This Harry Potter Pinewood Derby car is muggle-made, wizard-approved

The boy who lived, come to … race?

A Pinewood Derby car inspired by Harry Potter’s Nimbus 2000 broomstick has landed on a Cub Scout racetrack this season.

The car is the handiwork of Henry, a Webelos from Pack 350 of the Fort Worth, Texas-based Longhorn Council. Henry will soon cross over into Boy Scouts, so this is his last Pinewood Derby. You could say he’s gone out with a bang.

As Henry has shown us, it turns out Quidditch isn’t the only competition worthy of this lightning-fast broomstick. See Henry’s masterpiece below.
