[Sport] The Weird and Wonderful World of College Sports: Quidditch

[Aronus]

Who here loves Harry Potter? I sure do, but even if you scoff at the book series, you probably have still heard of the wizarding sport Quidditch. But Quidditch is no longer only an invention by J.K. Rowling, safely tucked within the pages of a few novels—it has made its way into the real world.

It is played at the collegiate level and worldwide, and there are even some high school teams. It draws in Harry Potter fans, athletes looking for a new and interesting sport, and others who’ve stumbled upon it during Orientation, or were dragged to practice by their friends.

aYou know who you are. This year, Quidditch became part of my life here at the University of Rochester. And I am so grateful that it did.
