Marina Hyde on Muggle Quidditch

"Harry Potter's favourite sport is currently sweeping collegiate America, despite the fact that humans can't fly"

" There are good and rubbish fictional sports - my colleague Steven Wells cited some notables in a blog earlier this year. But the good ones almost without exception make some kind of satirical or philosophical point. Otherwise, well, what's the point? They're just not cricket. Or football. Or baseball, or whatever . . . given the philosophical/satirical qualities of most fictional sports, attempting to recreate them in real life is the equivalent of testing Zeno's paradox of the arrow in flight. When this ancient philosophical point is realised in the form of a real-life sport, you get something known as "archery," which for many is less interesting than the idea that motion is merely illusory "

Nothing to add or contest.
