Eddie:
I wasn't thinking sport... just some kind of most-amazing catch by
Harry (maybe on a broom) that keeps the locket from Voldy.

But now that you mention it, it reminds me of the game of chess played
against Death from Ingmar Bergman's "The Seventh Seal", parodied so
perfectly in the movie "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" where they play
Twister, Battleship, Clue, and electronic footbal against Death.

So anyway, back to HP canon: Harry used his broom-flying skills to
defeat the dragon in GoF.  And Quidditch is so intrinsic to Harry's
skill-set that I'd love to see it become an important factor in the
final book.
