another great quiz ruined by the inclusion of some fictional nonsense , Potter this time .Quidditch is not a sport and ridiculous attempts by big kids who should know better to try and make it one deserve all the ridicule that comes their way .You cannot fly folks so grow up.

Quidditch (AKA quadball) is a sport. You may call it ridiculous, and you'll be correct (running around with a broom between one's legs is quite silly), but if ridiculous sports weren't sports, this quiz would be very short indeed.

I'm a grandmother and I've read all the books and seen all the movies even though the books are written for children. Lots of good morals there to impart to the younger generation, and really fun reading. I mean, who wouldn't like flying motorcycles, the school bully being temporarily turned into a ferret, a whomping willow tree which smacks anyone who comes near it, and all culminating in the good guys defeating the evil guys at their version of Armageddon? Quidditch may not have been real in its origins, but it has definitely become a real Muggle sport.

Indeed. And some of them are pretty ridiculous (golf?), but we're habituated to them so we don't reject them. Sometimes silly, contrived games are fun if you're willing to accept them on their own terms and embrace the challenge.

(You'll find an analogous phenomenon with religion. New ones seem weird, but old ones are equally so.)

Really, most people that have seen the movies/books are over 20. It first book was in '97 (omg) so that is already 22 (whaat??) years ago. so it was around before people that are 20 now were even born.. So your comment makes absolutely no sense.

Besides the fact that I think the demographics of people that have seen it, (I mean the age they were when they saw, not the age they are now) are at least as much above 20 as below. (now if your argument was, im not 10 yet, or I am over 75 or something, ok, those ages have been less exposed to it)

Plus people have made an existing sport out of it nowadays ( no flying necesarry...) and even so, it doesnt say in the quiz that fictional sports are excluded.

It is both real ( though not exactly the same as in the book obviously) and there is no reason not to have fictional sports on the quiz. I really dont get why people get so upset that it is added in this quiz

(I think it might be the same people that throw a fit when a unicorn is called an animal. Because it is fictional according to their logic it can't be an animal (yet they never say that about dragons...) well, humans in books arent humans then either, because they are made up for the story aswell, eventhough there are real versions of humans)

I love that there's a Wikipedia article on the game parenthetically entitled "Real-life Sport".

Even if it weren't played by real people in the real world, like "Parrises Squares" in Star Trek, it would still be a sport, albeit a fictional one.
