This from another list:

--------
"This came from a friend of mine. I hadn't heard about it, but its very
real. Makes me think that there are some really interesting
possibilities for RPG toy tie-ins. Think of the fun toys one could
associate with LA for instance...

Anyway, enjoy...

Here's one that has been circulating around the web recently.  It seems
Mattel came out with a "Nimbus 2000" broomstick as seen in last year's
block-buster movie HARRY POTTER. This toy features special effects
including: magical swooping and whooshing sounds and also a vibrating
feature provided by three AA batteries. Remember, this is a toy
broom...that you are supposed to ride...by putting it between your legs.


I found an Amazon.com web page for the "Nimbus 2000 Broom" that showed
customer comments along the lines of... 

"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!" 

And... 
"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." 

And... 
"This toy was #1 on my daughter's Christmas list. So what the heck, 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 the toy
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."   "
