Play quidditch in real life!

via Damansara Dementors Quidditch on Facebook

Yes, you can play this fictional Harry Potter game in reality, and trust me it is just as fun. Quidditch isn’t only for Potterheads as everyone should try it once in their life. It would make for a great story to tell at parties. Malaysia is one of 40 countries to officially make it a sport. However real-life quidditch uses deflated volleyballs as the quaffle, the snitch is only worth 30 points and you have to play with a broomstick between your legs. It’s definitely something incredibly fun and spontaneous to do!
