid "Vantro", it seems.

[kneezles]

This is a hoot!!!!! Duracell is gonna love this "toy"!

[demnomo]

Come on. This must be from The Onion. If it's true, it gives the anti-Harry Potterites some "fuel for the occultist book-burning fire." Gracious. WHAT WERE THE CREATORS OF THIS ITEM THINKING? I shudder to think...

[WarSlut]

When you consider that Alfonso Cuarón, director of the "Y tu mamá también" (Mexican version of "Kids") has been tapped for the fourth Harry Potter film -- "Harry and the Lucky Rabbit's Foot", or something like that -- it all begins to make sense.

Somewhere, Victor Salva is smiling.

Doing my Dr. Evil impression with my pinkie to my lip:
"I will create an evil broomstick that will force the children of the world to be corrupted and deflowered. Then I will open up a series of Adult Bookstores and sell the more anatomically correct versions to these same children when they get old enough to come (no pun intended) through the door. We will make billions! MUAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!"

Just wrote a review for Amazon. Goes something like this:

= Fun = Educational = Durability
A wonderful addition to my collection!
Reviewer: Janet Reno from Florida
I never saw Harry Potter, but after reading a few of the reviews here, I ran right out and purchased a Nimbus 2000! The sound effects and vibrating action is lots of fun, and it's great for relieving the stress of driving my red pickup truck all day. The only thing I would suggest is an AC adaptor for the Nimbus 2000. The batteries are getting expensive!

I think they review the reviews before they post to the page, though. The control freaks!

[Minutemen]

what kind of moron would watch any movie 32 times?

[Redcloak]

and now we know why witches ride brooms.

Actually, that is why they (occultists from the middle ages) "rode" brooms! They would smear psycho-active chemicals (such as belladonna) on the broomstick and absorb them through the mucus membranes of the vulva. Hence "flying" on a broomstick.
