been very busy organizing portkeys across 5 continents.  Well, there 
are 7 continents total in the world.  What two continents are wizard 
free or not invited to The Quidditch World Cup?  I was thinking 
Antarctica (for sure) and ?????

America, and Australasia.  The WW wouldn't have caught up with new-
fangled innovations such as splitting America in two, or not counting 
Antarctica as part of Australasia.  I'm sure their maps are still of 
the 'Here be dragons' kind with cherubs blowing from the corners, 
(moving) pictures of sailing ships crossing the oceans, and illegibly 
written names of promontaries.

But at least the 'Here be dragons' would be correct.  As would be the 
sea monsters.  The sailing ships could be ghost vessels. Ideally the 
maps would show what volcanoes are erupting (so that passing 
broomsticks don't catch alight).

If however the WW was not so up to date, would the continents show 
Australasia, or have Tera Australus Incognita (sp?), as it used to be 
called (pre-Captain Cook).
