History[]

Moontrimmer Ad

A Moontrimmer advertisement from 1901

Designed with a slim ash handle and the ability to fly higher than other brooms (and remain controllable) at the time, the brooms were a revolution in broomstick design, and were in great demand by Quidditch players. However, working on her own, Gladys was never able to keep up with the demand for them.[1]

Willa Weholt owned an old Moontrimmer when she was in the Hufflepuff Quidditch team. After her death in which she plunged into the ground while trying to catch a Golden Snitch, she returned as a ghost and still flew on the broomstick around the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch.[2]
