KEYE TV reported today that the East Austin Liberal Arts and Sciences Academy High School had started their very own Quidditch league. Class mates assume the well known positions of Beater, Keeper, Seeker and yes, even Snitch.

One word: Ridiculous! I wouldn’t have believed it at all except I saw a similar match taking place on ESPN yesterday. Other than the videos of guys and girls holding volleyballs quaffles and running around with brooms between their legs, the Snitch takes the cake. The Snitch is dressed in tight, and oddly revealing, shiny clothes and has what appears to be a sock with a tennis ball in it hanging out the backside of their shorts. The Snitch then runs around the playing area trying to keep the Seeker from pulling the tennis ball out of their pants.

Watch the video, and then I’d recommend going to Youtube to see this recent phenomenon in action across the country.
