"You could raffle off those Cleansweep Fives, I expect a museum would bid for them"

— Draco Malfoy insulting on the twins' outdated broomsticks^[src]

The Cleansweep Five was a broomstick produced by the Cleansweep Broom Company, created sometime between 1937 and 1953.^[1] It was succeeded by the Cleansweep Six.^[2]

Gwendolyn Morgan, Captain of the Holyhead Harpies, owned a Cleansweep Five. When the Captain of the Heidelberg Harriers Rudolf Brand attempted to propose to her on the pitch, Gwendolyn responded by concussing him with it.^[3] Fred and George Weasley flew Cleansweep Fives when they played as Beaters for the Gryffindor Quidditch team.^[4]

Presumably, between the production of the Cleansweep Three and Cleansweep Five, the Cleansweep Four was produced, although this has never been mentioned.

↑ The Cleansweep Five already existed by the time Rudolf Brand proposed to Gwendolyn Morgan in 1953, so it must've been before then. The last known year a Cleansweep was made was the Cleansweep Three in 1937. Therefore, the Cleansweep Five (and Four if it exists) must've first been created between those times.
