Tail-Twig Clippers – Harry Potter Lexicon

A maintenance tool for keeping a broomstick‘s tail in peak condition.

Clippers to fix or streamline broken broom tail twigs were included in the Broomstick Servicing Kit given to Harry Potter by Hermione Granger for his 13th birthday. (PA1)
When Harry received a new Firebolt for Christmas, he wanted to use the clippers, but the Firebolt had no bent twigs to cut. (PA11)
