Here they are! The entire team.
These people are awesome. Love how James created these as well!
Apologies to the hunger games.
This took me a while. Like, a good five minutes. But once I got what it spells out I had the stupidest grin on my face.
Agreed.
Wow that is like the sweetest, nicest, humblest quid tumblr post I’ve ever seen. Hicks, you rock so hard. <3 Congrats, buddy.
James is pure class. Love it and congrats Jedi Master and teammate!
You have Harry Potter? We have a HULK!! :) Jess Klein!
I was incredibly bored today, and the Quidditch world is pretty much dead due to finals and the looming announcement of Team USA. So to alleviate the tension and my boredom… I played with Photoshop. Since there are 42 people being chosen (21 official, 21 understudies), I’d say it’s a pretty good…
I’m not waiting to hear, I just agree with James so strongly that I felt compelled to reblog.
Come on decision committee, this is one of those times where you have to make the hard choices quickly.
(accidentally deleted this off my tumblr while trying to reblog myself…)Quidditch at the Olympics: The inner thoughts of a waiting playerThis isn’t a “HURRY UP!!” post. The IQA is sorting through almost 200 nominations. More like a “wow, this is actually really…
Just two quick things on this, basically I agree with thegoldensnitchy, but I do have one point to make- the having 10 years on 100 lbs on a college kid, for A LOT of us on community teams is totally a disadvantage.
And to fuckyesquidditch, I don’t play the game as some kind of way to get creepy sexual jollies, and I have a life and a job and all that, I do it because it is fun and awesome, and it is pretty infuriating that people who should know the way it can bring us together have to turn it into some kind of creepy thing.
Most of us don’t even tackle all that often, and quite frankly, if it was about some sort of sexual gratification, there are about a million less painful ways to go about that.
Personally, I feel like unless there’s a pro-league where you can get paid to play Quidditch (which I don’t see happening any time soon)…. you should probably quit playing full-time after college. You know, get a job or settle down or something?
Quidditch is my…
Quinksy, while I agree that there should be a limit and have in the past controversially stated that people above a certain age should stop playing on the same level as college students… I couldn’t disagree more with what you just said. Quidditch is not the only sport that people keep up with post-college. I personally know several people in community soccer, softball and even Ultimate Frisbee leagues. There’s nothing wrong with continuing to do something you’re passionate about once you get past college-graduation age. You don’t need to stop doing something you enjoy to become an adult.
There are plenty of people in this quidditch community that DO have jobs but continue to play. Why? The majority of their friends, they met through this sport. It is their primary source of exercise. It is a way for them to escape the boring day-by-day life that having a “career” sometimes brings. You want quidditch to last longer than a few years? Then don’t try to turn graduates off the sport. The only way it can have ANY sort of longevity is if a) we reach out to younger players and b) we increase the number of community teams. Yes, in an ideal future, community teams will become such a wide-spread thing that there will be enough of them to have a league of their own. They could perhaps play events that charge admission and make a few bucks. But money, to sports players, isn’t the reason they play. It’s the feeling they get when they use all their hard work to achieve brilliance on the field. Quidditch has given SO many people a sense of accomplishment and belonging, and turning them away at the time when life becomes most difficult and confusing…. that’s downright cruel.
YOLO YOLO YOLO. Yes, once you’re at the point where you have 10 years and 100 lbs on your opponents, you should probably stive to only play those at the same level as you. But until that’s really possible, do what you love and fuck the rest.
There are kind Slytherins.
There are brave Hufflepuffs.
There are some stupid Ravenclaws.
There are twisted Gryffindors.
Your House doesn’t define you.
And please, the next time you’re about to tease someone for being a lowly Hufflepuff, or a slimy Slytherin, or a stuck up Ravenclaw or even a foolish Gryffindor, just remember that we are all Hogwarts students. We’re all part of the magic.

Hello All. This is Jenna. She is a player on the Macaulay Marauders, but she also was a huge help on the Mid-Atlantic team this past weekend. With the Mid-Atlantic Team making it to the semi-finals and losing to the Number 1 team in the tournament you know this girl is serious. With her help, the team also ended up bringing down Middlebury 160 - 0. DAMNTHATSAKEEPER. Anyone that can help give that much of a smackdown to a team really deserves that title.

The Knights Who Say NE played in the IQA’s Champions Series this past weekend in Boston. Comprised of players from Briarcliff, Hofstra, Macaulay, NY Badassilisks, NYU, Stony Brook, UMass, and UMD, the knights ferociously clip-clopped their way into battle and here’s what went down:
