Fourth Annual Quidditch World Cup in NY this Weekend

A Muggle adaptation of Quidditch is celebrating its Fourth Annual World Cup in New York City this coming weekend.

Yes. The magical sport of broomsticks and waterpolo found in the Harry Potter novels has elvolved into a cult following after the International Quidditch Association, a registered non-profit organization got its start in 2005 as an intermural league at Middlebury College in Vermont.

Now before you get to all the eye rolling, keep in mind that this is being taken seriously as a recreational sport. This World Cup has teams registered representing Michigan State, Penn State, Tufts, Harvard, Villanova, Boston University, New York University, UMASS, Syracuse, Ohio State to name a few.

Every sport starts somewhere, and this one seems to have started in the mind of JK Rowling.

Could “real” Quidditch become a real sport?
