Harry Potter Broomstick Sweeping the Net Again

Everyone knows how big Harry Potter was back in ‘01 so this would have been a top toy. Until it was pulled from the shelves. The “problem” was that the toy vibrates. I somewhat understand that because who’d want a plain old broom? It would have to do something. They can’t make it really fly so the closest thing to simulating that is to make it vibrate. On the other hand I do understand the concern that parents would have because really it was a poor choice of a toy.

A review on Amazon:

This toy was #1 on my daughter’s Christmas list. So what the heck, although it has no 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.

This is not a new story as it happened a few years ago, but it is an interesting one, and it appears to be sweeping the net again.
