[HPFGU-Movie] Re: Quidditch in SS/PS

If I may, the rules for the game are ridiculous.
There is NO reason a team that is trailing by more than 150 points to even 
ATTEMPT to go for the snitch. The trailing teams seeker should just basically 
becoming an obstacle to the leading teams seeker until the trailing team 
catches up.

The ONLY reasonable explanation would could even attempt to attach to this is 
if Quidditch leagues award a set amount of points to the victorious team, and 
a certain amount of points to the losing team based on the amount of the 
deficit. (sort of like NHL hockey where you get different points depending if 
you win, tie, lose in overtime, or lose in regulation)  

This has never been mentioned in the books, and probably never will be, as 
everyone seems perfectly content with the fact that if played by the rules, 
the game of Quidditch is pretty lame. 

The game REALLY screams for a time limit. But, whatever, I can watch sports 
when I want a sports-fix and read/watch Harry Potter when I want a Harry 
Potter fix and never the twain shall meet.
