The summaries are always enjoyable! Thanks for this one, Marianne.

I would like to take the opportunity presented by the title of this 
chapter to ask the group a question: Was anyone else appalled to 
discover in QTTA that the Bludgers are actually made of iron? I'd 
been assuming they were made of wood, or maybe even rubber. Think of 
how much damage even a baseball, which is essentially small ball of 
wound string, can do if it hits a batter in the arm or face. 
Quidditch boasts of speeds of a hundred miles an hour or more - and a 
heavy iron ball! Forget Harry's arm or Krum's nose - what about their 
lives? It's a wonder the death toll doesn't reach horrific 
proportions. What is it with wizards and dangerous sports, anyway? 
Can't they enjoy the thrill of the chase without the added spice of 
risking broken necks? :)
