Seeing as flying broomsticks don’t exist and Quidditch is a fictional sport from the mind of J.K. Rowling, you can’t actually play it. Or can you?
The snitch is worth way, way too many points.
Thanks to one group of skydivers, we can watch a real life, mid-air Quidditch match in flight!
Colombian telecommunications company ETB posted the footage to YouTube on April 26, and it’s now going viral. The recent video shows extreme skydiving beaters, seekers, keepers and chasers complete with quaffle and all, riding broomsticks as they freefall from the sky. They proceeded to play a short game before they landed. We are not talking about running on the ground with your non-magical brooms.
With Harry Potter and the Cursed Child opening this July in London, it’s no surprise that people have Harry Potter and Quidditch on their mind right now.
For now though, we can just prepare ourselves for the next Quidditch World Cup by playing Quidditch the Muggle way.
