Quidditch is supposed to be silly and outlandish. The rules make little sense; the game can go on indefinitely if the snitch doesn't decide to show up. The books make references to this. It's not supposed to be soccer or football.


Yeah, but it's utterly ridiculous that there's a way to score not only 15 scores but also end the game. How would you feel if your football team was up 42-0 but then some guy on the other teammade a kick that was not only worth 45 points but also ended the game?

She clearly has no ideas how sports work because that makes literally everyone else on the team worthless. It was designed to make Harry more important not with actual rules in mind. Any editor who was into sports would immediately tell her to go back to the drawing board with Quidditch.

It is supposed to be utterly ridiculous. And Krum caught the snitch at the World Cup, and his team still lost, so there's that.

I'm not disagreeing that she has no idea how sports work; she's a woman and fairly liberal, so its not surprising.

I disagree so much.
Her version makes other players worthless but if you refer to my previous post and use the time clock and snitch to end the game, it would be a very interesting sport honesty
