Baylor quidditch is flying high

By Branson Hardcastle | Reporter

Quidditch, the sport that originated from the Harry Potter movies, is flying high on Baylor’s campus.

Quidditch was first introduced to the world in “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” in 1997. The game has now been adapted to real life as different universities play each other.

The object of the game is to score as many points as possible by getting the quaffle, a ball about the size of a volleyball, through one of the opponents three goal hoops. Each time the quaffle passes through, the team gains ten points.
