International Quidditch Association... wait, what?

International Quidditch Association... yup, folks, you've read that right! There is actually an international association dedicated to playing Quidditch. Please excuse me while I am mindfucked. 

In all seriousness, though, it's pretty awesome. As most people know, I am somewhat new to participating in the fandom to the degree I am now. It never ceases to surprise and amaze me, just how much determined Potterheads are able to recreate. There's even a petition going around, with an aim of making Quidditch an Olympic sport. I think, that might actually get me watching the Olympics!

I have never watched a game of earth-bound Quidditch in my life. Perhaps I should check it out... especially since NYC has its own Quidditch team, the Badassilisks. 

Incidentally the International Quidditch Association are now looking into organizing a full-blown video production team. If anyone is interested, they can check it out here: http://www.internationalquidditch.org/2012/08/video-production-assemble/

Someone really should develop functional broomsticks that can be flown. I think, once that happens, Quidditch will become the most famous game on the planet. 

Now, please excuse me while I youtube some Quidditch matches.
