re: ***Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Official Discussion*** Spoilers

Sorry, but Quidditch is simply a story telling device to make Harry more important. No way in hell would Football have considered giveing a player who not only scores 45 points with one action, but also ends the game. 999 times out of 1000, the guy who catches Snitch wins the game, which makes everyone else pointless. That's not how a sport works.

Compare Pro-Bending from the Legend of Korra. It makes total sense and from someone who understands sports. It's not like it the firebender hits someone it wins the game. Quidditch is bullshite.
