>>>>The broom, the Firebolt and the Nimbus 2000. Where did the 2000
come from? It makes sense that the setting of the Harry Potter books
is current, and not placed in the past or it wouldn't have stated the
broomsticks that Draco bought were the 2001's. It makes sense, like
car models.<<<<

In Book 1, Ron asks Draco if he doesn't have a Comet 260 at home
(Chap 10, Halloween). Since I doubt Draco's broomstick is THAT old,
the numbers are probably just model numbers and not related to the year
they were manufactured.
