How to Make Harry Potter's Nimbus 2000

  • In this video, I tackle my very first prop replica project, recreating Harry Potter's Nimbus 2000 (before it got whomped by a willow) from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. As a source, I used pictures of the replica that a company called CineReplica used to distribute.
    My broom is made from red oak (it's about a third of the cost of mahogany), and is scaled to 5' (152cm), based on some stills from the first Harry Potter film. My build omits the foot pegs that are shown in the films, since they aren't mentioned in the books, and I think that the broom looks better without them.
    Here's the CineReplica broom for comparison: cinereplicas.c...
    And here's some info about the broom from the Harry Potter wiki: harrypotter.wik...

    That's super cool - Good thing your wife didn't want to go as something out of 'back to the future' or you'd be making a Delorean still. Nice work.

    Hi. Awesome build.
    I was wondering if you’d be willing to share where you got the twigs you used for the tail?

    • @ApprenticeMarks
      @ApprenticeMarks  5 лет назад +4

      Thank you! I bought the twigs at Michael’s, a big craft store here in Canada. They weren’t branded, so I can’t recommend them by name, but I would imagine that any craft store that sells stuff for making bouquets or flower arrangements would stock a similar product. They cost about $25 for the package.

  • @chriscynefin966
    @chriscynefin966 Год назад

    So I don't know if Apprentice Marks will ever see this, but I'm trying to figure out the "brush part". Why not steam the twigs so they bend easier? What if you wanted the buck to be made out of twigs? Most importantly, did you try different kinds of twigs?

    • @ApprenticeMarks
      @ApprenticeMarks  10 месяцев назад

      The short answers are: I didn't think to try, you'd need much thinner gauge twigs, and no I used the first bundle I could get my hands on at the craft store. I was more interested in how the broom looked from a reasonable distance than from up close

    • @ApprenticeMarks
      @ApprenticeMarks  4 года назад

      Hey Duncan, I got the twigs at Michaels, a large craft supply store. Any large craft store that sells materials for making wreaths or floral displays should carry something similar, although you may need to stain them to get the colour right

      Emily Charlotte I didn’t really keep track, but it wasn’t too much. The oak for the handle was probably the biggest expense. I would say that you could probably build one for around $50 total
