When I heard about real life quidditch I have to say I was slightly intrigued. It sound like it might be a bit of craic. A sport that is serious enough to whet my competitive appetite but laid back enough so that it would lead to me having a mental breakdown if my team didn't win.
Of course, the obvious question that sprung to my mind was 'How does the whole snitch thing work?' The answer has put me off the sport before I'll ever get a chance to play it.
This lad right here ... This lad is the human snitch. And yes, that is a gold ball and sock hanging from his arse.
The video explains the concept.
Also, why are there brooms? I know they have them in the Harry Potter films but they're flying on them! In real life they're utterly pointless. Unless ... Broom Gladiators: now that's a sport I'd pay to see!
