As we've learned from people's various takes on the Weasley family clock,Harry Potter-inspired DIY projects don't tend to be easy. Case in point: Imgur user Goodmen999's construction of the Nimbus 2000 racing broom.
The beautiful broom was first made by scaling its dimensions as it appeared in the movie - the only issue being that different brooms were used throughout filming. After determining the approximate measurements, he sawed the shape down from a piece of mahogany wood, and attached styrofoam to one stop of the broom,and covered the styrofoam with lean branches. Then, once he created a metal gold stand, and he painted the finished product in a clear lacquer. whether we're being honest,the whole project sounds hard as f*ck.Check out the impressive undertaking below. Full disclosure: this is not a DIY for the faint of heart - but it is awesome.
