definitely see Harry's Nimbus in the trailer and it is not 
particularly sleek; the handle is quite branchlike.  (See trailer #2, 
when Hedwig delivers the broom.)  (Yes, it's Hedwig, not "6 screech 
owls."  Even a L.O.O.N.like me doesn't care about this detail, though, 
nor the color of McGonagall's robes.)

Cornflower replies:
I think it is still wrapped in paper during that scene. ("DO NOT OPEN 
THE PARCEL AT THE TABLE." p.122) I agree that any idiot would guess it 
was a broom, but still, it is not suppposed to be totally 
identifiable. I don't think we've been given a good glimpse of the 
Nimbus yet...

Cheers,

ps. I agree with you on the colour of the robes thing. Black suits 
McGonagal so well. Now Lockhart in black would be a fatal error, 
should they ever make CoS!
