Quidditch is the most bullshite game of all time.

Complicated set of rules with boundaries restricted for certain positions including goalie, sometimes.
Complicated scoring system that would be above the heads of our finest SEC refs.
Beaters that are totally allowed to kick your arse with clubs indiscriminately while all the other complicated shite is going on.
If a seeker catches the snitch none of that previous shite matters, it was just for shits and giggles.

Reminds me when I was a kid there was a game show on Nickelodeon called "Wild and Crazy Kids" and there were two teams of kids competing in various wacky challenges and what not.
There were three rounds, round 1 was worth 50 points, round 2 was worth 100 points, and round 3 was worth 200 points.
Even as like a 9 year old I figured out quickly this scoring system was complete bullshite as it rendered the first two rounds completely pointless.

Sorry to hear your team got defeated on the quidditch pitch, Draco.

You can just delay the game forever. This was a game invented by a woman with no clue what she was proposing.

Fun in concept, but c'mon... a field game invented by a woman writer. it serves its purpose.

I feel like the entire concept could've been solved if catching the snitch simply ended the game instead of also being worth 150 points.
If your team is winning, you want to catch it. If the other team is winning, you want to stop the other team's seeker from catching it.
Still makes for the same dynamic of the seekers competing against each other and boxing each other out.
Just none of the hokey BS that renders the entire match meaningless.

The really stupid thing is you play until someone catches the snitch and that team gets 150 points. Victor Krum catches the snitch in the world championship and ends the game but his team still lost. JKR explained that he knew his team's defense sucked and they couldn't catch up. WHAT A LOSER!

It is hilarious to watch people attempt to play it in real life, saw a game between Baylor and Texas a few weeks back.

I believe there’s a new quidditch video game coming out and I think the rules make a lot more sense. More or less I think it’s something like:
- Catching the Snitch has way less value (I think 20 points) but it doesn’t end the game.
- Each game is first to 100 points
- There’s a time limit so if no one gets to 100 it’s whoever is winning when the clock hits 0.
Way more practical.

A british woman that knows nothing about sports invented a game with the sole purpose of allowing her 12 year old protagonist to be able to play it and be the hero

Quidditch is one of many things that don’t really make sense if you think too much about it. She’s tried to explain away some of it but you just kind of have to shrug and accept the BS.

It would be as if there was a way in football to not only immediately score 48 points, but also end the game. Yeah, I love Jo, but she clearly doesn’t understand sports.

Yeah it has the same problem too, but that's more a function of the game running too long. If too many rounds have elapsed without a winner they essentially make the next round worth so many points it's sudden death.

It could have just been easier to have them play Lacrosse in the air on broom sticks throwing a little ball with wings around and have floating goals.

Yeah, the game makes no sense. Rowling is a great storyteller, but she can't invent games very well.

Completely agree. not to mention super dangerous and ripe for rigging. nothing to stop someone from casting a spell on your broom or bludger.
Semi related: My 6 year old son and i will play soccer in the back yard. My blond 2.5 year son old will sometime try and play with us, but eventually just pick up the ball and run away with it. We have since made a golden snitch rule, that whom ever catches him wins the game.

You can tell a woman invented it. This isn’t meant to sound nearly as offensive as I’m sure it does.
