Despite these concrete obstacles, a group of students at Georgia Southern University managed to start a quidditch club team last semester.
“At first it was kind of like a joke, but then we actually started planning on it and it seemed like a lot of fun, so we made up the constitution. and it just became a thing,” Sam Bauer, president of the Quidditch Club and a junior English major, said.
Quidditch, the wildly popular sport of the Harry Potter world, is the wizardry equivalent of a soccer/rugby hybrid. Each team has three hoops to defend with a keeper posted at each.
