"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"
The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really existed), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts. |

Any attempt to change the title to its "correct" spelling or grammar, or British English, or from the original language to English will be reverted, unless another canonical source stylises it correctly. |
A Penny Farthing (properly spelt penny-farthing) was an early type of bicycle, used primarily in the late 19th century, which featured a large front wheel (the "penny") and a much smaller rear wheel (the "farthing").[1]
The second question on the first W.O.M.B.A.T. asked to which Ministry of Magic department, if any, one would report a friend who owned — but never rode — a Muggle Penny Farthing enchanted by her grandmother to "skim an inch above the ground" and "[achieve] speeds of over 100mph." The correct answer to this question was presumably "none of the above", as a law existed to legalise the ownership of otherwise illegal enchanted objects so long as they were not used.[2]
