The Firebolt shoes are named and inspired after the fastest broom in the world. The design features sleek black bristles, silver footholds, authentic wooden grain, and the classic Harry Potter font on the back. Wizarding World Digital has packed some extra surprises for fans who purchase the shoes, including the tissue paper that is styled to look like the Daily Prophet. The box the shoes will arrive in will be decorated with special Enchanted Keys. If you use your Wizarding World app (available in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States) to scan these Keys, you’ll be met with an additional surprise.
