| | |  Quidditch grows as a college sport
The Mollywobbles, the Middlebury College Quidditch Team, is proving what many originally thought crazy: Quidditch can be a college sport. On just this past Sunday, the first ever Intercollegiate Quidditch World Cup Fall Festival took place, and the final match was Middlebury versus Vassar College. Quote:
"We played really well out there today," said Middlebury team captain Charlie Hoffman. "We went out there and surprised a lot of teams. Hit 'em low and hit 'em hard."
Interest is growing, as proven by the twelve teams just from Middlebury submitted into the competition. The sport, though just a joke at one point, is taking over several college campuses and is proving to be quite a serious matter. To learn more about the event in general, you can go here. Quote:
"Even the bench is getting beat up out there," Manshel said. "Tensions are low and tempers are high out there. This is going to be a match."

I read the article and I nearly fell out of my chair laughing at the picture. It looks hilarious.
It also looks and sounds VERY FUN! 
That's awesome that it's now a college sport. If I was going to college in England, I'd so join the team! (or at least try out. The experience would be an awesome story. 'Back in my day I rode a broom and played a wizard's sport...')
TOTALLY AWESOME!

It looks like it would be awkward to hold the broom and pass the quaffle at the same time. I don't think I could do it. I'm not that coordinated. And how do they handle bludgers?

Over the summer, I saw a Middleblury Quidditch Team t-shirt while visiting the University of Vermont. I was like OOAHH! And now I'm super-excited about looking at colleges because I really would like to go to a Quidditch school  | |

__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |
