Okay, I'm amused. Those fine people in charge of Harry Potter merchandising came up with a great idea for a Potter-based toy -- a real nimbus 2000 broomstick! It's battery-powered, has sound effects, and, er, vibrates. Which is exactly what you want in a toy that your kids stick between their legs, right? No wonder this guy's 17-year-old daughter loves it so much.

Also, I am officially a philistine, having got 0 out of a possible 10 on the BBC's culture quiz. Ah, well.
