Who Sent Harry the Firebolt

Did Harry get the Firebolt for Christmas?

In 1993, Harry Potter received a Firebolt racing broom as a Christmas present from an anonymous benefactor following the destruction of his Nimbus 2000. Correctly suspecting that Sirius Black sent it, Hermione Granger reported it to Professor McGonagall, who confiscated it for testing.

Why did Sirius give Harry the Firebolt?

After being thoroughly tested (which included stripping it down), the broom was given back to Harry since Professor Flitwick and Madam Hooch found no jinxes, hexes or curses on it. Sirius later admitted to having sent the broom to Harry, calling it “thirteen birthdays’ worth of presents from your godfather.”
