I'm just a muggle

As a muggle I don't appreciate the finer details of broomstick design. My wife has been teaching our granddaughter to use hers, and they went out together to celebrate Halloween while I cooked the frog legs, snails and eye of toad. They keep mentioning that the Nimbus 2013 is due out soon, but it means nothing to me. I'm sure a people carrier would be more practical and less conspicuous.
