Now knowing darn well that a fictional sporting event involving flying brooms and magic brought to life are sure to be a lesser event then what one sees on the screen in a "Harry Potter" film, my expectations were low. That being said there weren't even brooms. I at least expected little brooms they might ride like a hobby horse to at least keep in the spirit if things, but no. It was more of a keep-away/dodgeball thingy. The only thing creative was the Snitch. As most people know there are 3 types of balls; The Quaffle (1), the Bludgers (2) and the much coveted Snitch.
The Snitch turned out to be a pert blonde with a punkish haircut, and a little gold outfit. Within the last minutes of the match she starts to run. Kind of around the pitch with the Seekers chasing her and they must pull off of her a black flag of some sort to "capture the Snitch." All in all it was about 30 minutes of us complaining on how wrong it was. Ah well. It was still a lovely day in the sun. Here are a few pictures for your enjoyment.
