USA, AZ: Rare Sport - Quidditch >Riding A Firebolt Editorial Image

More >´Quidditch` photos in my portfolio! This quidditch player uses a Firebolt, a famous broom in the Harry Potter novels. Quidditch is a competitive sport in the wizarding world of the Harry Potter universe, which - obviously - has been adapted in the real world. Originally it is a rough but very popular sport, played by wizards and witches. Two teams of seven players are riding broomsticks, using four balls and six elevated ring-shaped goals, three on each side of the Quidditch pitch (field). My quidditch pictures (see list below) show two teams of Arizona State University (ASU) playing on the campus lawn in Tempe. The difficulty in playing quidditch seems to be to catch and hold the ball (quaffle) with one hand while the other hand has to hold on to the broomstick. Quidditch is now played at over 300 universities and high schools in the United States and 12 other countries.
