For the Potter Fans or because it made me smile

Quotes:
"...nine UW-Madison students - all women - are shouting to each other about quaffles, bludgers and golden snitches, and, despite a steady rain, are clearly delighting in a vigorous game of Quidditch. Yes, Quidditch.The once-fictional game from the Harry Potter series has been translated for Muggles, or non-magical humans, and is becoming increasingly popular across college campuses.
For the first time this semester, UW-Madison has an official team.Instead of flying, they run around with broomsticks between their legs. Rather than chasing a golden snitch with wings, one player from each team called a seeker aims for a speedy, yellow-clad runner who carries a tennis ball in a sock tucked into his or her waistband.
Once the snitch is caught - a 50-point reward, according to Muggle rules - the game ends.
Students from Middlebury College in Vermont brought the game down to Earth in 2005. Now, there are more than 150 teams nationwide and about 30 in the Midwest. There’s even a World Cup held by the Intercollegiate Quidditch Association."
