Inside the Quidditch World
Authour Eric Hansen writes about his first experince of "mugggle quiditch" in the quiditch world cup held in England. Hanses was shocked to realize that over ten thousand spectators showed up for the event wearing robes and carrying wands just like their favorite wizards in the J.K Rowlings "Harry Potter" series. The rules are just like the real game minus the whole magic thing, players run around with brooms between their legs, they try to throw balls through three hoops, and the game ends when the snitch is caught. One aspect of the game I thought was interesting was how they have a Snitch runner, who is generally a track star, runaround with tennis ball to simulate the magic snitch in the game. Also the authour Hansen provided fantastic imagery like "a cross between the Super Bowl and a medieval fair.” when describing the sport.
