As much as I wish for this brilliant take on the Wizarding Quidditch to be in the UK…

…only in America. Has to be said.

I need to find a Quidditch team somewhere in England. Next World Cup, I better have a team. Then, sign me up. I’ll be there.

I’ll be there this year! It’s going to be great! It’ll be a big letdown if Middlebury wins again, for the fifth time in a row….

I may have to fly over there and check this out. I had no idea Quidditch was this popular enough for people to form there own teams. I may form my own team and compete( in the future).
