Harry Potter Quidditch World Cup

**DarkAurora** · May 8th, 2003

EA is making a new Harry Potter game that focuses solely on Quidditch. It's going to be on all 3 systems I believe and have online play. Sxamgia and other HP fans should be happy about this.

Quidditch must be the most boring sport, real or false, in the entire world, I like Harry Potter the movies but hate this sport.
I dislike how one team can be thrashing the other by 90 points to 10 but if the other team gets the snitch they win, how is that fair.

I'm sure they'd have options to disable the snitch. They better make it that way, haha. I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way you do.

But if you're team is good enough, you can still win even if you don't catch the snitch. In the 4th book, Harry, Hermoine, Ron, and Ron's family go to the Quidditch World Cup. It's Ireland vs. Bulgaria. Bulgaria gets the snitch at the end of the game but Ireland scored so many goals that they still won. The 150 points you get for catching the snitch wasn't enough for Bulgaria to win.

I'm only half way through the third book at the moment, so thanks for the spoiler

.
Hah only joking, I guess I have to go and have a disscussion with my friends young son who is a Harry Potter nut.

It's not a big spoiler. The book practically tells you it's going to happen before the match even starts.

Harry potter is one of those things which I was determined not to like, I resisted every attempt to get me to see the first film, until my girlfriend threatened to cut me off if I didn't go with her.
To my surprise I actually have enjoyed the films and the books are turning out to be even better.

I still throughly dislike Quiddich through and haven't Hogwarts heard of ballpoint pens, I mean who uses feathers now, still with the British education board cutting costs it won't be long before pupils have to use them in real life.

**DarkAurora** · May 13th, 2003

They probably have to use feathers because ballpoint pens are made by Muggles and we all know that the school governer, Lucius Malfoy, hates Muggles. Or the wizards just don't like change.

I can't believe it's only a month till the 5th book comes out. I need to preorder mine soon before they all get sold out.

I think Harry Potter is going to be a seven book series, so I will wait until they are all out and buy the special edition box set that is bound to follow, until then I will just keep borrowing them from my friends son.
Did you see the story that a man found copies of the Order of the Phoenix dumped in a field near the printing works, he turned them over to the Sun Newspaper who handed them back to the publisher, now while I would have handed them back I would have read it first.

**DarkAurora** · May 13th, 2003

I'm glad he handed them back in because information would have leaked and I want to know as little as possible about the 5th book. I've already heard some things about it and this could be the best book yet if what I heard is correct.
