what do you expect?

they're LARPing that they're playing a witch's basketball/football game with flying broomsticks and flying golden wasp balls, but in real life, there's no flying and no contact.

they also LARP as women. no one should be surprised.

Quidditch even in the Harry Potter universe is heckin gay. Unless you run up a whopping score the only position that really matters is the seeker. It would be like if you played an entire basketball game and then at the end they released a mouse and each team has a dedicated mouse catcher and it's worth a hundred points to catch it. Add on top of that the indignity of carrying a broom between your legs because in real life flying broom sticks aren't a thing and every real life quidditch game should end with voluntary mass euthanasia.

yeah, i always looked at that and scratched my head. had to rewatch the scene and it makes even less sense.

the snitch is 150 points and must be caught to end the game. the big ball is what, 10 points? so you can put the big ball in a shitload and it's completely irrelevant.

a large part is the two extra balls that are shooting around on their own volition knocking people out. something tells me the LARPers don't include them.
