Quidditch Beats Football

7 February 2011 | Filed Under Tales from the Author's Desk 

The Super Bowl was yesterday, but I could really care less. Dudes slamming into each other and moving a ball a few yards – wow, that’s so exciting.

A sport that actually is exciting? Quidditch. Players on brooms, four balls, six goal posts.

It’s no contest. Quidditch beats football, hands down.

If you are/know an inventor, encourage them, plead with them, beg them, command them to invent flying brooms, bludgers, and a snitch.

Trust me. Way worth it.
