[HPFGU-OTChatter] US Quidditch

[ender_w]

I wonder what the wizarding sport of the US is.  Yes, I know that Rowling invented a rather simple minded American game called Quod (or something like that.  My QTA book isn't handy right now), but as an American, I think there should be some other National Wizard Pastimes; a wizarding game based on baseball, perhaps, or lacrosse.  How about a Wizarding equivalent of NASCAR, complete with racing brooms emblazoned with the logos of corporate sponsors.  Any thoughts?

  I take it to be roughly parallel with the popularity of Rugby in the US --
  there're a few teams around the NY area, but they represent a small area and
  not a big one -- there's a Manhattan team, and IIRC a Brooklyn team. (Okay,
  logic flaw in that Manhattan and Brooklyn have huge populations...but
  there's also one in New Canaan, Connecticut (aka Yuppieville) and IIRC
  Chappaqua, NY (Clintonville).

  Just throwing out some thochts.
