Harry Potter? For casting the Patronus maybe, not flying.

No.
It's a quote from an old instructor friend of mine. heard when falling
out the bottom of a failed aerobatic move :-)

Oh, well if it makes your friend better, Harry took a dump off his
broom when being chased by the Hungarian Horntail, a very acrobatic
sequence of broomstick maneuvering. Much of fit scud running.

Think of it. Full yaw, pitch and roll with no controls!

Think canard without multiple wings and roll by body English. Pitch
and yaw by "stick" pressure.lol

Seriously, there have been several projects where the broomstick was
used as a model, then a prototype, for aircraft. Jet prop of course.
Drones are RCs broomsticks with small wings.
