But brooms continued to be made by independent wizards and were incapable of achieving high speeds and controlling them at higher heights. Elliot Smethwyck invented the Cushioning Charm in 1820. The quality of brooms continued to vary for many centuries but comfort problems were not solved until the 19th century. For example, a skilled broom-maker and a neighbour skills at potion-making would exchange brooms for potions. Then by the 12th century, skilled broom-makers were being noticed and bartering for their service was popular. Įffect of the Cushioning Charm (invisible) These brooms were good enough for scoring goals, knocking balls and avoiding collision to the point where players began trying to knock each other off the brooms with boulders. They had played ancient games on them since they were invented, and by the 11th century, an early known form of Quidditch began to take shape. Įventually the brooms improved on comfort enough to the point where people rode them for fun and not only for transportation. Lochrin would complain of splinters even from a short trip on the broom.

The charms were very basic and the power and speed and comfort of every broom varied for centuries because they were made by each family or person using the produce that were available to them. They were very uncomfortable since they were made of unvarnished wood knotted together. Unfortunately, the early broomsticks had many problems and needed many improvements. The broomstick would be enchanted with spells in order to fly and by 962, the first broomsticks were invented.

The ones who could were Animagi who took the rare form of a bird or were able to transform into a bat (but had the small brain of one). In ancient times, there was no spell that enabled wizardkind to fly unsupported and they had to search for other kinds of transportation.
