KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Did you know? It was Crookshanks who helped Sirius gift Harry his Firebolt. Sirius tasked the cat with taking the broomstick order to the Owl Office in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban .

Detailed explanation-2: -Sirius ordered the Firebolt by owl post, and had the money taken from his own vault. Interestingly, the goblins don’t seem to care if you’re a criminal or not, they seem to feel you have a right to your money and can put anything in your vault you want.

Detailed explanation-3: -At the end of Prisoner of Azkaban, after Sirius left Hogwarts on Buckbeak, he sent the Firebolt to Harry as a present, and while this was a heartwarming moment between Sirius and Harry, it has been pointed out as a potential plot hole given the circumstances around Sirius’ status as a fugitive.

Detailed explanation-4: -He saw it happen. He went to watch Harry during that match-Harry spotted him there, in dog form-so when Harry fell and his broom went flying off towards the whomping willow, Sirius was like ‘Merlin, that’s unlucky!

Detailed explanation-5: -History. Correctly suspecting that Sirius Black sent it, Hermione Granger reported it to Professor McGonagall. McGonagall then confiscated it for testing, in order to ensure Harry’s safety.
