Nerderball, Brought to You By New England

Boston University’s blog has footage of a low-speed, low-flying game of Quidditch, the game played in the Harry Potter series of books. I don’t know anything about Quidditch other than it involves nerdy kids rather than sexy witches zooming around on brooms, and that Harry Potter is some nerdy shit. From BU:
Katie Stack has been enchanted with Harry Potter and his magical escapades since the fourth grade. She spent hours reading the series and reenacting the boy wizard’s adventures with her friends.
She is in college now, but Stack (CAS’11) continues to live out her childhood fantasies. She plays Quidditch, the international sport of the wizarding world, which has players zooming around on broomsticks and using balls to score points and knock one another off course.
Finally, ultimate frisbee players have someone to laugh at.
