Marquette Quidditch stays grounded

Before 2005, quidditch was a word that was most associated with the Harry Potter book and movie series. Harry and Draco Malfoy would duke it out in the air throughout their time at Hogwarts, leaving the crowds to look up in awe as Gryffindor took down Slytherin.

Now, quidditch is different. The action doesn’t take place high up in the air at quick speeds on magic broomsticks. The passing of a decade has seen the game transition from the big screen to college campuses, including Marquette. Since its formation in 2011, the Marquette Quidditch Club has worked to assure people that this sport is more than just a fad from a movie anymore.
