This past Saturday, I went to a real-life Quidditch match--the first of the season for the Ohio Qudditich League. The participants obviously can't fly like the characters in the Harry Potter novels do and there are a number of other issues to address in order to conduct the game (including how to make for an effective Golden Snitch), but they seemed to do a reasonably good job of putting it all together. I was asked to be the referee, which proved to be the perfect way to learn the rules and to see everything that was going on. It was enjoyable and it looked like a really good workout for the folks who played.
A Dayton television station came by to film it. The news story that appeared on Columbus television can be found here. (You can even catch a brief glimpse of me patrolling the sidelines toward the end of the clip.) Also, more on this and all kinds of other things for Harry Potter fans in Ohio can be found here.
