Astolfi Aether (Pron; Ai-Stolf-Fee Ee-ther), more commonly referred to as AA Brooms, were established in 1734, taking their monicker from the famous player Silvio Astolfi who aided in its creation. Founded by Fridolph Schell and Dalva Acciai (Née Kvothe), this company is a large contributor to the mounts for players in the leagues and national teams, and takes great pride in how and where they source their materials and staff to create the greatest pieces of worksmanship to have been produced between Scottish and Italian collaboration. They are renowned for pushing the boundaries on what makes a broom and how one thinks of one, daring to delve into yet uncharted waters to include larger demographics in their work, to provide everyone with a broom made right for them. Large creations are saved for Flight Festivals which take part every five to ten years, but also take on commissions and projects plans from outside investors.

Keep an eye out for their marketing gimmicks, since they bring in celebrities for certain projects and use their play style for specific models.

Welcome to Astolfi Aether, where the sky really is the limit.

This shop, located on the main street of Hogsmeade, sells magical instruments, such as Sneakoscopes, as well as repairing any instruments brought in by customers. They do not repair dark objects.

This shop has several branches throughout the Wizarding World, including one in Paris, which simply proves they are always prepared to dress anyone in their elegant clothing options. Full of quirky merchandise, browsing in Gladrags Wizardwear is never dull.

This post office has hundreds of owls, of many different varieties. They are color-coded to show customers how long it would take for their post to reach their desired location.

Honeydukes is a shop famous for their chocolate, as well as many other delicious sweets. It is a place that anyone who ventures to Hogsmeade would stop at, wanting to sample and purchase their wonderful wares.

This small tea shop is located off of a side road in Hogsmade, and owed by Madam Puddifoot herself. It is thought by many (or at least, people with eyes) to be decorated extremely tackily. It is quite frilly, with gaudy tables and chairs. The tables are decorated by lace and china sugar bowls, and is rather cramped due to the small size.

Although this forest spans the grounds of Hogwarts, it is accessible through Hogsmeade as well, if one is up for the journey. Herbologists and magizoologists would find this most beneficial, as Merlin only knows all of the intriguing things that could be found there. The forest is so vast, though, that attempting to get to Hogwarts through this route would be next to impossible.

The Three Broomsticks is both an inn and a pub, and is always warm, crowded, and even a bit smoky, but extremely welcoming. There are many drinks on the menu, including butterbeer, firewhiskey, gillywater, mulled mead, red currant rum, and cherry syrup and soda.

The offices for this broomstick and Quidditch magazines is one of the taller buildings in Hogsmeade, but the outside appears just as quaint and welcoming as the rest of them. The building has a river rock exterior and spans four storeys. The first floor has the reception and a waiting area with coffee and snacks. The second floor has employee cubicles, as well as a break room. The third floor has private offices for the editor and deputy editor, a conference room, and a photography studio. The fourth floor has been enchanted to appear much large, and is used as a testing and filming area for new brooms.

This is a favorite spot for many Hogwarts students, as it carries many different jokes and tricks. Some examples of these products are Dungbombs, Hiccough Sweets, Frog Spawn Soap, Sugar Quills and Nose-Biting Teacups. The shop was briefly closed when Lord Voldemort was rising to power once again, but opened its doors once again a few years after his defeat.
