Brooms Up! - Quidditch World Cup IV

This is a 30 minute documentary about the creation of Muggle Quidditch and the 2010 World Cup.  I can not recommend it enough. 

Back when I was a freshman at Syracuse University in 2007, I read that Quidditch teams were forming at colleges around the east coast.  I decided to make a facebook page to see if other students at SU were interested.  Although the facebook group grew in size, it never gained enough momentum to actually launch and I quickly lost interest.  The facebook page still exists, and still has the goofy logo I made for it, although I am no longer the admin.  

Watching this documentary and reading about the IQA, I wish that I had worked harder to Make ‘CUSE Quidditch Happen.  Luckily, someone else took up the cause and today Syracuse has its very own IQA Quidditch team.  This past month they made it to the quarter finals in the 2011 World Cup.
