flying broom

Airborne cleaning tool

A flying broom is a witch's traditional mode of transportation in folklore and fantasy—a household broom that carries its rider through the air.

The image dominates Halloween iconography and fantasy fiction: She mounted her flying broom and soared over the rooftops.

In the Harry Potter series, flying brooms are sports equipment for the game of Quidditch.
