How BROOMSTICK used in Harry Potter series?

Since Harry plays Quidditch, his brooms - a Nimbus 2000, and later a Firebolt - are prominent in the series. The Nimbus 2000 was given to him by special consent of Dumbledore via Minerva McGonagall, who had chosen him as Seeker.The Firebolt was given to him by Sirius as a Christmas gift after his Nimbus was destroyed during a Quidditch match.The Firebolt remains the fastest broom in the world, having surpassed the previous record holder, the Nimbus 2001, and its price is so grand that it is only available upon request.

Wands are "quasi-sentient", and as close to animate as an object can get because they are imbued with a great deal of magic.
Although the wand cores may come from the same creature, or the wood may come from the same tree,
Although the wand cores may come from the same creature, or the wood may come from the same tree,
no two wands are exactly alike.
