Pottermore
updated with a new infographic highlighting 10 facts all fans - Muggles and wizards alike - should know before Friday's Brazil vs. Bulgaria 2014 Quidditch World Cup final match, which will be updated live beginning 2pm local Patagonia time. Pottermore informed SnitchSeeker that while all the content coming from the final match was of course written by J.K. Rowling, the site's team will be updating with her notes in 'live time' as the game goes on.
A few highlights in the graphic below note Harry Potter's appearance at this, the 427th Quidditch World Cup.
A few of those tidbits for those who can't read the graphic, of course from J.K. Rowling, can be read here.
• 10,000 Portkeys were used to get to the 2014 Quidditch World Cup from around the world.
• Over 300 people in the crowds were injured during the opening ceremony due to the teams' mascots clashing with each other.
• Brazil, who will face Bulgaria Friday in the world cup final, have won the Quidditch World Cup five times since it began centuries ago.
• The 2014 Quidditch World Cup from Patagonia will be reported Friday by Ginny Potter, who will give the sports analysis, and Rita Skeeter, who will add a bit of her own juicy gossip to the games (all written by J.K. Rowling).
