Any relation?  <g>

I do hope your housing situation has picked up.


Meredith asked: "I went through some of the other pictures there, most
specifically the trophy case.  Does it bother anyone else that the Quidditch
Cup isn't a cup?"

Simon replied:  "No. Just because it is called a cup does not mean that it 
is one."


Yeah.  The World Cup (football/soccer) isn't a cup, and when I read the 
Quidditch Cup section it reminded me of the World Cup throughout:  the 
crowds of course, the only-once-every-several-years excitement, the 
incredible attendance from all around the world with flags etc. to match, 
the British hooligans (sorry Brits, but as a soccer fan who's forever 
hearing "aren't there RIOTS at those things" when I tell family I'm going to 
a match, I want non-soccer-fans to know that hooliganism is largely confined 
to a couple of countries).  I don't know if JKR is a football fan or has 
ever been to the Cup, but her description sounded just like Pasadena in '94. 
  Except that we didn't have any hooliganism <g>.
