Yes, ‘Quidditch’ is a real sport!

August 05, 2014

Part waterpolo, part rugby, fully awesome. Yes, Harry Potter fans, there is in fact a real Quidditch World Cup – now in its fifth year. And a new documentary focuses on one underdog team’s journey to the tournament.

Check out the trailer:

According to the official MUDBLOODS site, “Quidditch has secured its place as one of the fastest growing collegiate club sports today.”

Make no mistake, oh ye of little faith. This is exactly like JK Rowling’s “fantasy” version (minus the flying). This is brutal and physical – and a real thing.

And I totally want to be a part of it.
