Naughty Nimbus 2000

Hear No Evil
Nimbus 2000 Harry Potter "Oh... oh my GOD, Nimbus!" is what I can hear across the country from young girls. The Harry Potter Nimbus 2000 broom by Mattel is a great toy in the grand scheme of things. It's well made, very durable and it lights up. It also makes sounds as you move around with it (motion detection) which can be a bit annoying.

But it does one other thing that really cracks me up, it VIBRATES!

Actual Quotes
Check out the actual quotes [user reviews from a reputable online book purveyor -Ed.]:

"[My cousin] plays with it, pretending to be Hermione, riding it around her room or outside in her yard until she's exhausted."

"...my seventeen year old daughter loves it too!"

"I'm 32 and enjoy riding the broom as much as my 12 yr old and 7 year old!"

Let the Buyer Beware
Before any of you decide to order this thing (for obvious reasons), let me warn you: the AAA batteries run out pretty quickly. Overall, it might be a great gag to dress up like Harry Potter and use this broom to tease your friends... if you get what I mean.
