Steve, 
What about the game where Harry is literally hanging on by his hands to the stick?  The bubble isn't there for that.

  I've been thinking the same thing. I've been trying to imagine how 
  they can make it look at all convincing and can't picture it. I bet 
  it's giving the SFX guys major headaches. And I'll bet we'll all be 
  absolutely amazed when we see it :)

  And speaking as a guy, I can guarantee you that there is NO WAY I'd 
  ride a broomstick unless there were some kind of charm involved to 
  make it comfortable. Think about the acceleration too...nothing to 
  hang onto except a slippery broom handle? There has to be some kind 
  of dampening field involved, similar to the one protecting people 
  aboard the starship Enterprise when it goes zooming around the galaxy 
  (Trek fans will know what I mean, seriously obessive Trek fans will 
  know the specs and schematics of the system and own the tech 
  manual...guess which kind of fan I am?). I would expect that there is 
  a protective "bubble" that holds broom and rider (and robes) together 
  as a single moving object and that allows the rider to essentially 
  float a bit above the handle.
