Harry Potter Game Quidditch in Real Life

[knowledge_of_self]

I'm a Harry Potter fan, but I couldn't believe when I heard on Conan (TV Show) that people actually play the game Quidditch in real life and have competitions and stuff. But apparently it's true as seen here. I find this to be probably one of the stupidest things I've ever seen.

Hilarious. Reminds me of playing Calvinball (from the Calvin & Hobbes comic) with friends when I was younger...

Dude...that's awesome!

Fwiw I think it's no more or less dumb than any other sport

I think it's kind of cool for little kids? But seeing a full grown man or woman run around with a broom between their legs it's rather odd looking imo :P

Lol! I thought about something similar.

On the one I find it stupid too, because running all the time with a broomstick between my legs, I imagine would be annoying and makes no sense and on the other it is also original to give it a try and prove yourself: broomsticks don't fly. :)

Yes, they seem rather old, also wondered why.

Exactly my thoughts. I think it is also kind of cool in a role playing sense, if you are into Harry Potter. It might be silly, but no more silly than D&D.

;) Maybe just a little more dumb, as Q. is supposed to be a flying game and this just looks like a cross between some over-imaginative Lacrosse players dressed as Harry Potter reenactors having some harmless fun running around with brooms between their legs.

This game gets a 93/4 out of 10 for creative use of old broomsticks. ;)

They're at least socializing and not sitting at home playing video games. So yeah what SAO said :)

It seems you're not the only one. Even the guy playing Haggard in that video said:

I love Harry Potter, I really do...but I think grown-*ss people playing Quiddich is the most foolish thing that I have ever seen in my life.

...but he laughed too.

A couple others said:

"It was worth a 4 hour drive"; "...it's the best experience I've had"; "...it's just plain fun"; "...this is what I wanted to do forever!"

Quidditch...you know you wanna play, Deedlet! :D

Quidditch...you know you wanna play, Deedlet! :D

I'd totally play the real version with real flying brooms :P
