Sometimes what seemed like a good idea on the drawing board turns out to be something quite different in reality.
The pending release of the new Harry Potter flick brought this back to mind.
Those Byters who are into Harry Potter will be aware that a broomstick is one form of travel used by witches and wizards and that broomsticks are an integral part of the game of Quidditch. Harry was given a Nimbus 2000 broomstick by Professor McGonagall, later replaced by a gift from his godfather Sirius of a Firebolt broomstick.
